"Well, uh. My dress is red?" She offered before taking another bite of the cookie dough, passing it back over.
"Well I would hope so silly!" She finally giggled herself. "It's too dark out there to do anything else... ... and uh. You don't have to wear a suit. Not really."
He grinned. "Festive," he nodded, liking the sensation of movement. He dug his spoon in for more dough.
"Man... I'd get lost if I tried any adventuring at night after a dance," he said. "I'll wear a suit," he giggled. "And take pictures, my mom would never believe me."
He chuckled at that. "Even if I crossed my heart, hoped to die, stick a needle in my eye, she wouldn't believe me for two seconds that I wore a suit."
"We should go on an adventure! We haven't adventured in forever! But not at night when we can't see and we can't use my compass," he said patting his pocket where the trusty compass was stowed away.
"Sweeeeeeet," he giggled, already working on his poses. He flexed, batted his eye lashes, and even did a little dance from his seat on her bed.
He handed her his compass when he was done making a fool of himself. "It's a good one," he said tapping the compass face. "Right, when the sun is up and is going to stay that way for a while. No dark. Even though I have an awesome flashlight. You should see all the fun stuff I have in my hiking bag," his eyes got wide with excitement.
At the sight of Apple 'flexing'- Janis ended up gasping for a lack of air from laughing so hard. Clutching her spoon and spliff in her giggle fit, Janis was definitely feeling better. Or giddy. Same difference.
"Oh really?" She replied, excited, "Where do you go hiking?" The woods was not on her radar for that kind of question.
He giggled right along with her. He was glad to see she was in an infinitely better mood. He flexed again and jokingly asked "Can you point me to the gym? Is it this way?"
"Yeah! Dude! I go hiking everywhere! I hit Smokey all the time with my family and there are a few trails here in Louisiana that I hike when I'm here. When we're traveling in California to visit my grandma we hike the California mountain ranges, we've been to the Rockys and the Adirondacks and the Appalachian mountains," he listed off the top of his head. "We're hitting the Green Mountains of Vermont this summer," he added with a grin. "Have you ever been hiking?" he asked enthusiastically.
Janis was in no real position to respond, or give directions one way or another. Thankfully (or perhaps not) the cause of these giggles was slowly growing smaller and shorter.
"Like, on purpose? Noooooooooooooooooooo. Why would I do that?" Just think of what could fall in her hair!
"No? Why wouldn't you! Hiking is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing! You just like... you know... walk and think and sometimes smoke..." he grinned. "But mostly it's just thinking and climbing and walking," he nodded, leaning a little more toward Janis. "I should take you sometime. I should take you on one of the easy trails around here."
Her spoon and joint were slowly, slowly starting to become forgotten items as his offer prompted another fit of giggles.
"Are they all in the woods?" Was he leaning? She didn't really notice, but his eyes were very, very interesting. "I don't really want to go out to the woods..."
"Well... kinda," he laughed taking another drag of the joint he just remembered was in his hand. "But not these woods. I wouldn't take you to these woods," he shook his head. "Maybe we should just go frolic in some open fields. Very open fields," he suggested with a giggle.
"Open fields. Biiiiiiiiiiig open fields." Janis agreed, pulling back from Apple for a bit in order to grab at her platypus that had been abandoned when he came. "I don't think I'm ever going into any woods again."
"Leonard, eh?" he said inspecting the plush. "It's pretty cool looking," he grinned giving the beak a little pat. "Where does one find a platypus plush?" he laughed. Then he paused. "That was a platypus right?"
"I dunno. Disney land?" Because of course she's been there. Look at the place, they're meant for one another. "Yup! He is!" She bounced for a second, and then let herself sit back down next to Apple.
"Makes sense," he grinned, not really knowing if it made sense or not. He didn't really pay attention to Disney or anything like that really. It was a miracle he even knew what Disney was!
Apple looped one arm around her shoulders in a half hug. "Any time," he said simply. On honesty, he had needed it just as badly as she did.
