( that little show of confidence gets a genuine laugh, an' gene shakes his head, extricatin' his hands just so's he can hold 'em up in surrender. )
All right, all right. I'm gonna ask more about that pastime later.
( he used to throw himself off buildings too, albeit less dramatically. weren't a standin' structure in conecuh he didn't climb, an' lord o'mighty did he catch hell for it. )
So, you gotta lean into it, yeah? Hand in mine, let me take some of the weight. An' then you hop, an' I toss, an' you land.
[ anytime roy wins that kind of genuine and honest laugh from someone, it warms his frail little burnout heart, and he's beaming back at gene cheekily, close to a snicker. ]
That'll be a fun talk.
[ because roy doesn't intend to lie about it. no one else seems all that protective of the vigilante thing, and jason clearly trusts this guy. besides, if he can't tell his semi-dark secret to the man dancing him around his pal's kitchen, who can he tell it to? ]
Got it, got it. [ roy's nodding as he gets into place, making a show of shaking his feet out and bending his knees in preparation for his great leap. ] Lean into it, let you toss me with your strong manly arms, do a hop and land like I know what I'm doing, right?
[ assuming nothing goes horribly wrong, he'll be doing just that once gene feels confident in tossing him. ]
( #whentwogremlinheartscollide. when he's feelin' like roy's got the hang of what he's sayin', he nods an' then starts the move — takin' the man's weight in one hand, enablin' the hop with the other an' lo an' behold stick the landin' he does.
he laughs, hands on his hips shakin' his head. )
Well, all right. Guess you know what you're on about.
[ roy lands with a little flourish, like a gymnast presenting to a crowd, bowing one direction and then the other. Thank you, invisible audience, for your cheers (in roy's head).
Beaming, roy’s flashing gene a toothy grin and pacing is way back over to take up dance-stance again, shuffling into gene’s space and finding his hands again with those clunky welding gloves he still has on. ]
Only about the jumping part. [ he smirks, tugging at gene’s hands to try to pull him into one of the routines he’s just been taught. ] Promise I’m still stupid about everything else involved.
