He's recommended we build a gym.

[He would be more in support of this if he didn't have to consider how much work this is going to be. Is going to be, because it's almost certainly going to happen now that Maine's here; it gives Wash something to work toward, which is something.]

[ Tex's ears seem to perk up at that. The main thing she dislikes about being in this new place is the aimlessness, the lack of a united goal. At least when she had arrived on the Moira she'd been given a job. ]

He's got a good thought there.

[counterblows]

Yeah, well, I have no idea how to even begin setting one up.

[Where's the inventiveness and improbable resourcefulness of the Reds when you need them?]

Start looking for building materials, I guess.

[a_shadow]

Tend to need those to build something, yes.

[ She ponders it for a moment. ]

Are there any huts like this one sitting empty? That might be a place to get started.

[counterblows]

A few, but I'm not sure I'd want to use one of them. More people show up every month, and some houses are already full.

[Still, there are probably some structures lying around on Ensō they can appropriate for a gym. Right?]

[a_shadow]

What, you're worried about people ending up homeless? It's a jungle, not Sidewinder.

[ She shrugs to herself. ]

Maybe we can just use a house for workouts while we build.

[counterblows]

I don't want to be a dick.

[Wash you already are.]

...but that sounds more doable.

[a_shadow]

Hell, yeah, of course it is.

[ Tex carefully untangles herself and rises. Ami seems not to want her to go; the animal bumps its head against her hand. Therefore, Tex doesn't move away, just returns to petting the tigerlily's head. ]

[counterblows]

She's needy.

[That's his fault, probably. He didn't have anyone or anything else to really...have around, after C.T. and Carolina left.]

[a_shadow]

Maybe so. It's all right, for now. But I need to take a walk and do a workout.

[counterblows]

All right, well. C'mere, girl.

[He hooks one arm around Ami's neck and draws her closer, and she begins nuzzling him almost at once.]

Better make your escape while you can.

[a_shadow]

Thanks.

[ And without another word, she leaves. ]
