"But you said we'd go in one hour, one hour is a lot of time to kill." He shrugged. "We can definitely go now though, I'm cool with that."

"I said that about ten minutes ago. And it'll take twenty minutes to walk to the waterfall, and I still need to get rope to keep you two close, and you want your camera and Sollux probably needs a whole hour to get over the fact that he's going to be in an underwater cave with two idiots."

Sollux kicked sand at him, scowling. "Jutht be glad I'm not clauthtrophobic."

●

Dave laughed with a small smirk, nodding. "That's a perfectly valid point right there. But speak for yourself, because I'm clearly a classy and educated dumbass, not a regular idiot."

2016-04-18 01:57:02

🌀

"I don't even think I classify as an idiot anymore." He snickered, diving under the waves and floating off a little while he waited for them to follow.

"No, you've promoted yourthelf to 'I'm the largetht piethe of shit thith thide of the galaxy." Sollux deadpanned, rolling his eyes and wading into the water.

2016-04-18 02:01:06

●

Dave splashed water on Sollux's face for that. "Bad Sollux." And with that he swam ahead, pretending that he wasn't coming back for him.

2016-04-18 02:03:06

🌀

Sollux grumbled, but managed to start swimming after him. He wasn't very confident, that much was obvious, and he ended up doing some form of doggy paddle to follow them.

2016-04-18 02:07:17

●

He ended up laughing a bit, and stopping so that Sollux could hold onto him if he wanted. He gave him a look that clearly said 'I didn't really mean that', and reached out for his hand himself.

2016-04-18 02:10:35

🌀

Sollux scowled at him, but rather gratefully took Dave's hand. Water still isn't his natural element. But he can't deny there's a similar sort of weightlessness to swimming as there is to flying.

2016-04-18 02:14:10

●

He helped him back to the boat, and went to fetch them towels, since Sollux didn't know where those are, throwing Sollux's at his head.

2016-04-18 02:15:17

🌀

Eridan was rummaging around in the cabinet, pulling out the same rope he used last time. "We'll head for the waterfall in about ten, twenty at the latest." He said, moving to sit down.

Sollux wrapped the towel around his shoulders, sitting down opposite. "What's so great about these caves?"

2016-04-18 02:17:31

●

"They're bioluminescent." Dave explained. "It's really fucking cool, and there are a couple of caves we left unexplored, so we could find other types of glowing shit, or other colours." Probably not, but its always nice to dream.

2016-04-18 02:23:58

🌀

He looked at him, brow raised. "What, like him." He jerked his thumb over at Eridan, who glanced up. "The caves look better than I do. But yes. Like me."

2016-04-18 02:28:56

●

Dave shrugged. "Bascially yes. The only difference is that the cave is not a troll and that it's bigger." He nods

2016-04-18 02:33:34

🌀

Sollux shrugged. He remembered the very few times he'd seen Eridan accidentally light up, and wondered what it would look like on a cave-sized scale.

2016-04-18 03:03:53

●

"I think I took pictures of you like that on the cave, didn't I?" He asks Eridan, sitting on the floor.

2016-04-18 07:05:43

🌀

"You took a whole heap of pictures. And you only asked if you could take like three of them." He was busy testing the strength of the rope and checking to see if he had a longer one. "What did you even do with those pictures. Are they still clumped up with the other ones you took?"

2016-04-18 07:35:31

●

"Hey, I did ask you if I could keep them, didn't I? I just wanted to take them. And yeah, pretty much. They're on my desk."

2016-04-18 07:38:14

🌀

Eridan rolled his eyes, smiling at him and dropping a kiss onto Dave's forehead. "Take photos of him this time. His eyes shine in the dark, and hey, maybe we can use you as a light source instead of me this time."

Sollux just flipped him off.

2016-04-18 07:42:32

●

"Mmmh interesting. Sollux ready yourself, its a rule that everyone in this trip has to get their photos taken." He leaned into the touch, smiling wide.

2016-04-18 07:51:03

🌀

"Doeth that include you?" He looked at him with a raised brow, completely unamused. Sure, he wasn't too fussed with having his photo taken, but only if he could take photos of Dave as well.

Eridan stood up, nudging Dave to stand as well. "Come on. High tide turns in twenty minutes. Let's go jump off a waterfall."

2016-04-18 07:52:48

●

"Of course, I did say everyone." He was just usually the one taking the pictures.

He nodded, throwing the towel to the side, and started heading there with the three of them after fetching his camera.

2016-04-18 07:54:55

🌀

Eridan dove over the side, the rope slung over his shoulder. He had a small knife strapped to his thigh, same as last time. Sollux opted for climbing down into the water and waiting for Dave to get in so he had someone to hold onto. "Ith it really dark in there?" He asked Eridan quietly. He shook his head, "not really. Dave's light has a camera, and I can give off pretty good light if I need to."

2016-04-18 07:57:56

●

Dave went into the water after Sollux, and reached for his hand, squeezing it. He found it kinda endearing that he needed to hold on to something to swim

2016-04-18 08:33:20

🌀

Sollux tried to scowl, but water still wasn't his strong point. Plus, if he went down, at least he can drag Dave with him. Which means Eridan will save Dave and then save Sollux by default. Perfect.

Eridan leads the way back to shore and then through the trees and on the winding sand trail to the waterfall and the cave it falls in.

2016-04-18 08:34:52

●

Dave ends up holding Sollux's hand as they walk, both for the sake of annoying him and because he is feeling cuddly.

They start hearing the waterfall after 15 minutes walking, and Dave started smirking.
