So you don't remember growing up around here. [It's a throwaway remark along the lines of "so you're not from around here." He watches her face where he expects the real answer to be, less a verbal one.] Were you in an accident, too? I'm just fresh out of one. Whatever fight I was in that time, I did not come out the winner.
[He laughs, both on account of his own joke and hers.]
Remind me not to sneak up on you in a dark alley--I'd rather not end up back in the hospital. But hey, I'm game for learning off each other if you are!
[He'd be lying if he said he didn't feel a similar pull to stay fit, stay sharp. He's been too lax the last week already, it's left an itch between his shoulders. Jack, the laziest one in class, feeling the urge to train. The others would never have believed it.]
