Being out here shouldn't feel like just takin' a nature walk, but then, he felt safe. Jim's presence close by and the relative quiet of the surroundings just made it easy to feel like everything was just fine. Especially when Jim's hand in his had the sweetest of smiles pulling at the corners of his lips.

Jim's words broke through his thoughts and drew his eyes to the other man. For a moment, he felt that rising 'sappy' feelin' that made him want to say yeah, sure it was beautiful, but he knew he just liked seeing Jim out and lively like this. So he took a moment to look around the landscape again and truly start fixating on the 'beauty' of it and not just the fascination that came with the state of decay and emptiness.

"Yeah... it is." It had a strangely ethereal charm to everything. The world was just, beautiful... like it tried to clean up the mess and start over. "I like the sound of what you're talkin' about. Wanna show me?" Squeezing his hand gently, he pulled the other man just a little.

Maybe he was eager to see what Jim described, but truthfully, he knew it was more that he liked this. Being with Jim just the two of them hand in hand. So yeah, he was a little excited. And when he glanced at Jim, he couldn't help the smile before chuckling. "Happily followin' you, sweetheart."
