Anyone looking for a running partner? Think I'm starting to get a little out of shape.

[ His little encounter with Castle at New Years sort of brought that up, and it's been a while since he's reached out to Paradisa in general -- can't hurt, right? ]

[Clem is nearby, looking at her journal and trying not to laugh. The little huff of air that escapes her is expertly covered up with a cough.]

[rightchoices]

[ He flicks a piece of paper at her. It falls short, but he's still frowning!! her way. ]

Very funny, Clem.

[willrememberthat]

[She looks up with a smile, tilting her head to see that paper on the floor.]

What?

[rightchoices]

I know what that little sound means.

[ And he "coughs" in pretty darn good mimicry of her. ]

[willrememberthat]

[That sounds so delicate.]

Do you need a cough drop?

[rightchoices]

Nah. Might need one little girl to stop hurting my feelings, though.

[ Look at him, putting on the theatrics here. ]

[willrememberthat]

Who?

[You're not the only one who can play this game, Lee.]

[rightchoices]

I wonder. Maybe you want to start going on runs? Sunrise sound good to you?

[willrememberthat]

[She... actually would. She's very much still in the 'Hang Around Lee All The Time' mode.]

I don't think you would be able to keep up.

[dgaf]

How fast do you run?

dictated;

[rightchoices]

Not fast enough, I'm sure.

dictated;

[dgaf]

Wrong. Try again.

dictated;

[rightchoices]

What? And how am I supposed to answer that, exactly?

dictated;

[dgaf]

You should say: faster than you. Then we'll have ourselves a race.

dictated;

[rightchoices]

See, that just seems like an unwise thing to say on my part.

dictated;

[dgaf]

Can't win if you don't try.

[rightchoices]

[ He can't help it: he's amused. ]

Gotta give me a few weeks to condition first, at least.

Dictated; sorry for the late but not really

[indirectcause]

You run?

Like...as a hobby?

Dictated; i'm not sorry

[rightchoices]

Not usually, no. Figured it might be good to start, though. Why?

Dictated

[indirectcause]

Just never saw you as a running kind of guy. [You know, when you're not being CHASED anyway]

Dictated

[rightchoices]

Well, classically, no... but it's not exactly too late to get into the habit.

[ You callin' him fat, Ben. ]

Dictated

[indirectcause]

Huh. I guess not. At least there are plenty of places to run to here.

[He would never dare. To his face.]

Dictated

[rightchoices]

[ Smart kid sometimes, Ben... ]

Clem's gonna start coming with me. What about you?

Dictated

[indirectcause]

[S o m e t i m e s]

That'd be okay, I think. [Dude his legs are twice as long as yours, this is not going to be a fair run.]

Dictated

[rightchoices]

[ It's a workout, Ben, not a race. >T ]

Then we'll stop by your room in the morning.
