I couldn't say if anyone has ever done anything like that about me. I met an author, when I was younger a few of them. I'll see if I can find you a version of Dicken's stuff.

[ He wouldn't necessarily need to be under him to hear that. ]

Friends in high places can be extremely useful in my line of work.

From:

chrisisofaith

I think I've heard the name from others of Earth, but I'd read him if you like his stuff.

[Shh let him have his body worship asperations.]

I can imagine. You've a veritable network to do what you have to do. Takes a lot of planning and groundwork and trust built to maintain it.

Speaking of high places, I have a new picture for you.

From:

assassin_daddy

Cant say that I was a big fan. I appreciate what he was trying to say but they paid him by the word. Never pay a writer by the word.

[ Or you'll end up with Great bloody Expectations. ]

I'd love to claim that I did it all myself, but I didn't. Both here and back home someone did all that ground work for me.

New picture?

From:

chrisisofaith

That sounds terrible. I rescind my offer to try his things. If you find anything you like to read, I'll try that instead.

[He trusted Jacob's tastes in things at least.]

Still takes work to maintain and not let it fall apart. Credit where it's due, love.

Here. Flew up to that big fucker in the Up one night. Been having trouble keeping my head clear, but that helped for a bit. Thought you'd like the view. [He sends a new picture along.]

From:

assassin_daddy

There were some books at home that weren't too bad. But I never got as much time to sit and read as I'd like. Maybe you can give me some recommendations for books here?

[ The image comes through and its gorgeous, Chris sat up there with the sky reflected, the buildings spread out below him. He saves it quietly as the background of his phone. ]

I should join you up there some time. It looks incredible.

From:

chrisisofaith

I have a few I've enjoyed as long as you're not too particular. I'll bring a few with me later.

Be happy to take you whenever you'd like. It's peaceful enough. Cold though, and getting colder, we'll bring a blanket.

[...]

Date on the ledge of a building?

From:

assassin_daddy

A talking blanket?

I was thinking it might be interesting to work out how I can get up there, but maybe that's for another time. If you want to help me up there, that's fine by me. We can cuddle under a blanket together.

From:

chrisisofaith

No a sad regular blanket, I’ll just have to talk to you instead

Gods, when you do at least let me spot you or something. Otherwise sounds grand. Maybe you can hold my hand to keep me from falling as I lean over the side. Something different in the thrill of that versus doing it with wings out.

From:

assassin_daddy

Ah well at least I'll earn my keep as a conversation partner.

Spot me? You know no one has done that since I was nine years old. You dont have to. But I'll hold your hand. And maybe we can find a smaller drop and ill teach you some leaps.

From:

chrisisofaith

Darling I don’t know how tall you grow your buildings in London, but this thing’s a monster and I’d not scale it how you scale things without at least my anti-death magic no matter how old I was.

But I’ll learn leaps from you if you’ve a kind to teach, my dexterity is more fair than the average man, even if it’s nothing to a rogue.

From:

assassin_daddy

St Paul's is over 30 of these modern storeys. That I can do easily. But I suppose the difference is foot and handholds. If you want to come, of course you can, I'll never say no to your company.

I'd love to. They're very good at distracting you from problems. It's a rush. But we'll start small. The jump is easy, the landing is harder

From:

chrisisofaith

I'll give you my company and give the appropriate oohs and ahhs if you scale a smooth building. If you fall, I'll catch you and both be happier for it.

That's usually what I use for flying and for my motorcycle, but I'm always willing to try new ways to get that feeling. I surrender myself to your expert tutelage. You can talk form and technique a bit to me when I come over.

[That sounded very nice, really. Cuddling and talking shop? Feels like the closest they've gotten back to their norm since Jacob woke up.]

From:

assassin_daddy

Oh, my hero! But I won't fall. There's some tricks you can employ if you lose your footing and whatnot.

Motorcycle? Now that I am yet to see. You should bring it over too. I think I remember how the motor cars work but I've never had the chance to really look at a motorcycle at close quarters.

From:

chrisisofaith

Have I not shown you my motorcycle?
Suppose I always wanted to impress you with wing instead.
Mine's a little special, runs on water, namely the water in the air, so it doesn't smell terrible and it's made silent but you're welcome to poke around it.

[There's a few other enchantments too, but those seem the most important right now. Alright, when he came over next, motorcycle it would be.]

From:

assassin_daddy

I'm not really the tinkering type, but I can appreciate something that goes fast with a pretty blond draped over it.

From:

chrisisofaith

Well it certainly has both of those. I’ll take you for a ride on her

I’m told I don’t drive safely, so we’ll see what you think

From:

assassin_daddy

I'm sure you're just fine. After all, you've not seen me drive.

From:

chrisisofaith

Can you drive?

From:

assassin_daddy

Carriages, traps and carts. And I was taught how to drive a car. Actually have one, parked outside Vrenille's place.

From:

chrisisofaith

Do you? Alright, well maybe I'll show you how to ride the bike too if you like. Not too different from a horse in some ways and better than a car.

From:

assassin_daddy

Better than a car? Can you support that bold claim?

From:

chrisisofaith

Absolutely, in list form:
-Doesn't smell as bad as car, in fact mine doesn't smell like anything at all
-Mine isn't loud like a car
-Goes faster
-Wind in your face
-If you've got a passenger they have to hold onto you to keep from flying off
-Better leg room
