The cook's legs dangled over what must have been sizzling metal in this sunshine and while it concerned Hadley they did wonder if his thick fur would be enough of a protective cushion between skin and sun-scorched siding. It was one thing to be burned by the sun's rays beating down on you, but to also be broiled from the other side by a boiling hot surface didn't exactly seem like a fun time.
Really they knew it wasn't a fun time. Who hadn't been caught out in the intense light of the sun on a metal slide or fence or scaffold you definitely weren't supposed to be climbing but did anyway because it looked like fun and you were already really good at falling slowly?
Or was that last bit just Hadley?
And was it just Hadley, or did Dallas look a little red-eyed?
Frowning softly in even more concern than before, they folded their arms and tried to peer against the sun into Dallas's face, but it was kind of hard to see much from down here. Hm.
“I know how to change an ignition switch, sure,” they said, placing their hands delicately on their hips. Maybe it was good that they chose the dress today - that sun was making itself known to the Earth dwellers. Hot, insistently so. “You know I'm not afraid of a little dirt, Dallas. Uh, sorry to change the subject - are you crying or sweating?” The more they looked, the closer they got they could see Dallas's eyes were running over with moisture and it didn't feel like it was the heat that was the issue.
