Max smiled to himself, acutely aware of her thumb moving on his thigh, glad that the attractive young greenrider had yet to spur any of his advances. "From my understanding, more of the Weyr rooms were empty like this when the riders first arrived here, back when they called it Burimyu. Since the earthquake and the Weyr merger, there are only a few passages left unused like this... sometimes I hope we don't get more people, and end up losing this part of the Weyr's history to the advancement of the modern day..."
Sighing a bit after Kalina's next words, Max grinned and replied, "Yeah, it's nice to come down here sometimes, take a break from my patrol and just sit here quietly with Maximisk. Look around with Maximisk's vision, try to imagine what it looked like when this place was being made, what strange creatures or tools they used to carve it out. What people lived here before us, what they did, how they lived their day-to-day lives..."
As he spoke, he leaned back onto the furs, putting his arms behind his head and looking up at the ceiling as he added, laughing, "Your dragon and I would not see eye-to-eye, then... and not just due to my efficient height, either." Chuckling, he explained, "Back in my days as a miner in Hyphen, they called me 'Tunnelsnake', because I was small enough to slip into new caves and openings that were discovered with a much smaller hole being dug out than a full-sized miner. Helped me get to some of the best ore first... and save a lot of miners who got injured or caught in cave-ins. It's what made me go for Rescue Squad when I joined Selenitas."
Suddenly, Kalina was on top of him, hugging him and saying how much she appreciated him taking her down here... as well as implying she would like to do it again in the future. Max's smile widened, enjoying the feel of the young woman's body against his, when suddenly she was laughing and trying to tickle him. Laughing freely, Max began to wrestle with Kalina, his smaller size offset by his greater musculature and stronger grip, until finally he was on top of Kalina, straddling her stomach, holding her hands down next to her head by her wrists, the short length of his arms forcing his face to be only centimeters from her own. He looked into the greenrider's eyes, grinning widely as he attempted to catch his breath from the impromptu wrestling match, not speaking, simply letting the situation sink in.
