[Fortunately for both of them, he has some pants on under there. Yuri keeps a fairly brisk climbing pace, knowing she can keep up; compared to some of the climbing they've done — say, in and around the Heracles — this is easy peasy (and they don't even have to fight hordes of robots). Still, once he reaches the top, he offers Rita an arm to pull her up.

The roof space isn't expansive, but someone has maintained a small, pleasant-smelling flower garden there. There's a single wooden bench overlooking it, but more impressive is the surrounding view. A good portion of the city is a visible, including the waterfront, where most of the crowds have gathered.]

Well? Do I get a pass?

[negativegate]

[Can't have Rita dying of embarrassment before they make it to the top. She does her best not to look down as they ascend, and while it's nothing they haven't done before, she still draws in a deep breath as she takes his offered arm.

She doesn't pay much attention to the garden for the time being--Rita doesn't mind flowers, not at all--it's just that the view of the city is way better than anything else up there.

No crowds up here, and the only way they could have a better view would be to get a ride from Ba'ul.]

...It's a pass.

[She tears her eyes away from the waterfront to give him a little smile, just so he knows that she definitely approves.]

I should've known you'd have something like this up your sleeve.

[killervigil]

You spend enough time somewhere, you've gotta know the prime spots.

[Only issue is that it's a bit cold and gusty up there, but nothing a little body heat can't counteract. Yuri returns the smile, then motions toward the bench and gives her a playful bow.]

Would milady like a seat?

[negativegate]

[Rita much prefers this kind of atmosphere over a hot and stifling one anyday. But they can still get nice and cozy, too.

...After Rita stops laughing at Yuri.]

Oh--oh man--there's just something wrong about that coming from you!

[She won't complain since it's giving her a great laugh, though!]

[killervigil]

[Yuri puts a hand on his hip and shakes his head a little.]

I had to learn all about courtesy before they made me a knight, you know. Guess I won't be offering you an arm anytime soon…

[The corner of his lip curls up and he gives a fake-seeming shrug of nonchalance.]

'Course the only ones who would enjoy that are dainty, noble ladies, right?

[negativegate]

[Huh. Well, she realizes it makes sense, but it's still weird for her to imagine Yuri actually learning that stuff.

The teasing smile never leaves her face even as she huffs back.]

Sorry I'm not 'dainty' enough for you. You know how us common people are.

[There's a few lights going off over the water, but she pays more attention to Yuri as she gives him a dainty shove towards the seat right behind him.]

[killervigil]

[Yuri backpedals, then falls back onto the bench — though he manages to smoothly stick the landing on his butt with a chuckle and a cheeky grin before resting his hands behind his head. It pays to have great body control, sometimes.

He notices that the lights have started up, so he pats the open space next to him.]

Looks like it's starting. Here, I saved you a spot.

[negativegate]

[What a jerk, looking so smooth like that. But he's a jerk that she likes, and she can't really say that she's surprised.]

Yeah, in a minute.

[Because there's something that looks better than the lights right now. She can't waste an opportunity like this; with Yuri sitting, it's her chance to be the one leaning over him, hands on his shoulders, for a quick little kiss. It's more spontaneous than planned, or else she'd get too embarrassed before she even started.]

[killervigil]

[No complaints from Yuri. Just before Rita leans over, the lights shoot up, framing her body with a fantastical myriad of colors. He rests one hand on her waist and brushes her cheek with the other, her hair tickling the tips of his fingers.

Too short. The thought seems to bypass his brain completely, so after hardly a pause, he lifts his chin for another. It's no longer or deeper than the first. He gives her hair a rub before pulling back slowly and speaking in a low whisper.]

Alright. I guess you can take your time.

[negativegate]

[Her eyes open halfway to just see the lights dancing across his face as they meet for that second kiss. It's almost like watching one of her spells go off, and just as invigorating.]

You're easy to please, huh?

[She lets her face hover just over his, equal parts smug and flustered. Despite her heart racing a bit faster--or maybe because of it--she doesn't feel like quitting just yet.]

[killervigil]

Your fault.

[Yuri's chest is thumping a little, too, but he hardy notices. The lights continue to fly, and he watches them without really watching. A breeze kicks up while Yuri pauses — not entranced by the lights, but enjoying the comfortable intimacy of her closeness.

For round three, he puts a full arm around her back, drawing her onto his lap. His lips linger this time, though still with a light touch, and not from hesitation or restraint. As a swordsman, he's learned the usefulness of nimble, probing strikes versus crude power.

The pace is for Rita to dictate. He's more than content with how things have ended up, so anything else would just feel like a bonus.]

[negativegate]

[That response makes her even more pleased with herself, and she's all too happy to settle right on him.

Raw power might not be necessary for Yuri--or for Rita--but she sure as hell likes using it, so she presses much more firmly, moving her hands up to the sides of his face to push his hair back.

When they're both this into it, she doesn't see any point in beating around the bush. (And, well, she's never a patient type.)]

[killervigil]

[Yuri presses back, matching her verve. He breaks the kiss just long enough to get another look at her — for half a beat, or less — before giving a satisfied exhale and finding her lips again. His free hand slides up to her shoulder, gripping, maybe too tight, but who cares, she's tough, and still the moment seems to pass all too quickly.

When he does pull back again, he smiles, then kisses her neck. The lights, meanwhile, appear to be gearing up for a finale, only to suddenly go dark. Even from their faraway perch, Yuri can hear the crowd give a collective gasp.]

I think the best part must be coming.

[negativegate]

[She can definitely handle a little roughness, and answers in kind by curling a fist in his hair. That fist gives him a light tug when he kisses her neck, and she can't really help the low hums that escape her throat.

He has her so well and truly distracted that she doesn't quite register the atmosphere for a moment.]

...Huh? What was that?

[She almost feels drunk, but at the same time, her focus is sharp and she turns her head to glance over towards the bay.]

[killervigil]

Look.

[Yuri pulls her in closer, shifting a bit so that she can sit and watch comfortably, then he wraps his arm around both of her shoulders, his draping robes acting like a pseudo blanket. He gets in one more kiss before the finale, finding a spot between her necklace and collar bone.

The lights rise with a sudden surge, ever taller and wider. Certain beams begin to weave together, creating unique hues. Once more combine, they shift into a cycle of designs, forming and reforming in seconds while the colors change just as fast. It makes for quite a show; there's no doubting now that the Captain got this one right.]

[negativegate]

[Rita leans in and makes herself perfectly comfortable in his lap. All right, she can admit the light show is...gorgeous, really. Like a contented cat, she breathes in when Yuri gets in that last kiss and curls a hand in his hair.

She can recognize plenty of individual patterns in the lights; they're pretty much simple magic spells, turned into an artsy display.]

Man, some mages have too much time on their hands.

[Even saying that, she's quite happy to sit here and watch the display.]

...I guess the kid actually knew what he was talking about.

[killervigil]

[Yuri gives a low chuckle and rubs her shoulder.]

I'll tell him you liked it.

[Since she probably won't.

The lights all shoot up in a final terrific burst, then fade away into the sky. The crowd below cheers, and there's a smattering of applause before it slowly disperses.]

Yeah. Definitely not bad.
