Jamie curled his toes over the edge of the cliff. Their guide had told them it was perfectly safe, he wasn't going to land on any rocks. Still. It was a bit of a drop. He sucked a breath in between his teeth. Now or never.

He ran backwards a few paces, then sprinted forward, leaping off the edge of the cliff. He hung there in midair for a second, then started to fall, whooping all the way. He hit the water with a giant splash, sinking down before propelling himself back up. His adrenaline had spiked somewhere on the way down, but it was totally worth it.

Jamie stood up, brushing sand off his back. "That sound good, Dad?" he asked. "You can lie down for a little while, and we'll meet back up in a couple of hours to eat, or something."

She rose and gave Jamie a comforting smile before collecting all the towels and putting a summer dress over her bikini. "And you're not ruining anything either.Hanging out is still loads of fun."

Thomas nodded as Victor set about helping pack up. "Yeah...resting sounds good." He felt like the moment he was alone he might cry, but at least he could try to rest his head. "I'm still sorry," he said to Kat. He knew no one would resent him for this, but he felt annoyed it was necessary.

Jamie just hugged him again, smiling at Kat. "She's right, you're really not," he added. "And they might have something at the desk or whatever, some meds that might help."

She nodded to that, "yeah I'm sure they do." she set everything in the bag, then picked it up. "And if Jamie wants to he's free to come chill with us. We can geek out over historical things." That and she figured Jamie might need a moment to deal without worrying his father might feel bad over it.

"Sure, we can do that," Jamie said, recognizing the gesture for what it was and feeling really grateful for it. He tended to worry or react mostly in private, because that was easier for him. He didn't want his dad to think he was angry or upset at him, because he wasn't.

"We should go and see the Parthenon, if you guys haven't already."

"We could take you," Victor suggested, since the thought of going anywhere seemed to make Thomas go even paler. "Give Thomas time to nap."

"Only if that's okay with everyone," Thomas quickly said.

"Of course it is," she offered Thomas a smile, "it's hardly a problem to go see the Parthenon with Jamie. It'll be fun." She ave another smile then, "we all good? We'll walk you back to the hotel Thomas, then we'll go geeking with Jamie."
