Day 57: Recreational Field
As soon as brunch was through, Kratos knew exactly where he wanted to go. For the past two nights, he had not done anything beyond brisk walking. In order to be at his best later on, and to decrease the risk of re-injury, he needed to do some serious stretching, or at least some activity that actually required physical exertion.
...actually, he was simply getting restless - going two days without a fight or at least running was something of a heresy - but he would never admit that sort of juvenile behavior to himself.
He half-expected to be stopped once he'd exited the cafeteria and directed toward one of the waiting rooms, but like last week, no such luck - or rather, "luck". The last thing he needed was a distraction in the form of a false family or friend; he was still struggling with the repercussions of a visit that had taken place over two weeks ago, which was unacceptable in its own right. Thus undeterred, Kratos continued on to the recreational field, stopping by his room briefly to change into more appropriate clothing for the weather.
The field was completely empty upon his arrival, which was to his preference; he stood by loosely for a few moments to see if the nurse would leave. When he didn't, Kratos shrugged lightly, and started stretching, going through all the ones he could remember before he broke into a jog around the field. It was slightly difficult going since the coat went all the way down to his knees, but just being able to do something familiar was good enough for him.
