(( Gymnasium, Deck 5, USS Octavia E Butler ))
Kovacs: ::looking downward and shaking his head:: Not this round, but I’ve been there before. It’s nice to see a modern take on starbase design; the transparent ceiling gives a breathtaking view and I hear that the Dyson ring had a similar design.
Arlill: It definitely was magnificent.
Kovacs: So… who is that guy? I’ve not seen him around before.
Arlill: He’s from waste reclamation, we work out together sometimes.
Kovacs: (pursing his lips before responding) I thought I knew everyone down there; my last couple of duty assignments have been repairs after the ‘ingenuity’ overloaded several consoles and EPS manifolds.
The line of inquiry was throwing off Toxin’s focus and his grip slipped a little. Eli seemed to pick up on it quickly and placed his hands below the bar. This reassured Toxin and he put more effort into the last few reps of the set.
Toxin didn’t want to go down this line of questioning too far. Henri just showing up, again, was frustrating enough, but trying to also explain his presence didn’t help.
Arlill: Yeah, the department's pretty big. Easy to miss people sometimes.
Kovacs: Response
Arlill: We haven't been workout buddies for too long. Just happened to have similar schedules.
Kovacs: Response
Arlill: ::feeling a bit uncomfortable with the questioning:: Look, I should probably finish up here. Got a shift coming up soon.
Kovacs: Response
