Well, that hadn't exactly been Dimitri's goal... But who is he to forsake a victory, even if it was not earned in the way he thought? Dimitri's smile grows wider. "Then feel free to think about nothing else but me. I will admit, shameless and selfish as it may be, I take a certain amount of pleasure to occupying your heart so much."

Pushing himself up onto his feet, he grins. "So let us enjoy that sort of moment, and I will show you what it truly means to be swept off your feet." That's all the warning Claude gets before Dimitri moves around him, enough to bend down and just... indeed, sweep him off his feet. Literally. Into Dimitri's arms and cradled against his chest.

Okay, Claude's fairly certain he's either died or he never actually woke up this morning. Surely this kind of thing can't be something that actually happens in real life. This is strictly a heaven or good dream kind of deal, isn't it?

But, no, he feels Dimitri's strong arms cradling him like he weighs nothing at all(quite possibly, to Dimitri, he doesn't), the warmth of his chest against Claude, blond hair tickling Claude's fingers where his arms have instinctively gone around Dimitri's neck...

No, he's actually in the arms of a handsome prince right out of a fairy tale.

Yeah, Jaskier's forgotten like he never existed.

Dimitri gets to witness the most satisfying thing in the world. Claude, blushing up to his ears, looking at him and not being able to put together one single coherent word to say.

Possibly, Dimitri suspects he should feel guilty for feeling so pleased with himself. After all, while he's glad that he can pull one over on Claude to put him into such a shocked and flustered state, he knows that a part of it is only because Claude is in such a poor state thanks to what happened to Jaskier. But regardless... It is nice to see, and perhaps just a slight boost to his ego in the meanwhile.

Silver linings in clouds, and all that.

Speaking of clouds... Some of the pokeballs on Dimitri's belt start to shake, before releasing of their own accord. There's Gabby, stumbling forward on her little hooves, and Gwin quickly following after with a short flutter of his wings. Both of them immediately start to make a ruckus, with delighted little moos on Gabby's end that are matched by the musical trills provided by Gwin. All of this silly nonsense seems to have gotten them worked up, considering how the large cloud bird is bobbing from side to side, and Dimitri laughs as well.

Right... He wanted to help Claude, cheer him up. He can't do anything about Jaskier... But he can do things about himself. And that means he can make Claude happy.

"Come, you haven't finished your bread!" he says, starting to jog forward with both Pokemon in tow. "The morning has only just started, Claude!"

Gabby moos her excited agreement.

At the emergence of some of Claude's favorite pokémon outside of his own, but honestly even within them too, and Dimitri's laughter...Claude laughs, too.

It's always been a bright sound that Dimitri's made no secret of loving, but it's even more appealing for its not having been heard much lately.

He smiles at Dimitri as the man continues forward. "Careful," he warns him, though his tone is light. "This isn't the best footing, and I don't know how well you can see where you're going holding me like this..." But, with that practicality addressed, he smiles at Dimitri, and his eyes are shining almost as much as they used to. "But what exactly were you planning on doing with the morning from here? You make it sound like we've got an itinerary."

[nastyboy]

"I will be fine!" Dimitri says confidently. Besides him, Gwin bobs his head up and down, trilling out again. Somehow, the sounds he make match the number of syllables in Dimitri's words. "And I did not make any particular plans, but there is so much to do - we will certainly find something."

Anything to make Claude keep laughing, and smiling, bathed in light like he always should be. The darkness of depression doesn't suit him, in Dimitri's opinion. He deserves better. Whatever Dimitri can do to give him that, he will.

Gabby moos a little bit in warning, and Dimitri pauses, twisting his head so that he can properly see the rough terrain she's alerting him to. "At any rate, I told you to finish your meal! And then..." A pause, and Dimitri gives Claude a boyish grin. "We can explore all the nooks and crannies that can be found along the beach. I've never had a chance to do so, you know." Faerghus not really having comfortable beaches like this. "So you'll have to be my teacher."
