San Pedro Island, Chile, Tuesday

The inhabitants of the Cape Rouge had a way of dealing with traumatic events, and that way was getting very, very far away from where the traumatic events had happened for a while. But it was winter, and cold, and something about recent events hadn't left Lucifer particularly predisposed to the Bahamas.

No, they needed a place that was equal parts Duke and Octavia, to remind them all of who Octavia and Duke were, specifically.

And so Lucifer had found this island, put down a not inconsiderable amount of money, and told his partners they were leaving.

He had not told them where. But, as the portal opened onto the warm, green island, he didn't think they'd disapprove. "And here we are."

Octavia just sort of... glid fully into the water as soon it was possible.

She gave a happy sigh, not that either of them heard it, probably.
betterthanaplan: (things are looking up)

Duke turned to look at Lucifer, just in time to catch that glide.

“You’re looking good, Tavi,” he said. “Very natural!”
okteiviakom: ([spec pos] flirty in water)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-12-21 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
Octavia really did seem remarkably more comfortable and confident in the water than she had on their last trip to the Bahamas, now. There would probably only be limited 'swimming in a circle around them just in case' this time.

"Not like a shark?"
betterthanaplan: (inuendo?)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-12-21 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're very shark-like now you're in the water," Duke assured her. "Dolphins are better known for their water-entry abilities, that's all."
okteiviakom: ([pos] but I do)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-12-21 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey, no disrespecting sharks," Octavia protested with a snort. "That's uncalled for."
betterthanaplan: (brains are weird)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-12-21 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not disrespect," Duke said. "Just facts." He swam closer to her. "There's nothing disrespectful about knowing something's strengths and weaknesses, is there?"
okteiviakom: ([pos] I already won)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-12-21 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"And right now, I'm better off in the water," Octavia concluded.

Even if she was going to have to go back to shore for sunscreen sooner rather than later.
betterthanaplan: (pleased)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-12-21 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"And now you're a shark," Duke agreed. He gave her a little teeth gnash and a grin, then dove under to catch her playfully by the legs.
okteiviakom: ([pos bel] laughing)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-12-21 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia totally didn't shriek (yes she did) before she tried to swim away from Duke.

But not too much, or with too much effort. Where would the fun have been in that?
betterthanaplan: (grin and bear it)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-12-21 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke surfaced with a laugh. "Shark got sharked?"
okteiviakom: ([pos] I already won)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-12-21 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not, indeed?

Octavia was perfectly happy to stay out of it. In fact, she even took her chance to swim a little further away from the scuffle.
betterthanaplan: (make me blush)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-12-21 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke allowed himself to be dunked, and surfaced again, still laughing.

This was the life. Playing with his partners in the water, naked and warm and happy.

Could they maybe stay here forever?
okteiviakom: ([pos] dumb boys)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-12-21 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's what you get with a finrona," Octavia called, before actually diving under the surface, all the better to escape from them.

(This really was the life.)
betterthanaplan: (pleased)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-12-21 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh no," Duke said, clearly very concerned with her escape. "Whatever shall I do."

Dunk the Devil in return before swimming after her, of course!
okteiviakom: ([pos] lightest you'll ever be)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-12-22 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
Octavia resurfaced a little ways away, but not so far that it wouldn't be pretty easy for Duke to catch her.

It was ridiculous. All of this.
betterthanaplan: (in the water)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-12-22 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke stopped chasing Octavia long enough to turn around, stick his thumbs in his ears with his fingers spread and stick his tongue out.

What? Sometimes it was fun to be all of five years old again!
okteiviakom: ([pos] illuminated)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-12-22 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
And Octavia laughing as she hazarded a look back, and caught the sight of that.

That, too.
