true trans squid rebel

“Sure, it’s safe! Definitely no less dangerous than a turf match, where you’re just as liable to be pushed off something.” Plus they had no bones to break, so the worst that could probably happen would be a couple bruises. “It’s a resort, I’d certainly hope they weren’t letting guests get hurt…”

They fortunately make it to the parking lot safely. Once he’s pulled in and parked, Emperor pauses to admire the view from so far up on the mountain, pulling Metry in and kissing her forehead briefly. “Shall we head in?”

The resort doors open into a massive lobby. There’s a huge circular firepit in the center, surrounded mostly by Inklings who didn’t fare well in such cold weather, and he can spot various other species sitting on the cushy couches or checking their equipment. He starts to head for the desk so they can rent some gear when a paper cup of hot chocolate comes sailing through the air towards him. His lightning turf reflexes take over, but they’re not quite quick enough to totally prevent him from being splashed with hot, sugary liquid.

Metry leans into the kiss with a quiet giggle, taking a quick moment to look at the view herself. She’s not used to seeing so much of the landscape at once, and it’s almost dizzying, but she’s sure she’ll get used to it pretty quickly. “Of course!” She smiles, gently taking hold of his hand. “Lead the way, Empy.”

She was barely outside of the car for a minute, yet she still feels relieved to be stepping into a warm lobby. Inklings really aren’t built for cold, and she’s not surprised that most of the people around the fire are Inklings. Heck, she’s tempted to check out the fire at some point too, if only because it would be a cozy place to spend time with Emperor. 

Her thought process is oh-so-rudely interrupted when the hot chocolate cup collides with Emperor. “Empy!” She yelps, running over to him to make sure he wasn’t burned. Fresh cocoa was sometimes hot enough that that could be a danger, after all.

“Who knows, perhaps he’ll officially be your younger brother one day, and then you’ll know for certain.” Someday, far in the future… As well as their relationship was going, it was much too early to be fantasizing about such things now. Emperor can’t help but sound a little wistful. “If you do fly off, there’s really not much you can do but try and roll and not get hit by anybody else who’s tubing. Some of the fun is in the risk, I feel. Just like with Grizzco, or with illegal battles.”

As he rounds the next corner, the resort comes into view, scenic windows glinting in the winter sunlight. It looks cold on the outside, all steel and crystal, but Emperor knew the inside was cozy. “Oh, of course, don’t tempt me though, I don’t want to start speeding.”

She laughs a bit, unable to stop a grin from spreading across her features. It’s true that it’s much too early for Metry to be fantasizing about marriage, but that wasn’t going to stop her anytime soon. It’s hard for her to imagine her relationship with Emperor not continuing to get closer and closer over time. “Perhaps! Well, uh...I’ll keep that in mind. I feel like me getting run over by a snow tuber might put a bit of a damper on this trip. And a bit of a damper on like, my body. I usually don’t do anything that risky, but...this should be a safe environment, right?”
