He snapped his fingers on both hands to point at her. Totally on one of his highs right now, but who knows how long that would last. Something about Olesya just brought back the kid inside of him. It was nice, to a degree. Though also uncomfortable.
Thoughts of what could have been. Who he could have been.
But it wasn't how things were, and that was his doing. He made his choices and he was content with them. His partner was the ideal one for him. She didn't inspire him to be a better person no, but she understood and saw who he was. Who he really was, not who he could be.
"That's why you love me. Because I'm crazy enough to change things that can't be changed."

"Like your race and gender?"
She laughed, starting back in the direction she'd come, back toward Dragon Territory. If she'd run full tilt for an hour, it'd take her a couple hours to walk back. She wasn't sure if Mathew would follow her, where he was going or what his plans were, or how he'd managed to find her in the first place. But then again, there were a lot of things that she didn't know about him anymore. Things she hadn't gotten the chance to learn.

Mathew turned his back on Olesya and started to moonwalk, which slid the ground under his feet toward her to keep him beside her. His head cocking to the side to look at her as she started to head back home.
"Let me give you a lift."
It was the reason he was out here. He needed her, and rebuilding the bridge would be more than a little useful in the future. She was stubborn, but loyal. And reaffirming that loyalty to him would be invaluable for the world he wanted to create.

Ahh...the power of earth manipulation. How convenient. That would explain how he got here, it was like having a set of wheels literally everywhere. Olesya would be lying if she said she wasn't a little jealous.
"Don't mind if I do."
She approached him, looking to him for instruction. Just how did he want to work this?

He moonwalked a few more steps before reaching over and pulling her close to him. Almost pressing into him as his arms wrapped around her. The ground under their feet speeding up as they zoomed toward Dragon territory. He was keeping the platform of moving stone very small to keep her close to him.
Part of him hoped that David saw this. Because of reasons.

Surprised at the sudden jolt, and instinctively clung to him, pressing bloody hand prints against his back. Once she got used to the movement, she looked up at him, completely on the same page as he was. She knew what he was doing, and a partial reasoning as to why. He enjoyed fucking with her, that much was obvious.
Still, she didn't wan't to fall over and die at this breakneck speed, so she clung tight to him anyway.

"So now I got you as a captive audience."
He leaned in to whisper in hear ear so that she would be able to hear him over the whipping wind. The corners of his lips twisting upward in a devious grin. Time to make things a little interesting for David he felt. If nothing else he can vent to Bastille about it.
"So what's going on with you, Kiyr, and David?"
He held her tighter, expecting a blow, but not wanting her to fall off the platform and hurt herself. Not physically at least.

Olesya gripped the fabric at Mathew's back, gritting her teeth at his words. Did he NEED to bring up David and Kiyr? After the roller coaster she'd had today? Really?! She sighed in an irritated fashion.
"Seriously? You're impossible."
She made an irritated 'harumph,' debating if it would be less painful to just throw herself off the platform and be done with it.
"She loves him. He loves her. I'm the disrupt of what would have been a happily ever after."
She snarled, still a bit amped up on emotion from earlier today. Did they really need to talk about this

"You should move in with us then. Maddie can play with the babies, you can take the spare room. And it will piss David off."
Also because reasons.
Inside he was cackling like a mad man and twirling some long thin mustache. The kind of mustache that he would never ever grow. Because he had self respect.

Olesya lifted a slender white eyebrow, once again looking at him like he'd grown five heads.
"I have a home, and David moved out of town. He couldn't handle it, or something."
She shook her head, not truly understanding why he'd felt the need to just up and leave...again. At least she knew where he was...kind of. She understood the pressure he had been under, because it was now the shit she had to deal with. Someone had to do it.

"Well, it's an open invitation. I'll expect you and your bags to show up before too long. Remember, it's on the edge of Dragon and God territory."
He teased.
It was an open invitation, he did expect her, it probably would piss of David. And he would have to tell Bastille. Did she even know that they kind of almost had a thing before? Probably, she had been his slave then, and a twat. Now she wasn't his slave. But he wouldn't like her as much if she had softened too much.

She shook her head, not giving into his 'open invitation.' She was in a comfortable place, and she didn't want to up and move Maddie unless she needed to. David was pretty much staying in his house in neutral territory. He didn't want anything to do with the Dragons anymore.
She looked up as the territory rose from the horizon, slowly coming closer.

Mathew would be silent unless she had anything more to add for the rest of the trip. The seed was planted, now it would need time to take root and grow. He trusted that David would do something to piss her off and in a rage of fuck everything that seed would take root deeper.
And since Kiyr was one to get lost in her emotions and not be to do anything but let her emotions control her. Well he could count on Kiyr muddying the water between Les and David. Just like he could count on the sun rising the next day.

They traveled in silence for a while. Olesya was both troubled and tired, wanting nothing more than to curl up in bed and sleep for twelve hours. She still clung to him, even though she felt the strength slowly begin to ebb from her body. She would need to get her hands wrapped, and possibly some pain killers if they're managed to find them. She knew that some of the greenhouses were experimenting with herbal remedies with lack of pharmaceuticals.
Huh, makes sense.
The gate loomed up ahead of them.
"Look like it's my stop."

He slowed the platform down to a stop and would let go of her slowly. Taking a step back to show that it was all safe to leave. He got what he wanted from her. At least for this encounter, he would get what he was after later. He could already visualize a chess board with her piece moving into position.
Though whether or not he would choose to sacrifice her piece to capture a more valuable one was still in the air. The only piece he refused to sacrifice now that was in play was his Queen. He'd give Checkmate before that happened.
"Take care of yourself."
