The Gym; Late Sunday Afternoon [ 09/06 ].

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

The fact that Cal had made it down to the gym as early as he had (even though it was pretty well into the day) made him feel proud. The summer had been filled with plenty of lazy days, especially once he'd returned to Michigan, so he felt it was a good thing that he was waking up in the afternoons at all.

Hair tied back and in his loose, comfy work-out clothes, he stretched out a little by the machines before getting back into the habit of using them. They should be a cinch, too, after building churches for two months.

"I'm not wrong that often," Didi said. She didn't think she was this time, either, but she'd let it go. "Sorry. My mistake. What should I base what I think on?"

Definitely not by what you saw, of that Cal was completely convinced. He felt himself the perfect example of that, after all.

"By getting to know the person," he said with a shrug. "People can be surprising."

Even now, he was surprising himself. He actually wanted to stop saying things that could one day be interpreted as cryptic or curious, but they just kept coming.

"Maybe once in a while," Didi had to allow, albeit smugly. "So. We're talking. What should I ask to get to know you?"

"That's not a bad question to start with," Cal said with complimentary evasiveness. "Although you're the newer kid; I should be asking you."

Didi tilted her head to the side and watched him for a long second, as if trying to make her mind up about something. "Hmmmm."

Yeah, like that wasn't something to make a person a little self-conscious. This was especially true from someone who was in a constant state of self-consciousness. Cal shifted a little, trying to make it look like he hadn't shifted at all.

"What?"

"I'm trying to figure out if you ever say what you think, or if you keep things cryptic to be interesting."

Okay, so that response wasn't as bad as it could have been. In fact, Cal really couldn't help grinning a little at it.

"I do say what I think," he said. "Sometimes."
