[ This actually manages to get him to sit up. A "jog" to Thor is a lot different than a jog to a normal person, but Steve is one of the few that can keep up. ]

Do I exercise.

[ He repeats it under his breath with a laugh, grabbing his clothes and getting dressed. ]

I only hope you can keep pace.

[isntaboutme]

[It will be an interesting challenge, to see if he can out run a so called 'God'.]

I'll do my best. [And then some. Steve waits for Thor to finish getting dressed. Well, he might be understandably distracted watching the other man button his trousers.... right, jogging. That's what they're doing next.]

[thorsdaeg]

[ Thor maaaaaay (or may not) be dressing more slowly than usual, glancing over at Steve as he does so. Once he's dressed (or dressed enough, fuck you shirt), he takes off at a run without notice.

His strides are long and powerful, propelling him at an inhuman speed. ]

[isntaboutme]

[Steve grins and takes off in chase of Thor. Inhuman speeds are their common language, it seems.

For the first time in years, he has the opportunity to stretch his legs and push himself.

And yet, this is probably the most fun he's had in forever (well, not to slight the night before, that was fun too)]

[thorsdaeg]

[ Thor laughs as he goes crashing into the surrounding forest, alternating between dodging trees and looking back to see how Steve's doing.

He's quite pleased, and a little surprised, to see him keeping up. There aren't many people on Midgard that can give him a (literal) run for his money. ]

[isntaboutme]

[Every time that Thor comes close to nearly running into a tree, Steve flinches. He has to remind himself that it'd probably be worse for the tree, in the event of a collision.

And besides, Captain America is going to catch his Thunderer.]

[thorsdaeg]

[ Thor finally comes to a halt when the forest runs out, and he hits the aforementioned lake. He doesn't bother to slow down, however, just continues running and dives headlong into the water.

He swims about halfway out, climbing out onto a small island of rocks. ]

[isntaboutme]

[He'd just about had him too! When the lake brought Steve to a sudden stop.

Pacing at the edge of the water, he watches Thor swim out to the little island.]

Hey!

[He waves from the shore.] ...come back here. [The last part isn't shouted so much as muttered to himself. Steve eyes the water with a mix of frustration and resignation. Wading in up to his knees before he stops again.]

[thorsdaeg]

[ There's a smug grin on his face from where he sits. ]

Have you encountered a problem?

[isntaboutme]

It's not a problem. [Steve frowns a little more, taking a dive into the water and starting towards the island. Disorientation hits him while he's under though. He fights the urge to panic and swallow, surfacing by luck.

Once he can see his goal again, he swims quickly to the island and catches his breath once he gets to the small shore.]

[thorsdaeg]

[ Thor looks amused at first, but it quickly turns to concern, and he's about to dive in and assist before Steve makes it to the island. He frowns, helping him out of the water and clearing his throat awkwardly. ]

I apologize.

[ Way to ruin an otherwise good morning. ]

[isntaboutme]

..don't be. [Steve coughs a little and brushes his wet hair back reflexively.]

It's not- I'm not a bad swimmer. Really. [He looks down at the ground, not quite sure he can find the right words to explain.]

Just that every time I go under water now- it reminds me of the crash and.. [becoming a frozen captain america.]

[thorsdaeg]

[ Well that makes him feel... more guilty. He gives Steve what is meant to be a sympathetic pat on the back, to help with the coughing and all.

He hesitates for a moment before putting an arm carefully around him, offering comfort best he can. He's not all that good at it, but it's the thought that counts. ]

[isntaboutme]

[Steve smiles to show he's grateful, it's not even a big deal, really. Thor's arm is nice though, and heaven help him, Steve is finding out that he's far more of a cuddle-er than he expected himself to be. He can't exactly tuck to fit anywhere, but if he turns and leans back against Thor, that actually seems to work well.]

I was avoiding it, I guess that's cowardly of me. [But it's said in a tone that makes it clear Steve indents to confront the situation head on now.] ..we can go swimming later, if you want.
