He nodded as he ate and then he laughed. "Well knowing how to drive is always good and I am in no way a radical. I mean maybe I was back in the day but I was also young and stupidly thought that one person could be a whole world of change. Now that I know more though I love it. I ask all the questions and find who I need to be. I see some of that in you too, a little more curious than you let others lead on to believe." Alice Seraphim

"Next time we go out I could drive you. I've gotten into other adventures too outside of working hours and that is all about growing up. So what is this mountain we're going to climb like? Do we need any special gear?" Alice replied then posed questions of her own. She didn't know what to expect after all. Clark Brown

"Okay that sounds fine," he said as he took a second and then nodded. "I set up everything that we needed at the bottom of the mountain. I suppose it is more fun to look and then paused and look down on what we want more than anything else though at the end of the day as long as it is something that we attempted I will consider it a win."

"So we can go once we finish our food?" Alice cheerfully posed. It sounded like they were ready and if they did succeed in climbing it that was the win. Personally Alice considered getting as far as she could on her first mountain as a win but that was the same for first anythings. There also seemed to be plenty of the daylight left too and no time pressure. She'd have fun finding out of her and mountains mixed. Clark Brown

"Indeed we can. I just did not want you to feel as if you had to be rushed into it. I am assuming that this is your first time and I just want it to go as smooth as it can though I am also aware that most the time when we want things to go smooth they do everything but," he said as he laughed.

"Its my first time mountain climbing" Alice confirmed. Then added "things usually go wrong when you need them to run to plan. That's life for you". She smiled again as finished off her last items on her plate. The cod goujon and the last forkfull's of potato salad. She was certainly good to go once Clark was. At least if they got into trouble on the mountain she could get them out of it. Clark Brown

The truth was that he did not think that they would get in trouble and he still knew that not everything could be covered as he finished his food. "Seems like you are good to go, I will pay and then we can get the day started if you are truly ready. I know that I do not not show it much but I am very excited for this and I hope it is a good day for you as well," he said as he stood and waited for her as well. Alice Seraphim

"I'm truely ready" Alice confirmed with a smile on her face and handing him her plate and fork. Clark looked ready too. Perhaps he was rubbing off on her. If she'd been offered this chance when she'd been caged in Florida she would have hesitated but it sounded good to her. Now they just had to get there and start. Clark Brown

He now felt better about them going up the mountain. It was not that he did not before but he found out that food was always a good help. "Let's get this show on the road." He had managed to get them a couple of bikes to get to the start point which was only about two miles away. Once they had arrived he put his bike to the side and waited on Alice to do the same with hers. "Okay, I normally start on the left side of the mountain just because I find it easier but you should find a good starting space for you," he said as he backed up to look at it. "It's beautiful though." Alice Seraphim

Alice was rusty on a bike as the last time she remembered riding one was aged ten. Usually she fluttered along at a low level or walked in the army base. She needed a while to figure it out again so was behind Clark all the way to the mountain with her needing to sit up straighter to get the same balance point that she remembered. She did however get there and placed her bike beside his. So this was a mountain and it did look high enough. Perhaps higher than her flight ceiling but she didn't really know how high she could go just yet. She'd discover that later. "It certainly does. So lets see" Alice mused as she looked back up from the ground at the slopes she could see. She had an idea but it wouldn't invalidate them climbing today. "I need a closer look" she added and took off gracefully heading up to 100 feet. From here she could flit around and find a good starting point for a beginner; in her mind somewhere simple and easy to start with. She kept descending too as she changed direction trying to figure this out. Clark Brown

Clark had always been someone who was patient but also slow moving at times. He knew that this might be bad but he did his best to try and enjoy life whenever he could because it did seem to fly by so fast. "Okay just please be careful," he said as he took a second and got the rest of his stuff gathered. He would wait to make sure she was safe before he would start off but he was excited. Alice Seraphim

Having had her look Alice landed beside Clark. She wasn't quite sure if she'd figured things out right but there was a path that looked simpler even if it wasn't easier. Then she told Clark about it. "I think that way up will work" she mused and then looked at the equipment Clark had. He'd show her what she needed to know and she could also learn from him; the way she did with everything.

He harnessed himself in and slowly begin to climb still keeping Alice in his sights. There was something about being outside that made him feel good and like, all together he needed it. He did love being on the island though and he finally spoke. "Alice, how are you holding up so far?" He knew that they had just gotten started but he still liked to check in every once in a while. "Let me know if you need any help at all." Alice Seraphim

Between them they'd picked a mountain face to climb but she also could hover if fell; that didn't stop her using the harness as she concentrated on every move she had to make. She was small and needed to find closer foot holes and hand holds than other climbers would. "So far so good" she mused looking back at Clark. She was going slow and steady and pulled herself up to the next part ledge and trying not to look down. Then she realised what she'd found once she looked up. "How do you move sideways in this rig? Nothing to hold onto ahead of me" she asked. Now she needed help. Clark Brown

He had been around a lot and every time that he had, he knew that there was a lot that he would never experience. Still his mind was pulled away when he heard Alice. "Oh," he said as he slowly moved over so that he could get a better look. "Okay it's fine, we just need to get you up," he said as he looked around. "Then we need to pull you to the left and you can grab onto that rock." He let out a deep breath as he made his way over but above her. "Are you good with that?" he had to know before he moved on.
