[wilder]

Heh. Yeah. [He won't comment on getting back. That shit's just too optimistic for Zelos Wilder to be expressing.]

[So instead he cuts the feed and starts heading to the ruins. Sure enough, about five minutes later Ryan can probably spot that bright red hair as he strolls towards him]

Hey.

[choreographics]

[What do you expect from a Disney kid?

By the time Zelos finds him, Ryan's just seated in a patch of sunlight even though he's still pretty much dripping wet. He's busy creating little balls of water with his hands, but they're no longer baseball-sized. They're about the size of ping-pong balls and it's pretty evident that the baseball was, in fact, just a fluke. He still has a lot of practice to do.

When he hears the older man though he just tilts his head back to see him.]

What, did you run here? [It's teasing, of course, but bro that was a lot faster than he expected. Either that or Ryan just wasn't paying attention which is also likely.]

[wilder]

[He simply smirks]

I think I'll keep ya guessing on that.

[He probably just moved at a fast pace BUT WHO KNOWS. But he crosses his arms, looking mildly amused]

So are you always gonna be wet, or do you just keep drenching yourself?

[choreographics]

I...may or may not have dove back in the lake just to see if I could still breathe underwater. [Why wouldn't he? You're tempting a kid who's never had any kind of exposure to magic, of course he's going to play with it as much as possible.] I'm starting to wonder if I should start carrying a towel with me everywhere I go.

[He's still on the ground but he's looking up at Zelos.] Am I getting up, or are you sitting down?

[wilder]

[Yeah he's...not even surprised. New magic users man.] Might not be a bad idea, least until you learn how to control it better.

[A gesture for him to get up] Getting up!

[choreographics]

I'm one of the most controlled people I know. This shouldn't be bad. [Sort of. He can control himself quite well but right now he's more interested in pushing his new limits.]

[He sighs though, an almost-pout crossing his lips at the idea before he more or less pushes himself up without using his hands in one fluid motion.] You said you wanted to test something, right?

[wilder]

Heh. I'll take your word for it! [He doesn't feel strongly one way or another, but we'll see man]

Mmhmm! [But he doesn't explain exactly what. Instead he starts examining Ryan, circling around him- seeing if there's any physical changes to see like height, weight, hairstyle change. You know, stuff that's bound to change a little over 5 months for a teenager]

[choreographics]

[…it doesn't take him long to figure out what Zelos is doing, so he stands still. Five months isn't that long of a time, but the most obvious changes are that his hair's a tiny bit longer (he hasn't cut it since he moved to New York, actually) and he's slimmed down to pretty much nothing but lean muscle. His height's still the same, topping off at about 5'7" but his posture's a little more rigid.

Other than that? Still the same Ryan.]

…I'm not a clone. I promise. [A beat.] I mean I kind of am, but that's sort of the whole point of being a twin.

[wilder]

[He snorts at that remark, but keeps doing what he was doing. But don't worry, soon he'll pull away]

That kinda sucks. Gone five months and you didn't even grow an inch.

But, you're definitely different.

[choreographics]

I don't think I'd be nearly as flexible if I were much taller though. [It's cool bro. Just don't ask weird questions like why there's a tiny bit of bruising around his collarbone. No big, really.]

How can you even really tell?

[wilder]

Yeah, you're probably right. [Plz. You actually think Zelos Wilder doesn't know what a hickey is? That's just cute.]

[Also that you think he'll give a straight answer]

Hmm...I have eyes?

[choreographics]

[Sac. Ri. Liege. He just rolls his eyes though.]

I have eyes, too, but that doesn't mean I notice anything really different about me. It's only been a few months. Don't be ridiculous.

[wilder]

Of course you wouldn't notice! You've been with yourself every day!

[Duh!]

I take it that school's got you working out a lot more? I hope you're eating properly.

[choreographics]

You're starting to sound like my mom. Or Kelsi. [He just smirks and deflects the statement, even going as far as being a little bratty and spinning in a full, slow pirouette.]

It's tough. Juilliard's really, really tough and I'm practicing a lot but I guess that was just preparing me to come back here. You'd be surprised how handy being bendy and agile is.

[wilder]

Hey, watch it. I'm not nearly old enough to be your parent.

[so rude you youngster]

Heh, oh, believe me - [in a rather suggestive tone] I know.

[choreographics]

Whatever. [Sorry man you're still at least 6 years older than he is.] I even had a birthday while I was gone and you're still way older than I am.

[…a pause…] You're trying to mess with me, aren't you?

[wilder]

Oh yeah? Just how old do you think I am?

[Very innocently!] What ever do you mean, Ryan?

[choreographics]

Oh. Uh…I don't know, like late twenties? [Actually he never thought about it. He sort of just assumed, oops.] Maybe like ten years older than me.

[Sulksulksulk and maybe a little bit of an embarrassed look.] Zelos. Seriously…I don't want to think about all of your…your sexual prowess or whatever.

[wilder]

Hey! Try mid-twenties!

[RUDE. And means you totally deserve this teasing.]

Wow, you're thinking about me in bed? That's really something Ryan.

[choreographics]

Oh. [Thinking about that…] You're still old though.

[Goddamnit no. …well…he wasn't going to t--okay no god, this is Zelos and that's so not okay! He's definitely flustered though.] Oh my god shut up, that's not what I meant!

[Let's flip this around on him though.] Are you done checking me out?

[wilder]

Ouch. [Slumps his shoulders]

[Yep, Zelos is ENTIRELY amused by the flustering. He won't even bother to hide the grin. And yeah, flipping it around? Isn't very effective. He doesn't even seem phased by the wording.]

Hm? Oh yeah, sure! I saw what I needed!

[choreographics]

I'm still not even sure what you were looking for. [That's not fair. He's still not used to not getting his way.]

[wilder]

[DEAL WITH IT]

Evidence! ♥

[choreographics]

Evidence that I went home, or evidence that I'm still five-foot-seven?

[wilder]

...Both?
