☠ 058 ; action in the gym

[Molotov has gotten out of the practice of meditation, over the years. Being busy at home, being distracted in Paradisa, it takes one away from remembering to focus. And recent months have been the most stressful that she can remember. Between the still-contained horror from space, her friends leaving left and right, and repeated run-ins with obnoxious residents, Molotov needs to sink back into herself.

But Molotov doesn't turn to yoga or tai chi for her center. Running is helpful, but it's not enough. No, Molotov returns to her roots for meditation -- gymnastics.

Most people probably wouldn't understand, but Molotov finds tranquility in endless loops around the uneven bars, in holding a handstand as long as possible on the beam, in corkscrewing in the air from a simple jump on the floor.

In fact, she feels amazing when she takes a momentary break, sitting cross-legged on the floor and sweating. Enough so that she wants to extend the feeling. She grabs her journal, and opens it to write simply:]


Would anyone be interested in gymnastics lessons from an Olympian?

Molotov! As it so happens, I am presently away from the castle, but I will gladly be your student upon my return.

Camping! We are not terribly far out, but we are far enough.

Stephanie and Cassandra find it entertaining to "live rustically" while still bringing every creature comfort known to mankind. I am humoring them.

Plus it is nice to be with them.

Mol, you are so foul-minded!

[He chuckles.]

You should know me better than that. Stephanie has a boyfriend, and Cassandra... well, it remains to be seen.

Stephanie and I have been friends since the day I arrived in Paradisa, Molotov, and I have never slept with her. I do not imagine that would change now. Believe it or not, you are not the only woman immune to my charms.

[Cassandra's another matter entirely, but Ezio's not putting that on the table.]

How tragic, then, that she abhors wine and does not drink beer.

[He's glad she's letting him get away with that. Or assumes she is. Damn.]

Soon.

I am not going anywhere, Molotov, you know that.

Perhaps a day or so?

[A pause.]

I know. But we can hope.

I can concede to that in the future, if it brings you comfort.

I have two apprentices. I had a third, until recently. It leaves me busy.

But I will make more time for you.

[He knows her well enough at this point to know her silences, to know something's missing, and he softens his tone a little.]

You can wait another day, hmm? Then we will go drinking, and we will swim, then you can beat me into gymnastics.

Summer blooms, hmm? I will bring you that and more.
