[ He's going to die. ]

I won't?

[ Probably. ]

It doesn't get nearly cold enough for that around here. Not yet anyway.

Maybe I should get some blankets delivered down to the lobby first.

Before we jump all the way to that why don't we see if we can get you out of that form?

Oh- yeah? Wait- yeah- I only need one line to switch, huh.

Yep, so you know what you got to do if you want to get rid of it. So what do you got?

[ Reading over his card... then pointing out the top line. ]

These should be quicker to do.

[ Ugh. Another pet name one!!! ]

Yeah, I'd say we can get through all of those ones pretty fast. [ Elbows him: ] Do you think you can get up to play fetch, though?

I think I've rested enough to try again, at least.

[ Behold... a standing baby deer- ]

[ Stifling her laughter - just a tad as she watches. ]

Try walking five feet to the left.

Okay, okay, don't rush...

[

[ She barely smothers her laughing with a hand, not even trying to hide it. She coughs and then reaches for something - let's go with an apple. Tosses it in hand once and then tosses it out. It's a good toss, a decent distance as if to tease him further: ]

Go on, boy. You can do it go get the apple -

[ She's not sorry. ]

[ Muffled from his spot on the ground. ]

I am going to eat that apple and not return it.

[ Time to go about straightening his legs and getting them back under him. ]

Let's see if you can even get to the apple first.

Hah, underestimating me now?

[ He's a little more aggressive than he might normally be, thanks were, and that helps with his determination in getting back on his feet again, steps still wobbly but more sure this time around. ]

Let's just say I have my concerns.

[ She's teasing with that, but though she follows it up with a shrug she'll quietly watch. ]

Well, I can't be leaving my teammates concerned...

[ Getting his footing under himself more with each step he makes to the apple. ]

Enough talking and a little more walking.

What if the talking helps with the walking?

[ He calls playfully over his shoulder. ]

Well, if you really need a motivational trainer - be careful what you ask for.

I'd be kind of interested to see what you've got in mind for that though.

We'll save that for later. For the outdoor survival training you so clearly need.

But we live in a city...

And what happens if there's a game where you have to survive in the wilderness?

That could happen?
