Eridan had the fenders tied up an' the ropes set out to be thrown onto the dock pretty quickly. He ducked down at one point to grab a shirt from his cabin and put it on, hiding away his gills and piercing. He readjusted his glasses and upped the speed as he navigated the boat towards the marina channel. Once entered, he slowed the speed right down.

Dave climbed back up the stairs a bit after they entered the marina, backpack swinging from his arm. He didn't say anything, just smiled in content to be back, even if he was liking the trip. Being isolated was definitely a challenge.

🌀

Eridan had a look of concentration on his face, all traces of his smile and relaxed expressions from early gone as he steered Sabriel back to her spot on the docks. He gestured for Dave to come to the wheel. "I'm gonna tie her up, you just need to put into neutral as soon as I jump down onto the pontoon, okay?"

2015-08-02 06:29:02

●

"Alright, go on, promise I can't fuck that up." He nods, rolling up his sleeves as he stands behind the wheel. He waits for Eridan to hop off the boat so that he can put it in neutral, looking over at him.

🌀

Eridan had three sets of lines in his hand as he stood by the gate of the boat. He jumped off, heading instantly to the back to tie that rope loosely, before heading to the bow of the boat to tie the other two ropes onto the cleats on the pontoon on either side of the bow. He headed back to secure the back one once the front two were done properly.

●

"You have your stuff ready to leave?" He asked as he turned on his phone, suddenly being bombed with 30 messages, his phone buzzing nonstop. He rolls his eyes at it. How was it possible to get 30 messages despite people knowing he was away?

Sighing, Dave starts reading through them, but gets bored and eventually deletes them, just sending Rose, Jade, and John a message saying he was back and that they could meet up in a few hours.

"Yeah. I generally keep clothes an' stuff on here, so I don't beed to take any of that. I'll just need to go over everything on the boat, double check everything and take all the food off." He pulled himself back up onboard. He heard the buzzing of Dave's phone as he turned off the engine and rolled his eyes, wondering what his own would be like. He headed inside to start pulling the perishable food out of the fridge and cupboards and putting all the opened foods into a large plastic bin bag. He made sure to switch the switches off on the board, turning the engine key to off as well.

●

He nods a little to himself as he speaks. "Don't mind me if I wait on the pontoon, kinda got sick of the floor always swinging. Surprised I didn't puke." He calls out, laughing a little, and hopping off. Eridan seemed to know what he was doing, and Dave certainly did not, he'd only slow him down.

2015-08-02 06:40:08

🌀

Eridan just waved him off, laughing a bit with him. He cleaned up pretty quickly, turning his phone on and letting it vibrate away on the table top as he went about putting the rubbish into the bin bag. He had two bags up on the cockpit by the time he'd organised his cabin and put what he needed to take from the boat up there. He'd changed into jeans as well by then, his shoes next to his stuff. He finally locked up the boat, putting the key back in his pocket and carrying the stuff onto the pontoon.

2015-08-02 06:47:18

●

When Eridan got there, he snatched one of the rubbish bags from his hand, the hand being the injured one, and started walking to where Eridan's car would be. "Did we really need two trash bags? I mean how much could we have dirtied."

2015-08-02 06:49:06

🌀

He just let him take the bag, falling into step beside him as he flexed his injured hand. "This is just all the food trash really, plus some other trash an' crap that I didn't take last time. Empty boxes an' stuff. Plus these aren't completely full. These bags are a bitch to close when they're completely full, so they're just about three-quarters full an' easier to carry." He stopped by the large industrial bins the marina had, lifting the lid with his bad hand and throwing in the first bag before switching holding hands and gesturing for Dave to do the same.

2015-08-02 06:51:44

●

"Oh so you were a lazy bum before, alright, that explains the second bag." He smirks to himself, throwing the bag in the bin once the opportunity came. "Not gonna lie, feels fucking weird walking here again. Where did you say your car was, again?"

2015-08-02 06:53:28

🌀

"Nah I was tired an' wanting to go home. Different to being lazy." He grinned and nudged him, dropping the lid of the bin and heading into the car park. "It does feel weird. You've got your sealegs now an' you gotta get your landlegs back." He pulled his keys out for his car, unlocking it and opening the back door to throw his bag in.

2015-08-02 06:56:06

●

"I thought it would take much longer for me to get my sea legs." He rose a brow slightly, continuing to walk as well. "But I'll take it, as long as I don't get sick from the floor not being weird. God that would be stupid, forget I ever said that."

He hops in the passenger's seat, the bag by his feet, and he adjusts the seat so that his legs can fit in the space in front of him comfortably.

2015-08-02 06:58:30

🌀

"It generally takes a lot less time to get your sea legs then people expect." He grinned, hopping into the driver's seat and starting the engine. Holding the bin bag, even for the short time that he did, set his injured hand into aching and throbbing again. He didn't mention it to Dave, just rested it on the bottom of the steering wheel as he looked over his shoulder to pull out of the parking space. His phone was still vibrating at him with the message notifications, though they could also be emails from his lecturers.

2015-08-02 07:01:51

●

He shoves his hands in the big pocket of his hoodie, looking around as the started exiting the area. "What's that buzzing sound? Did you bring a vibrator or something with you?"

2015-08-02 07:04:09

🌀

He reached over to shove him lightly with his hand, rolling his eyes. "Funny. S'my phone. I reckon I beat you in the amount of texts received over three days." He pulled out of the marina, indicating to head back to town.

2015-08-02 07:14:37

●

Dave smirks wider, looking smug for a second there when he was shoved. "I got thirty, didn't read two before I deleted them all. by the looks of it you probably got three thousand though. How long has it been buzzing for?"

2015-08-02 07:16:02

🌀

"Since I turned it on when I locked up Sabriel." He rolled his eyes at him, shaking his head before turning his attention back to the road. "Some of them are might be emails though, so that takes away from the texts. Plus I know that out of most of the people going to text me, a few happen to cut up their sentences an' send it through several texts instead of just one." His phone finally stopped vibrating.

2015-08-02 07:17:59

●

"That's the most annoying fucking thing, I swear to god." He did that on pesterchum, sure, but when he was texting he just wrote everything in one go, no matter how long, usually with no punctuation too.

When it stopped buzzing he sighed in relief. "Still remember where I live?" He asked in a teasing tone. "I don't know if you can be boyfriend material if you don't"

2015-08-02 07:20:22

🌀

"It is. It's a nightmare to read, but at least it'll give me something to do if I get bored. Read through their shitty texts." He's probably going to read them all once he got home anyway, because he was a bit finicky when it came to unread messages. He always had to read the damn things, even when he didn't want to.

"Of course I do." He huffed a laugh, sticking his tongue out at him. "I was bitten by a shark not knocked upside the head." Soon he was pulling up outside Dave's apartment building, raising an eyebrow at him.

2015-08-02 07:22:50

●

"Well I suppose it's hard to forget a tall ass building." He shrugs, still smirking, and glancing over at the apartment when he pulled over.

Dave leaned over to place a kiss on the corner of his lips, purposely being a tease, and then pulled back, grabbing his bag. "Alright, I'll show up around dinner time, sounds good?"

2015-08-02 07:24:45

🌀

He reached to flick his ear, rolling his eyes again.

His fins wiggled happily at the kiss and he smiled, looking much like he did back on the boat. "Don't forget, if we're counting this as third date material you better get me some nice ass food." He grinned, teasing. "I'll see you then."

2015-08-02 07:26:07

●

"Chinese take out it is then, better get your games ready." He waved a little as he got out the car, smiling to himself. "Catch you later." With that, he closed the car door, heading upstairs to greet a hopefully not too annoyed or concerned Bro.

2015-08-02 07:27:15

🌀

Eridan laughed and waved, waiting until he was through the front door before he pulled away to drive home.

Once there he took a few seconds before he even got out of his car, preparing himself in case there were any unwanted visitors waiting for him.
