[He shrugs and fishes around the bowl for an intact pretzel.]

Hey, I'm spotting. How hard can it be?

[He just has to stand there and say vaguely encouraging things unless she actually needs his help... right? It's not like he volunteered to actually work out too.]

[a_shadow]

[ She rolls her eyes with a good-natured smirk. ]

I guess we'll see.

[originalcopy]

I guess.

[He sips.]

Wait. You know I'm just spotting you... right.

[a_shadow]

[ That pulls a bigger smile out—an actual smile. ]

We'll see.

[originalcopy]

Fuuuck that.

[He rolls his eyes but he's not snarking in a bitchy way.]

I know you haven't seen it yet... but this body is in good shape already.

[a_shadow]

You don't need to brag.

[ She's still smiling, though. ]

Want to go head-to-head?

[originalcopy]

I have not yet begun to brag.

[He snerks and holds up the glass in a little mock salute. But her question has him raise a curious eyebrow.]

Are we talking a 'who can do the most squats' head-to-head... or the 'you're going to kick my ass' kind?

[Not a no, just curious.]

[a_shadow]

[ She smirks. ]

I could be persuaded into the latter, but I did mean like competition. Want to race?

[originalcopy]

Race? Like running?

[He considers it and then shrugs. On one hand running sucks. On the other, she's admitted that she's not at her best... and he's buzzed enough to completely overestimate his odds at beating her at anything.]

Yeah, okay. Why not?

[a_shadow]

[ She smiles. ]

Tomorrow, then.

[ She tips back the end of her drink, then rests her chin on her hand. ]

Mm. I forgot my tolerance is lower, too.

[originalcopy]

It's a date. Um... not a date date. Just a 'let's meet at a time-slash-place' date.

[He's just going to join her in finishing his drink now.]

Oh yeah? That mean I actually have a chance to not be drunk under the table...

[a_shadow]

[ She snickers a little when he corrects himself, but also doesn't say anything about it. ]

You have a chance.

[ She sighs. ]

I'd get another but I'd probably be literally falling-down drunk then.

[originalcopy]

Hey, I'm good with that.

[He grins like an idiot. After all a chance is probably as good as it's ever going to get.]

Yeah, 'prolly. I'm not gunna be in any better shape for carryin' you.

[a_shadow]

[ She snorts. ]

It's be funny to try to make you...but since I'd be too drunk to enjoy the results, I think I'll pass.

[originalcopy]

Y'know, if Tucker and Caboose were here... we could totally get piggyback rides back.

[For science, obviously. He almost looks wistful for all of three seconds, before snapping out of it.]

What this place needs is taxis. I mean, they have the rail lines but no taxis. Have you seen a single taxi here?

[a_shadow]

[ She snickers. ]

No, actually. Which seems like a real oversight.

[originalcopy]

Right! I bet if I had a car I could make serious money. If there was anywhere to bring people.

[Hang on, his plan has a bigger flaw than just where to drive.]

Or I could actually put up with people for that long.

[a_shadow]

[ She snickers again. ]

Well, at least you know your limits in this hypothetical situation.
