"Most likely what it is called. Maybe no bigger than a rabbit at most. I don't think a mouse would be satisfying enough" Patrick responded. "Did he just drink from the same bottle as me? If I'm really immature I would see this as an indirect" he thought blushing a little after watching Saeki for a moment. He thought they were slowly to the halfway point and briefly looked to which direction the sun is to figure out what time in the afternoon it is. Straight up heat is one thing and humility was another thing and that was something he could handle better based on past experiences. He stopped and shifted his attention fully to his boyfriend out of concern about the other's well-being based on what he said. Took out the first aid kit from his bag after getting down on one knee beside him. "How bad is the pain?" he asked when he noticed how the other male was resting it and the wincing during the brushing off. "Okay, but first we should treat your injuries. You might have sprained your wrist and scrape your knee" he insisted. "No, but I don't think they would want to lure in grave robbers and other bad types of tourist to this island. This jungle is pretty much uncharted on the map" he said as he opened up the kit to get out bandages. "Also these relics could have that kind of curse that you shouldn't leave this land with them" he warns him.

The young man hadn't really thought twice about drinking from the same bottle. Of course it could partly be because he no longer needed to hide his feelings towards Patrick. It actually felt oddly satisfying to do so. "It's just water straight from the tap." he said with a slight chuckle. There had been no special treatment to the water in Lumiere to his knowledge. But if Patrick liked it better then he was glad. After his carelessness had brought him to a fall however, Saeki cursed himself for not paying more attention to the ground. He had been to distracted looking around them. Still he did find this oddity thanks to it. He didn't really realize the pain until his boyfriend asked about it. "It's alright. It's not the first time it gets a hit." he said hiding the actual level of the pain not wanting to concern Patrick to much.
Still just lifting it up and moving his fingers a little bit he couldn't help but flinch a little and clenched his teeth. If his knee was scraped it was the least on his mind. Still he didn't allow himself to fully admit to it. As a way of distraction, and a welcome one at that, Saeki listened to what the other said next about the statue and nodded a bit. It made sense. "So perhaps an attempt to ward people of with fear." he said and smiled a bit, better than he felt at the moment. The words about a curse were worrying though and Saeki put his good hand in his pocket taking out the small item they found earlier and looking at it before looking back at the statue. Perhaps in it's golden age the statue would have been intimidating, but the faded colors and overgrowth of vines did a lot to diminish it's dominance.
Still it might be a good idea indeed to leave the item here once they left, whether they found what it belonged to or not. "We best leave it behind then once we go home." he agreed, which would indicate he wasn't ready to go home just yet and pocketed the item once more. When Saeki looked back at his boyfriend he first truly noticed how close they were and he blushed slightly as his heart fluttered. He could feel his heartbeat rise with how close they were but at least this time he didn't feel the need to hide his attraction. They were together now after all. The young man smiled gently and raised his hand before after only a slight hesitation he caressed Patrick's cheek. He still wasn't ready to just plunge into it since he was still completely inexperienced but he felt like if it was Patrick, then he would have complete faith.
The young man could hardly believe himself with what he did. In Japan it would be seen as highly inappropriate while outside. But this wasn't Japan and Saeki just felt like he wanted to. "I'm sorry for worrying you. I must seem like such an airhead." he joked at his own expense, though his smile spoke more than a thousand words. He was glad they now admitted their feelings and that they could be this close now. Once his wrist would get bandaged though he would clearly be in pain though he never as much as uttered another sound of pain. Perhaps as a result from his years of training. Even if not for the discipline, his wrist had been caught numerous times already by the wooden stick used for training whenever he had been out of line for the passes his father made during their sparring. Not out of malice of course. It was just how the man was once he was in his teacher mode.

"Guess you have great pipes then" Patrick said jokingly. From what he knows the tap taste was determined from several factors like freshness, source, with or without filter, pipes or treatment. He was very pleased that some of his fantasies were coming true so soon. "Hmm, sounds like a very sturdy wrist and robust skin along with very good pain tolerance" he complimented him. His mind went straight to the bedroom about the last part with the lack of confidence he has in switching roles when the time comes. Wasn't the time to be distracted with such perverted and put them aside for now. "I wouldn't really be looking to take chances in the world of magic just about anything is possible and cursed humans do exist. Usually the older it looks the wary you should be of it in stories'' he said being cautious about the statue. "Affirmative" he said relieved of the agreement. He wouldn't want the hike to end yet especially when he gets to experience surprises like being caressed on the cheek. Hard for him to get his giddy smiling and blushing under control when his boyfriend spoke again. ''It's natural to worry about your partner especially when they hurt. Besides this is your first being in place so non-fatal mistakes are certainly allowed" he reassures him. "I do have this selfish desire to be needed so in a way I should be thanking you for being a little careless" he admitted while he bandaged the other's wrist as tightly as possible. "I do have some pain-killers. Not the strong kinds, but enough to lessen the levels of pain you may be feeling" he offered to Saeki. "If we get up high maybe we spot something new" he suggested as he was putting the remaining bandages back into the kit. Climbing trees wasn't an option with the other's injury, but he was considering using earth manipulation to get up above the treetops.

Saeki was surprised by his boyfriends comment about his skin and pain tolerance. He wondered slightly what his skin had to do with it, though he blushed slightly more at the pain tolerance part. If only because he realized what it might mean if one would look further ahead. It was no secret that the first few times hurt and if you believed some that had already been intimate before it could even hurt a lot. Saeki was glad he would at least be able to handle that when that time would come, nonetheless the thought about it spread a deep red over his cheeks. Looking at Patrick next to him though, the young man could feel most of that worry fade away. 'Is that what dad meant with real love? Though I am sure he didn't mean with another male.' he thought to himself as he watched his boyfriend bandage his wrist.
Of course they were still in the very beginnings of their relationship but Saeki sure felt it like something solid. And it was clear with how they reacted that Patrick felt the same way. The young man felt like he was really lucky to have been randomly selected not once, but twice to date with Patrick. Saeki also felt great adoration with how professionally his boyfriend bandaged his wrist. The pain lowered a bit after a few of the tight supporting layers and the young man thought it looked like a doctor was doing it. It had to be the other's experience with hikes like this. Saeki had smiled a bit when Patrick reacted like that to his touch which only strengthened his feeling of security with the male. "I'm glad it isn't a bother." he replied honestly about the tumble he had made.
"You're are very good at this." he said as he looked at Patrick's face and he did mean the way they increased Saeki's heart rate as well and he chuckled a bit at their comment about being needed. "I'm glad to be of service." he said though his calm smile lingered. Once Patrick was done, Saeki re-positioned himself a bit and sat near Patrick while they put the bandages away and listened to their offer and idea. Saeki shook his head a bit at the offer. "Let's safe them for when they are really needed. Your bandaging helps a lot already." he complimented the other as he looked at his bandaged wrist before up at the canopy above them. "That is a good idea, but how will we get up there?" he asked as he curiously milled through some ideas as to how he might still be able to climb a tree currently. There probably were ways to do it, but he didn't really know how.

Patrick smiles at the praise, "Yeah, glad these built up skills didn't go to waste and getting to see your face afterwards is very pleasing" he said blushing lightly. He spent a lot of hours practicing on clay dolls for first aid crash courses in college and when he feels he needs to practice so he isn't rusty. He perceived bandaging as art that aids the wounds in healing. He wholeheartedly appreciated the other's response to him revealing his secret desire to him. This amount of physical closeness without interruption from an outside force was very blissful for as long as it lasted. "Alright" he said, accepting the decline to the pain meds. "Good to hear. I want your condition to be as comfortable as possible as you recover" he said softly. He closed the kit and returned it back to his bag then patted his damp forehead with a towel then offered one to Saeki. "That's something I can do about, partner" he said grinning. "Sit back and I will handle the rest" he instructed as the ground around them by a five foot radius shifted. With just one hand and all focus on earth manipulation, he moved the ground beneath upward to the treetops with pillars as support. The foundation would be that a lookout tower has without the ladder or steps to get to the top where they are at currently. Took quite a bit of energy to get this set up in a matter of a couple of minutes. He presumed he could recover after a break of just sitting and looking around. "You're free to move around, but I wouldn't go near the edge if I was you" he tells them. "Its surprising we haven't encountered quicksand during this hiking trip" he thought to himself, counting themselves lucky for that.

"That was good insight to be practicing this. I'm afraid my father skipped this education." Saeki said with a slight laugh. Not that it really mattered much since they had a local first aid person at the inn. But they didn't teach so this was one part of education that the young man had missed out on. Thankfully his boyfriend hadn't! Once they were done the pain was going down quite a bit which was why Saeki declined pain killers this round. Who knew what else they might need them for in this trip. When the distance between them got further a bit, the young man actually thought it regretful, but they couldn't really sit around for to long. He learned that much by now already. There were to many predators to watch out for. He hoped they wouldn't meet any anymore because he needed two hands for his katana.
He could fight with one but it was only like a quarter as useful, not to mention the added weakness that his wrist posed. But they might stay as lucky as they had been so far. Their only real 'brush' with danger had been the crocodile and the panther. Saeki watched as Patrick used a towel to dab his forehead and smiled as they realized they really thought of everything. He accepted the offer of one for himself and wiped some sweat from his own face of the humidity here as he pondered how to get up there. When he heard Patrick's comment though he looked at them curiously as they went to work on the earth below them. Saeki was rather surprised when the ground under them first trembled a bit before it went up into the sky. Before he knew it they were looking over the jungle canopy.
"Wow, that was unexpected." he said in amazement before he got up from his seated position and walked a bit to the edge, though he kept a distance like his boyfriend advised and nodded. The least they needed was for either of them to fall now. That was quite a ways down at this moment. Keeping a safe distance from the edge, Saeki looked around them as they could see much further now. There was the occasional monkey swinging about popping above the canopy but other than that there wasn't much of a stand out. That was until the young man looked more to the South. "Doesn't that look like a building over there?" he asked his boyfriend as he pointed at a structure in the distance with his good arm. It wasn't entirely clear, so the young man wished a second opinion about it.

"Not unusual to hear. It's not commonly practiced outside of the medical field. In movies, there is always that one person who is practicing the medical field or in it or taught by someone who is part of the group when exploring places like this" Patrick responded. They usually die early on or one of the main survivors in horror movies. Wasn't a gender thing just passing of knowledge and being serious about it. As an artist and explorer knowing first aid helps in cases of accidents involving the body. "I don't have anything for snake venom so luckily neither of us has been bitten by a venomous snake" he said looking on the bright side of what hasn't happened to them. Wasn't making light of the jungle or trying to trigger a danger, but he thought it was okay to think of the bad things that hadn't happened that could make this hike a whole lot worse. Used the towel from moments ago to wipe off his forehead again when sweat came down to his eyebrows. He was glad his boyfriend didn't seem to be afraid of height."At least going on roller coasters and Ferris wheel at the amusement together as a couple seems all the more possible" he thought, smiling while he watches him. He drapes the used towel around his neck resting on top of his shoulders. Moved to stand up and looked in the direction Saeki was pointing to. "Well....it's not new and it's covered in vines in some places. So maybe it's worth checking out" he commented. "We could go there on foot if you want or could transport us there" he offered two options of getting to the unknown building. He is ready for either options for as long as time is on their side.

Saeki smiled when the other admitted it wasn't uncommon for people not to learn the first aid. That was true. When Patrick spoke of venomous snakes however the young man hoped with all his being they wouldn't run into any of those. He never got bitten by one but he knew they were dangerous. Saeki nodded. "Let's hope it stays that way." he agreed. The young man wasn't sure what he would do if Patrick ended up getting bitten or if he got bitten. Of course Saeki was only human too. When he looked back at his boyfriend he caught them smiling and blushed lightly giving a smile of his own. Though soon after they saw the building and the next question was how to get there. When Patrick came with two options on how to get there after agreeing it might be worth looking into, the young man looked at them surprised as he put the towel over his shoulders as well.
"Transport us there? How?" he asked curiously. Even with his boyfriend's earth manipulation like this platform, the young man didn't see how they could get there without causing quite some damage along the way. Unless Patrick had another type of transport in mind. Of course this could just be because he didn't know the other's powers that long yet! He was definitely curious as to how they planned to do that. "I'm curious enough to go for option two, but will that be alright? Doesn't it cost you a lot of energy to do all this?" he asked slightly concerned. He had no idea how this power worked but it had to get their strength from somewhere and Saeki didn't want to exhaust his boyfriend if they could do it another way that was better for both.

"Doesn't sound like he has become a danger seeker. That's good because people like that are probably hard to date" he thought Patrick after hearing Saeki's response about the snake thing. "Through geo-surfing" he stated. He raised his eyebrows in realization, "Oh, right. Keeps slipping my mind just saying the name isn't enough to explain. Think of it as sand surfing without the wind, but then think of surfing on the ocean waves is closer just without the waves. Like how a leaf glides around on the surface of water, but instead of water it is the solid ground. Like skating and the ground is the wheels" he tries explaining by listing off examples of similes. "Geokinetic Surfing is the full name" he said as he sat back down and took off his shoes and socks. "Perhaps better understood through experience. Won't cost me any energy since I use it almost everyday. Anything covering the ground does get in the way and it's easier with my shoes off. So far I took breaks between the last two abilities" he answered him. Used earth manipulation to clean the dirt off the bottom of his shoes then wrapped the shoes with the towel before putting them in the bag. "How about this, we could go half way with geo surfing then the other half on foot. That way we're cutting the travel time considerably a lot this way" he proposed as he strapped the bag back on. Brimming with a smile all the while and could hardly contain his excitement in using another one of his abilities. Although he didn't want to be thoughtless and worry his boyfriend and this will be a chance to show him how he gets around long distances for free.

Saeki listened with interest to how his boyfriend tried to explain what this Geo-surfing meant. Though the most understandable one for him was the rollerskating with the ground as the wheels. They used that at times at the inn when it was really busy in the restaurant area so the young man was familiar with that. "I think I understand. Rollerblades is what we used to get around the restaurant of the inn on busy days." he said and smiled, though he wasn't sure if he ever mentioned he was the son of a Hot Spring owner. It was truly amazing to see Patrick using these abilities though. The young man knew he would never be capable of such, they also didn't scare him as one might suspect sometimes. Perhaps if it were anyone else but Patrick, but he trusted his boyfriend completely. Feeling pretty much safe just looking at them.
Saeki walked back and closer to Patrick on the platform they made and nodded. "Half/half sounds good. I wouldn't want you to get tired. Just tell me what I need to do." he said and watched with some surprise as they took off their shoes and socks. This wasn't exactly the right environment for bare feet. "Please be careful if you mean to move around without at least shoes protecting your feet." he said slightly worried. Wasn't it his boyfriend who just moments ago mentioned venomous snakes? The young swordsman had to admit he felt a little nervous for Patrick's safety. Still they hadn't been attacked so far, so perhaps the other would be safe enough. Besides if lucky their magic chased them aside a bit.
Saeki stood next to Patrick once they got up from taking their footwear off and waited for them to tell him what he had to do. He was limited in his options right now due to his earlier fall but if need be he would still try his all to protect Patrick. The young man smiled gently as he looked at his boyfriend though and blushed slightly at being so close, especially considering that depending on how this Geo-surfing would go he might just get closer yet. If given instructions he would follow them, while he understood all to well that by doing this he was completely entrusting himself to Patrick. Usually that would bother the young man, who liked to be in self control, but now he just felt trust and confidence in the other's power.

"Ugh, another realization. I haven't done this with someone else in tow. Different from Hiro since I could carry him in my arms or in the carrier" Patrick thought biting his bottom lip a bit. Didn't want to admit any of that out loud thinking that would lower the overall confidence he had started to build up from excitement. He was pleased to hear one of his examples helped in describing what he was getting at about geo surfing. Was reassuring to hear that his proposal was accepted and the other is willing to follow instructions. "No need to worry, Saeki. The only ground I will be touching directly will be this platform then I put on my shoes after the ride. I promise" he reassured him. "When I say 'hang on' you should be ready to cling to me" he said and that was all the instructions he was presently going to give. Further adjustment will be made if need be and that was to be the landing first then work his way back to the makeshift tower. Calculated on how far on midway would be and a safe enough route through the twisting and thick branches of the jungles. "If it was just me I could do this on the fly, but I shouldn't put too much into luck when it comes to my boyfriend's safety and limit the amount of noise so I'm not luring in predators to our anymore than I already have previous times like with the gator" he stopped himself there to concentrate on the task at hand and to avoid discouraging himself from overthinking. Facing the direction of the building with one foot forward and knees slightly bent in a surfer's pose with his arms out away from his sides. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly, "Okay, preparations complete" he said quietly mostly to himself. Landing area at the midpoint softened and small pillars to fling off of, he just needed a moment of rest. Still in his current pose, there was space for the other to cling at because he won't be moving his legs for this surf. "3.....2...1. Hang on!" he exclaimed as the pillars they were on top of leans back then flung them forward to the first smaller pillar just below the treetops a couple of yards away. To repeat the process until the third one where the platform will be sticking the landing on the softened ground he prepared moments ago through earth manipulation.

For a moment it seemed like Patrick was hesitating but any sign of that that Saeki had seen was soon replaced by a more determined pose and the young man smiled and nodded, trusting on his boyfriend to bring them safely to midway. The young man was all the more glad to hear Patrick promise that he wouldn't be touching any dangerous area while bare foot. It made Saeki feel a lot more relieved and relaxed. Upon hearing the instructions he was given Saeki made sure to be close to Patrick so he would be ready the moment they would start to move. He didn't know what was going to happen but he wasn't scared, more excited. That only became more so once the sign came and the young man grabbed a hold of his boyfriend's waist as the started to use their manipulation to move them faster towards the building they had seen.
This close it was impossible for Saeki not to blush as he felt Patrick's strong physics against his own. Never could have imagined how it would feel to be like this, up until now. His heart continued to beat faster as he breathed in the earthly scent that was his boyfriend's own while he was this close. It was hard to explain but it was all feeling very pleasant to the young swordsman. He closed his eyes for a moment as he enjoyed the wind breezing passed them, but not for to long as he also didn't want to miss anything of this trip either. It was tempting to just completely give in to Patrick. Soon enough though they stopped and the platform went back to it's original state as the other had first made it and Saeki smiled, almost reluctant to let go now he was this close, but he would let his boyfriend do his thing. "That was amazing and so fast." he complimented and smiled.

Patrick forced himself to focus on what he was doing because he didn't have the luxury to dwell on the close contact between them. How he wanted to steal a glance in seeing how the younger male looks like with the rushing wind going through his hair. As soon as the ride was over and positioned upright, he looked downward at Saeki, pleased with the closeness since this was pretty close to a hug. "Glad to hear it" he said to the compliment. That was it for him in spending energy since he wants to conserve the rest in getting home. "Wouldn't be any room for error if the platform had been any bigger" he thought in hindsight of the platform's design. Relaxed his arms, "Your hair is in a disarray though" he said laughing a little and with his hands stray strands of hair out of place. "Well, we should start proceeding since we do need to jungle by the sunset. The predators have more of an upper-hand at night if you know what I mean" he said, starting to move away from Saeki to put his shoes back on. "Think this building has a connection to the object that you've discovered?" he asked him. Moving things along to get back on task of why they traveled to this side of the jungle. He presumed it wouldn't be a good move to linger in the spot for too long.

It was almost to bad when the ride was over, but Saeki was glad that Patrick wasn't overexerting himself. While he could he was still enjoying the closeness with his boyfriend. When they commented about his hair and moved some strands aside, Saeki blushed and chuckled a bit. "I guess that can't be avoided with my long hair." he commented laughing a little still. Of course it was inevitable that Patrick moved away eventually to put on his shoes and the young man missed their touch already. He told himself to be some more restrained as he remembered his father's teachings, but somehow he couldn't help it when around this male. Not that it felt like a bad thing, not at all. Saeki smiled as he realized that and decided to just let it flow the way it went.
While Patrick put his shoes back on so he was more protected again, the young swordsman pulled his ponytail loose, putting the band between his lips before he combed his hair a bit with his fingers. It wasn't like he was badly worried about his appearance, but the least he could do was to retie his hair and his hair could get really badly tangled too. Sadly retying wasn't going to happen it seemed. As he needed two hands and it hurt to use his injured one. Accepting the fact he would have to keep his hair loose for now, Saeki put the band around his other wrist so it was out of the way. Once done the young man smiled to Patrick as they stood up again as well and nodded. "You are right. Especially now I can only use one hand. I wouldn't be able to hold them off long either." Saeki admitted, slightly reluctantly.
It wasn't easy to admit his weakness. He refused to give Patrick a false feeling of security though. The young man had rather they would just get out in one piece. Saeki walked closer to Patrick's side again and listened to their question. "Hm, maybe. I am not sure since I am not really known with the tribes on this side of the ocean." he admitted. They would have to wait and see. "Either way I agree we shouldn't stay in the jungle to late. Whether we found it or not. I'd much rather we remain safe and whole." Saeki spoke and smiled at his boyfriend gently. "Let's go while we still can." he then said and showed an eagerness to continue his hike with Patrick for a little bit longer before they would throw the towel in the ring.

Patrick smiled softly to the younger male's reaction to the hair subject and pleased that the other didn't mind him touching his hair. He made sure his shoes are tied properly to avoid them from coming unloose, but not too tight to cause discomfort for himself or causing the shoe strings to break. Would have liked to offer to tie his hair, but he lacked the experience in that since it's been years when he last had long enough hair to tie up. So he didn't want to make him uncomfortable if he tied too tight or too loose. At least he gets to see his boyfriend in a different hairstyle here on out on this hiking trip. He was glad he didn't have to elaborate what he meant and he thought it was pretty brave of him to admit about his recent weakness. "Me neither" he said as he moved along. "True" he commented in response to his boyfriend's show of eagerness. The area in this jungle was more dense and what sunlight did come through was because of the gaps between the leaves of the tall trees. Movements from above belonged to the small monkeys jumping around on the tree branches. Upside is that they were throwing anything at them or alerting predators to their current with a lot of noise.There were stone steps that were steep and some of it covered in thick vines. The old building became more clear in appearance as they got closer. Having a gut feeling the object they found has some sort of importance to this place for it to be so far from it and in a tree of all places to be in.
