It was really amazing how you'd let yourself go when no one could see you. Not that Claude had ever been one to care much what he looked like anyway, but add that to the invisible thing and you go to the state he was in when Peter found him - grizzly beard and hot dog gut (well, hot dog and pretzels - it's just so much easier to steal from street

Faith had had a fucked up dream and couldn't go back to sleep afterward, so she figured she might as well get up and go to the beach. She wasn't much for staying inside...a few years in the penn, not to mention a few seperate times in solitary, had kicked that desire to the curb.

It always surprised her how many people actually got up this early. On purpose. It was also a surprise to see someone who could actually do push ups like that...and did them on purpose.

"Good morning, sunshine," she drawled appreciatively, stopping her course in order to watch that form.

The sudden voice behind him startled Claude enough that he lost his balance and ended up with a face full of grass. Sneezing, he got to his feet and turned, only to see... the girl he'd fucked during the Weekend of Adolescence.

"Faith," he blurted. Well, at least he remembered her name.

Both brows shot up. He looked sort of familiar, but damned if she knew how.

"That's my name, don't wear it out," she replied, strightening up, putting up the front. "Who the fuck are you?"

Claude sighed. He briefly considered lying, but really, what was the point? The conversation was bound to be short anyway. "We've met," he said. "Only I looked a little different."

Trance was familiar with most of the trees in the area and, since it was a forest, used them as balance practice when she wanted to get around and no one was around to say hello to. That was what she'd been doing when she noticed Claude doing pushups and she decided to stop to watch for a few minutes. It actually reminded her of watching Tyr work. They even did their pushups the same way - one-handed. After a few minutes, she moved to leave when one of the small branches she was using as a foothold collapsed beneath her feet and she tumbled to the ground right in front of Claude.

"Oww."

That was definitely enough to startle Claude as well, who wound up losing his balance, and with a mouthful of grass. He turned over onto his back, and then turned his head and looked at her. "Nice of you to drop in," he said dryly.

[purplensparkly]

"Believe me," Trance said wryly. "I didn't plan on it being that way." She slowly got to her feet, wincing the entire way. "That hurt." She stretched, feeling her back pop a little and some of her muscles protested, but she seemed fine enough, if a bit bruised.

Claude was still lying on his back in the grass, looking as if he had no intention of getting up. "Falling from a tree tends to have that effect."

Eden's morning walk took her past what she thought of as Bennet's hut most days, and that was the case today. She half-smiled, brow raising, when she saw Claude outside. "Hard at work, I see," she said wryly. "Morning."

[visibleclaude]

"I've been at it for days," said Claude, panting a little. "Just hoping you'd walk by so I could impress you."

[wishesandsmoke]

"Well, if I'd known I had an appointment," Eden deadpanned. It was impressive, admittedly; she wasn't much good at push-ups even with both hands involved.

[visibleclaude]

Claude stopped the push-ups and propelled himself backwards, rocking back on his heels and wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. "Well if you've missed your appointment then what brings you to my neck of the woods?"
