"I just wanted to make sure you knew..."

Orlando shivers, the chilling night biting through a thin t-shirt to eat into his skin. Cold. Really very cold. Not that Viggo seems to notice.

"Well, good, it's important to me that you know..."

He tucks his arms in as close to his torso's body heat as possible as the stars blink and the shadows of mysteriously shaped undergrowth loom unchanging nearby. Viggo continues.

"You have no idea how long I've spent thinking about this, you really do need..."

The water swirls about Orlando's thighs, and the riverbed clinks beneath flooded boots.
