[ from here ]

[ it's a fair point. evan considers, shrugs, and pulls his hand off david's throat to reach up to the more easily-detached buckle. ]

Fair enough.

[ inside the mine entrance is a halfway point. unlikely to be seen by accident, but not exactly hidden. it's not long to undo the first buckle, but the second takes longer. the way it's connected wasn't actually meant to ever separate. over time he's adjusted it, but it still takes longer than he'd like.

the slow grind against him draws a noise, a low, pleased sound. he shifts his grip on david's belt to undo the buckle there as he works the one at his own shoulder. fumbles a little bit, one-handed, and then his own finally comes free and the waders drop halfway, caught where the two of them meet.

there's more scars on display now - old and new, with pieces of metal embedded in places, these ones less like shrapnel and more like they were intentional. it frees up his hand to work david's belt open, or at least start to help. ]

[ evan's not far behind him. he doesn't miss that david comes, but it doesn't slow him down; the consideration's mostly done at this point. his hand stays on david's cock and that in itself might be a little too much. his grip around david's waist gets as tight as it can without causing harm other than a bruise.

it doesn't take too much longer before the roughness comes to a very sudden stop, evan pressed as deep into him as he can get and just staying there, holding them both in place. there's a shudder that runs through him, but aside from that and a hard breath out that might almost be a moan, there's no other real indication that he's finished.

he doesn't move for a bit afterward, getting a grip on himself, but david doesn't try to get away in any hurry. he does eventually loosen his grip, pulling his hand off david's cock to support himself against the mine wall while the other gives david a little breathing room around the midsection. he doesn't shake the hand off, though. he knows enough to recognize when someone's about to drop.

he'll let go and step back when david makes a move that says he's ready - a word, a shift, a nudge, an elbow to the gut. until then, he'll take his time. ]

[ dimly, he notes a sudden rush of warmth along with the way evan stills at his back and part of him thinks so that's what that feels like, another part of him wishes he'd had the wherewithal to tell evan to pull out, but honestly david doubts he would've had the presence of mind for it anyway. it's fine, it'd be a lie if david said it didn't feel good anyway. ]

[ david stays still a little while, just catching his breath, uses the hand on evan's arm to give it a small shove and nudges him lightly with his elbow. honestly he kind of wants to just lie down and go to sleep, but he'll settle for not being crowded against this wall while he tries to get his shit together. ]

[ at the nudge, evan relents. his arm pulls away from david's waist and he pulls out of david, grimacing slightly as he does so. he pushes away from the wall and half-turns to pull his waders back up. there's time to clean later, if it's even necessary; the second either one of them gets pulled to a trial it's a clean slate, at least from a strictly physical standpoint.

his mask is abandoned somewhere outside, so he can't pull that on. instead he watches david, slightly less of a glare and more of an observation. ]

Enough for you?

[ flat as the words are, there's an edge of amusement to them - just a sliver of it. he's not going to mock someone at this point, since that usually guarantees they don't come back. but david did come out here to either get beaten to a pulp or not. it's a little satisfying, watching him have absolutely none of the fuck-you energy he's so used to from david. ]

[ he winces when evan pulls out, and maybe he half-stumbles a little when he bends to pull his pants back up, but david just kind of hopes maybe evan will assume he's still drunk and not that he fucked david so good he can barely stand. ]

[ either way he's gotten about as far as doing up his pants and threading the belt back through the buckle at the question, and it gets a tired huff of a laugh out of david. it didn't scratch that same itch that a fight would, but it's certainly worn him out in a similar enough way, especially now the warmth of that afterglow is wearing off and various aches and pains are making themselves known. ]

Guess so, shit.

[ that's all the words he's got in him right now. evan's gonna have to give him some time if he wants more. ]

[ it's not an aggressive answer - not an insult, not a bite. evan's used to that kind of response after something like this, if he gets a response at all, so it mollifies something in him to not have to deal with that right now.

he eyes david a few seconds longer in silence, then heads for the mine entrance to get his mask and cleaver back. there's not a lot more to say. he doesn't need to deliver threats to keep silent, because he doesn't care, and anyway most survivors aren't interested in talking about it.

he picks up his mask, and turns back, and tilts his head at the forest. get going. part of him wants to see just how well david does getting out of his forest drunk, fucked, and probably exhausted; the other part knows he gets more visitors than he likes, most of whom he doesn't want killing people on his property. that's his job, after all. ]

[ he's had to move in worse states than this, he'll manage. david picks his shirt up off the floor first, stalling a little because every second is a little more stability he has under him, and when he pulls it on he frowns as he touches a hand to his neck, realising it's not gonna do a whole lot to cover up those bruises. which wouldn't be an issue if so many of them weren't bite marks. he has no idea what they look like, but it seems a fair assumption that there's no mistaking them, and david isn't sure how he's gonna explain that away when he gets back to camp. coming back sore and tired is one thing, but. hm. he'll figure it out. ]

[ david cants his head when he looks back at evan, lips parted like he's about to talk, but decides there's not much he particularly wants to say right now. most of his thoughts right now are for him and some attempt to clean up when he's back. ]

[ he nods, puffs out a breath and pushes himself away from the wall to start moving. a little, uh. ungainly to begin with, but david fixes his gait as he walks. ]

[ evan watches david, their eyes meeting for a brief second, but there's no words. fine by him. he picks up his cleaver and keeps an eye on david as he heads back into the forest, not exactly smirking at the uncertain walk as he disappears into the trees and fog.

he's walking at all, so that's something david can hold onto. evan waits until he's disappeared, then heads back down into the mine toward his workshop to clean up himself. whatever issues david might end up having trying to disguise this - the bitemarks in particular, which evan never even considered would cause a problem and probably never will - the trials will wipe away.

they can always argue about it next time, provided there is a next time. ]
