Kohala Coast, Hawaii | Morning & Afternoon | Tuesday | February 22nd

Everyone should feel sorry for the poor bastards left behind in Fandom where snow collected atop the ice that coated the ground overnight. But in Hawaii, everything was sunny, warm, and beautiful. It was paradise, and everyone there should take advantage!

"I had one drink at Karla's insistence," Ben replied with a smile. "It was a weird color and had a lot of things in it."

"How many things?" Ender asked, amused, and climbed up on the treadmill. "She mentioned something about sneaking objects into your drink..."

Yes, they'd totally been plotting behind your back, Ben.

"There were probably ten before I caught the bartender adding more to it," Ben said with a laugh. "Should I be worried that two of my best friends are plotting against me?"

"Don't worry," Ender said, jabbing in the settings on the machine, "We only mean you well. Some deluxe ego-deflation, courtesy of your two best friends."

"Do you think they have appropriate thank you gifts for that in the shops?" Ben wondered, heading over to the weights.

"Just don't get balloons," Ender suggested, "We're trying to decrease the amount of hot air, not increase it."

He started jogging.

Ben snorted. "I'd been thinking more in the way of a lei."

"Because that's what we need. More leis," Ender sighed. "So Karla can make more puns."

"She told me all about deflowering you," Ben said, trying not to smirk and almost succeeding.

"She was lying," Ender said, with a snort, "I didn't let them put a lei on me."

"Did you fake a flower allergy?" he asked.

"I limit my amateur theatrics to Shakespeare, Skywalker," Ender informed him. "Not everything has to be big and over the top."

"But sometimes it's fun," Ben replied, starting to do leg reps. "How did you get out of the flowers?"

"I know it's hard to comprehend, but sometimes people respond to this thing called 'asking'."

Well, if combined by looking a little disturbed... Ender pushed through with his running program, picking up some speed.

"It seemed to be customary," Ben said with a little shrug. "There's no harm in letting beings practice their customs, provided their custom isn't to roast you over a spit and serve you as the main course."

Kriffing Ewoks.

Ender shot him a glance from the treadmill. "I wasn't aware I'd been saying anything to the contrary," he said, sounding a little amused. "I just wasn't feeling very lei-y."

"Are you ever?" Ben teased back. "I haven't noticed a lot of flower necklaces in our room until now."

"I don't usually get them thrust at me," he returned. Casual gym time banter, he could do. "Don't say things like that. You never know when Karla might overhear..."

Though ahahaha at the idea of her being up this early. Ever.

Ben snorted. "Unless Mini-Morton is in here with us right now, I think we're safe. It's early."

"And in saying that, you have just invoked Murphy's Law, if you buy into that kind of superstition." Ender's running program started to run down towards the cool-off, and he started to slow accordingly.

"I'll chance it," Ben said with a laugh. "Can you spot me on the weights when you're finished?"

"Sure," Ender said, and lapsed into silence while he finished his program.

He slung his towel over his shoulders when he was through, and made his way towards Ben. "Having fun so far?"

"Sure," Ben said. "It's nice to have a change of scenery, especially if it's this beautiful. You?"

He rather suspected otherwise, but didn't really expect Ender to admit to it in the gym.

Ender sat down near him, waiting patiently for Ben to get ready. "Nice swimming out here," he said, "So far I've even managed to avoid getting my toes cut off by wandering crabs."

Ben smiled and then slid onto the military press station after glancing at weights that had been loaded onto it.

He wasn't trying to look like one of the wrestlers on television, but definitely had more definition in his arms and shoulders than most kids his age (who weren't Ender) did.

"I'd make fun of you if you went home with only eight toes," he said, beginning to lift the weights.
