A Wild Ride It probably would not appear to be the brightest of ideas to onlookers, and Pagan was sure to rake him over the coals for it but… if he was honest with himself he had always wondered how well it would ride. In hindsight, later on after it was all done, he could look back and nod mutely while Pagan read him the riot act over irresponsible behaviour that could break anything from a leg to his neck. He caught a fleeting glimpse of Maxwell's astounded face, blue/violet eyes wide in disbelief as the distance between them shifted dramatically. He had planned it carefully for all it must look like a reckless action on his part, but he had thought it through and he was sure of his own athletic ability. At a full run he had grasped the railing and vaulted over the edge, dropping from the landing above at just the right angle to land him on the staircase just as it came off the grand curve. Precious seconds gained, nor was he finished yet. Stage one down, the jump made and safely landed, and now one long stride across the staircase, throw a leg over the banister railing and push off… He heard Maxwell's incredulous shout as he whizzed down the curving arc of the grand staircase, blessing the maids for their exemplary housekeeping and superior polish. If he got his timing right he had about five seconds before he had to put the brakes on… or never have to worry about siring a child ever again. ———————————— Duo acknowledged Chang's panted harsh whisper over the com line and continued on, putting every ounce of energy into catching that long legged speed demon. //Damn the man can run!// The hallway would open out onto the first floor landing of the grand staircase and then they would have to slow their breakneck speed or risk serious injury to limb and potentially life. There was no way he was going to be reckless enough to take that staircase at a run. It was designed for showy ceremony, not for safety and there was a reason why no one was supposed to run in the halls and always a walking pace on the stairs. He had already started to slow himself down when he stared in disbelief as Milliardo took a leap over the highly polished safety railing and dropped from sight. Duo almost fell over his jaw, stumbling a step or two before throwing himself to lean over the railing… just in time to watch the King of Sanc straddle the banister and vanish from sight at an astonishing speed. "Shit! No fucking fair!" Two could play at that game. Duo bounced over the railing, landed safely on the stairs and threw a leg over the banister, pushing off for a wild express ride. "Yeeehaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The ride was great and he whooped in delight, thankful he wasn't wearing leather and, glancing over his shoulder, he was surprised to pass Milliardo who was watching him with wide eyes and shouting something at him. "...orb! Slow down! //Huh?// Milliardo, was waving frantically at him as he sailed past and he risked rising a little to look over his shoulder… just as the staircase ended and the ornate orb that crowned the banister passed his feet. ——————— Milliardo took the last few steps and knelt at the side of the groaning young man sprawled at the foot of the staircase. Duo was curled around himself, legs tight into his abdomen and hands clutched protectively between them. Blue eyes sparked with unholy temptation. No doubt Duo would make him pay later but… hell, there was no way he could resist. "Ouch?"
