A few years and he could indeed move wherever he wanted to. “Yeah,” he replied, nodding. He really didn’t know what he’d do though. Where he’d go was one thing, but what he would do when he was there, who he would spend his time with, and all of those big LIFE questions remained unasked and unanswered. As much as he liked the sound of the freedom it had, he’d miss having the comfort of a family home - especially since he hadn’t had it for very long.
BUT, Zeke shook the thoughts from his mind. NOW was not the time to be contemplating his future. In addition to that, it surprised him how quickly Hady replied, confirming that her dad would be okay with it. If she said so. “Cool.” So it was pretty much settled then? IF she DID move to London?
He still didn’t understand. He was sure he’d be able to identify his House mates socks in a lineup, and even those he hadn’t spoken to he felt he knew quite well simply through observation - except for perhaps this years new recruits, but there was still time to get to know them. “Huh,” he mused out loud. And then, it was interestingly awkward??? “Awkward how? You’re not giving me much to go on,” he questioned. Unless….
….
Unless it was awkward in another way?
Perhaps there was a reason why she didn’t elaborate to begin with.
Nevermind. Zeke quickly moved on, swinging further down the bar, just a bit.
It was good to see she was still right behind him, she hadn’t fallen, and neither had he…. yet.
He moved all the way down until his bar disappeared into one of the columns holding them up. They needed to get on another line. Swinging too and fro, Zeke built up momentum enough to allow himself to hook a let over the bar in front of him, doing the same with the other leg before letting go. Now HE was hanging upside down. He was close enough to the pillar bit, that he could reach around it with his arms and managed to get a one-handed hold on the next bar.
Here went nothing.
His legs sliding off from the first bar, Zeke did his best to pull himself up onto the other, but didn’t quite manage. The force of the drop of his legs had him ALMOST slipping off the bar altogether, but his fingers (aching) remained clinging to it for dear life. “Uuurggghh…” he moaned as he lunged upward to grab hold with both hands now. He was secure, and Hady was on the other bar.
…
“Need a hand? Maybe you should climb onto the top of the pillar and come across that way.” Because he only JUST thought of that NOW.
