"Hey boys!" Lorelai called to them, announcing her presence. Which caused both the boys to smile broadly. "Remember me?"
"Barely!" Brody called from up in the air with a laugh. "What did you say your name was again? Dori, Cori?" He had a huge smile on his face, seeing Lorelai always made him happy and put him in a good mood. He had been sad when Ethan had told him Lorelai would be coming in later. Of course he tried to understand the pain thing as best he could - which was very little.
Ethan took Lorelai's hand and lifted himself up. When she asked if he was okay, Ethan to scowled. He shook his head and gave her a look.
"No Lori. Are you okay?" It was a pretty messed up situation. That Ethan couldn't really feel pain despite what he put his body through on a daily basis in rehearsals, and yet Lorelai had to deal with so much pain for doing nothing at all. Ethan felt like it fell to him most the time to make sure she was okay. Since Brody was too spacey and unreliable. He did worry about one day forgetting to watch out for her.
"I hope she trips in her stupidly high heels," Lorelai said as Lola walked off, and Ethan held back a slight chuckle.
Then he leaned into Lorelai and said just for her,
"And messes up that face of hers. Then we'd be rid of her forever."Then Lorelai called up to Brody. Brody dropped down to grab Lorelai's arms,
"Of course m'lady," He said with a laugh. Then he threw her up into the air. Ethan jumped in and they went through the same routine they'd be doing for while. They were the acrobats and they belonged in the air. Except of course for Lorelai who seemed as though she also belonged in the water.
Everything was going fine until Aubrey entered the main tent with a plate full of sandwiches. Brody's eyes immediately went to the food and he felt his stomach growl. Being easily distracted, he was focused on the food and almost didn't grab Ethan's hand again.
"Focus." Ethan said angrily with a growl and glare.
Brody frowned, but he nodded in understanding as he jumped up and swung over to the swing on the other side of the tent. Though the moment Brody grabbed the swing opposite he completely forgot the next move in their routine. He was so busy trying to remember it that when he noticed Lorelai flying towards him it was too late for him to catch her.
Ethan noticed though. He swung across and grabbed Lorelai with one hand, the other hand grabbing another swing, stopping them both from crashing into the ground.
"Brody what the hell!" Ethan yelled immediately up at Brody. He had been a little mad before when Brody had dropped him, but now he was furious.
"She could have been seriously hurt!"Brody just looked at Lorelai with a pale white face.
"Lori... I..." Brody was in complete shock, he looked down at his hands and said,
"I just... forgot..." Then he shook his head,
"Lori I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to," Brody pleaded with Lori not to be mad him, he couldn't bare it if she blamed him. Though he also couldn't shake off the weird feeling he got looking at Lorelai in Ethan's arms.
