"Australian women are hot for two reasons: they have ample justification for wearing as little as possible, and on the whole they're_
fairly open-minded about the consequences. They aren't nearly as prudish about sexual intimacy as some other cultures I could mention."
William
wonders
if that's good or not? 
Matthew
thinks
people generalise too much.
guesses Matthew is right!
Matthew
has
not been with an Australian woman, so cannot guess what would actually make them so different and say they are all like that, eh.
William
is
an Australian woman just now. She puts her hands on her hips, staring *up* at Matthew. 'I think it's a compliment...' kind of.
Matthew
wonders
if that means he ought to tip his hat to her, then. "I guess."
would stare if he did. He stands on her tip toes, trying to gain some height on him. It fails.
"If you think that way, maybe you ought to go be with an equally hot Australian man?"
knows Canadians do not exactly rank in the beauty department.
watches the other before trailing a hand up his chest, 'But I doubt any would be as manly and as cute as you are. It's a talent of yours.'
Matthew
is
close to asking her if that is all she thinks, but won't pick at that. "Thank you." He supposes.
smiles, 'You're also caring and I love you.' Stepping back she tugs at her dress, arms crossing afterwards.
sighs, "I never took you kayaking like I was supposed to."
blinks, 'We could go now?'
also blinks, not expecting that. "If you'd like?"
nods. They'll be in a wet suit with clothes on top she presumes so there is no reason not to. 'I would, very much so.'
also nods, "We can go, then. And you will take me to that glow in the dark place when you are back to normal." It is sad to even mentally
admit, but he feels a smidgen safer with a male Australia.
William
wonders
if she gives off a reversed cougar vibe. She blinks straightening out her dress, 'If you want?
just thinks Australia has a higher tolerance level alcohol wise as a male. "Okay." He blinks at her. He needs to give her those pants back.
really doesn't enjoy the idea of her dress blowing up... even if she has tights on and looks cute in it. 'Lets go then?'
offers his arm to her.
stares at his arm before hesitantly taking it. She's a little... confused, isn't she usually the one doing stuff like that?
always wanted to do it once, even if he is blushing, "You are cute, I will tell you that."
blushes, looking off to the side. 'Thank you,' she manages through an embarrassed frown, hand tightening on his arm. 'You're charming.'
looks down, bringing his free arm to touch one of her hands with his own. "You still feel like Australia to me."
looks over, raising an eyebrow. 'That's because I am Australia.' She looks down at their hands, 'And I'm not as cute a girl as you are.'
gently rubs her hand. "To each his own...?"
blinks, blushing at the affectionate gesture. 'To each his own,' she agrees with a small smile. 'You prefer me as a guy though, right?'
drops his hand, mentally scolding himself. He is not sure when he has picked that up. "You're wonderful that way, but I'll accept you no
matter..."
nods slowly, 'I prefer myself as a guy too.' She rubs small circles on his arm with her now free hand, smiling. 'Will you be resorting to_
magazines?'
blinks, frowning somewhat. "Never when I have you to think of."
flusters , turning a very bright red. The dropping stomach sensation is still the same no matter what body she's in. 'A-ah you think of me?'
nearly falters, stumbling over and having to sadly use the other for support. "W-Who else?"
nearly topples with him. She rights herself though, looking a bit embarrassed. 'I dunno... hot guys... guys in porn?'
tries to keep his focus forward, face burning. "I...I already find you very attractive, Will...really..."
peers at the other, before admitting, 'I think of you too.' She's feeling all hot and flustered now.. 'Where's this Kayaking going down?'
Matthew
is
too embarrassed to think anymore. "Um...somewhere?"
tilts her head, pouting slightly. 'You're not thinking about me now, are you?'
pulls his arm away, "No."
blinks, bouncing back quickly. 'Alrighty.' Really, she rubbed Matt up the wrong way no matter her gender. 'Probably for the best. I couldn't
help with any problems.' She saunters off, looking for a river or something.
Matthew
is
not amused, following after her.
William
is
highly amused however. She glances back briefly before continuing on. She stops at a cross roads, unsure of which way to go.
just grabs her hand and drags her along the rest of the way.
tugs her hand free when they get there, frowning.
blinks, "What's wrong?"
doesn't appreciate being man handled. She shakes it off, 'My hand was starting to hurt is all.'
brings his hands up to her face, placing fingers at the ends of her lips and tries to make her smile.
"I'm sorry, William."
only tries to frown more, although the amusement is apparent in her eyes.
'It's fine.'
pulls his hands back. "If you don't smile...I'll be mad with myself."
hesitates before one side of her mouth lifts and then the other. She laughs softly, 'We can't have that.'
leans over to kiss her forehead, 'cause he has never done it. "Thank you."
isn't sure if she enjoys this height difference. It makes her heart go a mile a minute, 'No p-problem.' She pats his arm, 'So Kayaking?'
nods. "We need to rent equipment."
William
thinks
that's fine. 'Okie dokie.'
waves her along and they go do that, wheee.
William
is
glad the guy behind the counter was nice enough to lend him a t-shirt of his and surf shorts to go over the wet suit. ;o; She tugs her Kayak
to the water edge, padle in the boat.
*paddle
stays by the shore, "You are going to be okay, right?" He's not asking because Australia is now a girl, but because he is simply and
generally concern.
nods, 'I think I'll get it.' She's been reading up online, 'You keep your left hold on the paddle loose so that you can alternate the angle_
with your right.' (( /loves Kayaking ))
nods as well, gently pushing part of his kayak out into the water.
pushes hers out completely, delicately slipping in when she's in the water. The boat wobbles a bit but other than that she's not going to_
capsize any time soon.
gets in with half of it still on shore, only pushing off when he is completely in.
watches him, rocking her Kayak from side to side. This was fun already.
begins to use his paddle in the water, inhaling deeply. It's been a while since he has done this.
((Didn't catch you on msn I think. Gonna crash... night <33 ))
( Niiight. )
watches him for a while before trying to repeat it. She's moving but because she favours her right side she's about to hit back into the_
shore x_x
keeps still, watching her, and weakly calling out, "Is everything alright?"
nods, frowning lightly. She digs her paddle into the river bed to direct her the right way and then to Matthew. 'I'm fine mate.'
begins to paddle away through the water when she gets close.
takes a deep breath before trying again. she succeeds somewhat, staying quiet as she follows the other. Kayaking seemed like a quiet sport.
usually does. That is why he likes canoeing a bit better; it is easier to talk.
doesn't like the idea of depending on someone else working a boat in tandem with you, especially when it can capsize. She paddles along, _
getting into it.
Matthew
thinks
she will get over not talking, then. He just continues to paddle at a moderate pace.
William
is
already over it. Matthew seems annoyed today anyway. She looks around at the view, quietly admiring the view. Canada sure was green...
Matthew
is
not risking looking around. He'd hurt himself.
thought that was one of the main reasons people Kayak'd... that and working their upper arms. Just keep paddling. Just keep paddling._
Paddling. Paddling.
slides along, accidentally letting go of his paddle. Well, damn.
...giggles.
flails a bit to try to grab it. D:
makes her way over and reaches out of the boat for it... only to capsize. Well it's easier to get the paddle this way.
...just flails more.
pushes some hair out of her face and hands Matthew her paddle. She then takes her boat to the shore, since it will be easier to get back in_
and empties it, frowning. She's cold and wet... and Matthew only seems to be able to flail. Her shoulders shake from laughter, realising_
funny this is.
blinks when he gets his paddle and then sighs. He paddles back to the shore, pulling himself out of his kayak and stumbling.
reaches out to keep him upright, stumbling yet somehow achieving this. She ensures he's fine before placing the boat on the water. _
'This is fun.'
Matthew
is
surprised that she is having fun despite being toppled over. He sits down on the shore, "I'm really glad."
William
wonders
if they're stopping. She keeps a foot in her Kayak doesn't stray and sits beside him. 'The views are amazing.'
Matthew
is
meaning to keep his eye on her, really... He nods.
smiles, lying back as one foot dabbles with the water. 'It's a bit like swimming... but the silence isn't forced.'
looks out into the water, slowing brushing hair of his face. He is not sure what to say in contribute of what she is saying.
William
is
quiet for a few moments before she splashes Matthew lightly, a few drops really. 'So you're feeling better?'
blinks away from the view, turning slightly to look at her. "I was feeling bad...?"
nods, 'You seemed to be feeling rough that last couple of days.' He had a hangover and was a girl so it's understandable.
shrugs, turning back to the water. "I'm okay."
stands up, 'Then lets keep going~'
puts his hands up, "You go ahead. I'll keep an eye on you."
climbs into theKayak, 'I'm not a child.' She paddles away, away from the other.
sighs. He didn't mean it like that.
probably acts like a child most of the time. She's currently distracted by a rabbit on the other bank, trying to pet it.
looks down so it doesn't seem like he's treating her as a child.
William
has
adopted a wild Rabbit and has it in her boat. She coos over it, making her back over to Matthew. 'Isn't he adorable?'
blinks up, not seeing what she has right away, "What do you have with you?"
grins, 'A rabbit.'
"One of my rabbits?" Meaning one she found here.
makes an odd face, 'I don't carry Rabbits around in my pocket.' For some reason this disturbs something deep inside of her but... it's so_
cute >W<
Matthew
thinks
he carries a lot of other things in her pocket. "Ah."
William
says
, 'It's yours.'
tilts his head. "Pardon?"
holds up the rabbit against her chest, patting it's head. 'I found it on the other side of the bank.. it's yours.'
blinks, "O-Oh." For a second he thought she was giving it to him. "It's very cute. I didn't know you liked rabbits."
blinks, 'I don't think I do...' She looks at it, awww-ing. 'They're vermin... but it's really cute.' She looks conflicted.
sighs. Those little things are popular to hunt in Ontario. "It is cute. It's amazing you actually caught it."
blinks, 'I just rubbed my fingers and made a small sound and it bounced over...' Australia has always been good with animals. 'Would you_
like it?'
quickly shakes his head. "I don't exactly favour rabbit stew."
hums, 'I used to eat that a lot...' She puts it down on the bank. You can live another day rabbit~
only then grabs at it to pick it up.
watches it squirm. 'What are you doing?'
replies, "I want to keep it--." He then lifts it up slightly, "--her."
makes a small face as it wiggles some more, 'They eat crops.' It's not as cute for some reason now.
stands up with her. "I don't have any of those."
"In my backyard, anyway."
doesn't think it'll stay in his backward. Australia's male half is cussing his female half. 'Well if you're happy,' she mumurs, climbing out
of her Kayak.
keeps hold of the rabbit, backing away to give Will room to get out. "Thank you for this."
blinks. 'It's okay,' she murmurs with a small smile... 'I should of given you a Bilby though...' e_e
tries to give the rabbit a pat, but she slips out of his arms and bounds away.
chases after it, tripping over a tree root.
gaps and goes after Will, trying to help her up. "Are you okay?'
nods, brushing away the blood on her knees. 'I'm fine...' she sniffles, 'I'm sorry about your rabbit.'
also helps, gently wiping it away and trying to help straighten her out. "It's fine. She's a wild rabbit. She's more meant to be out."
sniffles some more, 'I'll give you a bilby... they're cuter anyway.'
shakes his head, "You don't need to do that."
wipes at her eyes with the lent t-shirt. '... I'll show you one atleast.'
gently rubs her head. "Okay."
nods, 'I hate being a girl. They cry too much.'
"I didn't cry as a girl."
shoves Matthew's shoulder, smiling, 'You didn't scrap your knee and lose a rabbit within 30 seconds when you were a girl'
William
is
wearing shorts. 'Neither did I...'
( I didn't see when she changed, so forget that. )
"No one told you to go after her."
huffs, 'You wanted to keep her... I couldn't just let her run away.'
shakes his head. "It's okay. If I want a rabbit, I can go and buy one."
William
thinks
it isn't as special. She nods though in agreement. 'Please don't,' she asks, shivering slightly. It was cold when you were wet.
hurries to where they are renting the equipment to get his hood and bring it to her. "Don't what?"
'Buy a rabbit.' She's kind of depressed they haven't made it that far as she slips the hoody over her head. She's almost lost in it.
helps her with navigating, pulling the hole with the hood past her head. "Why not...?"
,murmurs a small thank you, looking at her feet, 'I don't like rabbits.'
sighs, pulling the hood over her wet head so her ears don't get cold. "That's why I let her go."
blinks, 'Really?' she asks, eyes wide. 'You're so sweet.'
nods. "I already know you don't like rabbits as it is, so, yeah."
shuffles before tackling him with a hug. 'Thank you.'
tries to keep his balance, but falls. "Oof--!"
lands ontop of him, hands behind his head to watch he doesn't hurt it. '...sorry,' she says, looking bashful.
weakly smiles before trying to get up. "It's okay."
clambers off him, hands grasping the bottom of her hoody. 'You don't really kiss me much either.'
*the hoody she's wearing
gets off of the ground. "I'm sorry."
shrugs, looking at the boats. 'We're not very good at Kayaking...'
shakes his head. "Luckily I paid, so don't worry about it."
William
feels
bad... 'We could try again?'
gently rubs her hooded head. "Maybe when you come visit again?" So she isn't so...sensitive?
blushes, 'I'd like that.' And she'll pay next time.
Matthew
thinks
. "How about we go get a cookie and coffee or something?"
nods at that, 'And maybe a shower after that?'
drops his hands. "Yeah."
takes his hand, and brings it up to her face with a small smirk, kissing his knuckles. 'You're so sweet.'
blushes and blinks, pulling his hand back. "I dunno why you say that."
shrugs, letting go of his hand to rub her own together. 'Because it's true.'
Matthew
wishes
he had gloves for her, putting both of his hands over hers.
William
thinks
Matthew would of made a great boyfriend for a girl and tells him this with a teasing smile, peering up at him.
keeps his hands over hers, "Am I not good for a boy?"
nods, 'You're not good for a boy... you're wonderful for a boy.' She grins up at him, meaning every bit of it.
gently rests his burning forehead on top of their hands. He could die, now.
blinks, wondering if she was too cheesy? She tilts her head, 'Are you okay?'
nods before they magically go elsewhere to get coffee and blah.
William
is
considerably more happy in warm clothes as she sips her coffee.
eats a brownie in between sips of coffee, having her kept the hoodie for just in case.
William
is
wondering if her dress is tarty, considering the hoody is longer on her than that is. She takes a bite of her cheesecake, pondering this.
Matthew
thinks
it must be, because the hoodie isn't even all that big. She'd probably have to be super short... But he does not comment on it.
William
is
super short. It hurts to crane her neck up to look at Matthew. 'I miss being taller...' and being able to kiss him whenever she wants.
blinks up from his brownie. "You'll be back to normal soon."
nods, finishing her cheese cake. She supposed but that didn't change the fact that she was shorter.
eats his brownie slowly to savour the taste~.
remembers when the made brownies, blushing slightly. She sips her coffee, looking around the cafe.
*they
appreciates brownies a lot more, now. He takes a sip of his coffee. "Do you want to stay at my house for the night?"
still has Bruce there... She hums in thought. 'If that's okay... I don't want my PM seeing me like this.'
nods. "That's fine. I'll help you when you need it."
smiles, 'I'd do the same for you.'
"That's nice of you."
sips her coffee, nodding.
finishes his brownie with a sigh. "Oh, I made reservations to get into a restaurant..."
blinks, 'Oh, where did you pick?'
replies, "L’Échaudé. It's in Quebec...though you don't need to dress up."
blinks, 'I thought the whole point of it was to have me wear my suit?'
Matthew
says
, "We can..." It's actually a romantic place, shhh.
nods a bit, only then to blurt out, "It's a place a lot of couples go. I don't want you to think that-- that I forget that we are that."
blushes, that was going to make her self concious when she arrived there. 'A-ah.' She smiles down at her coffee, 'Thanks Matthew.'
( no notif ) sighs, with a deep blush, and looks down. "I just don't want to let you down."
reaches over to take his hand in hers, thumb rubbing his knuckles. 'You don't.'
sighs. "I almost took in a rabbit though I knew you didn't like them."
frowns, 'And I asked you not to take one despite knowing you like them.'
"I could keep it in my room or something while you are over."
shakes her head, 'You don't have to do that. I can learn to like one Rabbit.'
Matthew
says
, "I'm not going to get one, so you don't need to learn to."
pulls her hand back, 'Okay.' It doesn't mean she can't get him one.
