It'd been a few weeks since Eden and he started this

Eden sighs, stretching her arms up over her head. She'll feel it tomorrow, that's for certain, but truth be told, she relishes it, the ache in her muscles that promises she's only getting stronger. It's been a long time since she really had anyone to keep her on her toes like this, and she's taken more than a few knocks since starting, but she appreciates it. She's let herself grow rusty. It's one thing to relax, another to lose touch, and though the island is relatively peaceful, it helps her sense of peace to know she's prepared to fight.

"Well, you sure as hell don't make it easy," she says, smiling over at him. Shaking her hair loose from its short ponytail, she heads over to sit near him and sip her own water. "That was a good one."

"Where's the fun in making it easy?" he counters with a laugh. Still, there's something satisfying in the fact he's a little out of practice himself and he can still hold his own. That she's such a challenge isn't what he expected, but all the better, if you ask him.

"Oh, none at all," Eden says. She's out of practice and he can more than hold his own even without being able to see her, so it's far from easy, but it's exactly what she needs. It helps, knowing she's getting back in shape, that she'll be ready if anything happens here. Combat was never a big part of her field experience, but Bennet wanted her prepared for anything. She has to wonder what he'd say if he could see her these days. "It makes stopping even better. So how's moving going?"

"Not bad, especially considering my roommate wants us to do most of the repairs ourselves," he snorts, though he sounds less annoyed and more amused by that fact. Honestly, he can't complain when it's giving him something to do himself during the times of the day everything seems to just drag. "I've basically had a crash course in hut repair these last few weeks."
