[ circles around to face her boys when they get inside of the park, taking out her handy dandy map to look over it. doesn't take too long in deciding what to do first; hands go on her hips, giving them a look as if she's leading an army going to war, though the smile on her face adds something more pleasant onto the double-meaning. ]

So I was thinking that we should split up first and meet up for lunch later. It's pretty crowded today. Going in twos is the best option, since we don't want to lose any short people.

[ her smile brightens slightly, holding his hand back gently. doesn't say anything more, allowing her eyes to speak to him instead. ]

[ the smile that touches his lips seems to take root as he slowly begins to lead, though still only a step in front of her as they continue walking in their relaxed, languid pace. ]

[ continues the comfortable silence for a while, her thoughts drifting elsewhere. her curiosity gets the best of her, however, silently inquiring more than just the words she speaks. ]

Are you enjoying yourself so far?

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ pauses in thought, hand shifting in their shared grip a little, opting for a more comfortable arrangement grip. ]

It hasn't be unpleasant.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ closes her eyes, stepping a bit closer to lean the side of her face on his shoulder, the action light, a promise that it would only last a few seconds at best. ]

I'm glad, then.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

And yourself?

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ chuckles quietly, lifting her head back up again. ]

Mmm about the same, though I have photos.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[ with her free hand she reaches into her purse, fishing around for the camera. blinks a few times, lips twitching upward further in amusement. ]

Ah, it seems our eldest has taken the camera with him.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ mock-pouts, shifting the purse back on her shoulder. ]

This stinks~ I wanted a photo of us together.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ chuckles, hand squeezing hers as he leads them along. ]

We will manage, I'm sure.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose we will.

[ follows obediently, not taking her eyes off the unknown path ahead this time. ]

[ is simply wandering, enjoying the sights. it isn't long, however, until they come across a small area with a sparse population; gives one glance over at brianna to silently inform her of his intentions -- does not need words for things like this; they never did -- & picks a bench underneath a shade to sit down. ]

[ isn't surprised at their destination, eventually taking a seat next to him quietly. lets out a pleased sigh and leans on him lightly, simply enjoying the closeness for now. ]

[ slips off his sunglasses, folding & resting them in a hand that is resting on his lap. shifts closer, leaning his head on hers, eyes slipping closed as he breathes out quietly. ]

[ slips her fingers from their previous position to gently trace the curves and edges along albert's hand, the touch featherlight yet firm within the action. casts her eyes down to watch her own movements. suddenly finds something privately amusing, chuckling to herself within the thought; decides to voice it. ]

You know, I thought I'd be running around the park all day acting like a kid.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ watches the movement as well, eyes half-lidded with exhaustion or contentment -- perhaps both. ]

Do you still wish to?

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

Perhaps later. [ uses her index finger to outline his wrist, allowing her hand to drop down on top of his after. ] But I think I'm happier like this.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ & now the eyes slip closed entirely though his voice remains light & amused. ]

Ah. I'm glad. Don't believe I have the energy to run.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ shuts her eyes as well, sighing deeply & somewhat dramatically, though she sounds humored by her own words. ]

Neither do I. Is this a sign of old age, I wonder.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. [ sounds a bit nonchalant as he presses his face into her hair, chuckling against her scalp. ]

Or perhaps not.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

Mmm I hope not.

[ shifts her hand again to hold his, threading her fingers between the crevices that seem to make them fit perfectly together. ]

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ kisses her head, the touch gentle. his next words come out whispered, almost like a promise. ]

You will have all the years you need, princess.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ allows a softer smile to touch her lips, finally feeling the pleasent lull of relaxation overtake her body. ]

Then I hope my years match yours.
