Emails to Haroun, Scott & Ororo.

Subject: Still bouncing here...
...and I see you've already started booking some of my time on a daily basis. So more bouncing. I'm guessing we're not heading straight into heavy sparring and all, too. Because, hey, that makes sence. But still - anything specific you want me to prep for anyway?
Also, I'm kidnapping you in about thirty minutes. Didn't see you anywhere near food 'round lunchtime and I hear there's many a fruit in the kitchen that I could put to good use. Such as a late lunch for both of us?
:)

Subject: The fifteenth...
...this is me very very discreetly not changing Haroun's schedule but pointing out that if (if!) you can leave him to me for that day, it'd be really appreciated.
It's his birthday and all... :)

Subject: Preparation
We are going to start by shoring up your defenses. We're going to point-spar, but you'll be defense-only. Figure it'd be a good way to confront the Beast head-on, so to speak.
Assuming you're OK from there, we'll step it up to hands-only, then hands-and-feet, then weapons.
A lot of it really depends on you.
And I'm too busy to eat. Trying to cut over more of the Blackbird's core systems to an optical system - so that they survive lightning strikes much better than they do now.
Salaam,
Haroun

Subject: re: preparation
Okay. Possibly two sessions per day, mornings and afternoons, if things go well? I'd like that. I have the free time, even with the filework I've been doing...
There is no 'too busy to eat' business here. I'm not at all interested in having to go look for you one day just to find you all wasted away to nothing in some dark and hidden corner of the plane, you know.
And it's nice out. I could make a picnic basket or something?

Subject: Which part of BUSY was unclear?
We'll see how things go. If you're up to it, I have no problem with stepping up to two-a-days. But I'm not going to mollycoddle you. These workouts will be _hard_ and you will _work_.
And I've got all the access panels off and the guts exposed, so the last thing I want is crumbs or juice on my fingers.If you want to come keep me company, or better yet, play step-and-fetch-it, I'd be happy to have the company.
You'll just have to put up with my music.
Salaam,
Haroun

Subject: The part where you get snappish is clear all right. :p
I have no problems with working hard. None at all. I'm not thinking of taking ages and ages to get back on duty when I'm physically fine so start with and don't have any catching up to do there.
If you're going to snap at me, I'll pass. I'm not likely to react well to it. Heck, we know I don't react well to it and I don't want to start yelling at you just because I don't react well to snappishness these days. Otherwise, sure - I'll have something to eat first though because I am hungry, and then I can wander down to help.
I don't mind it so much.

Sheesh!
And I know you don't have any problems with a good hard workout. I'm counting on this. I'm just warning you now - stay loose, stay warmed up.
Ah, screw it. I'll put the damned access panels back on and come up to get a late lunch. Not getting much accomplished down here anyway.

Pbhhhht!
Oh I will. And I'll be careful too. There won't be any repeat of what happened the last time. Which I'm still sorry for.
And I get it in the belated way now. How about we have lunch and then I'll head down to help? Maybe not having to worry about fetching stuff will make whatever you were working on more cooperative...
Off to track down food now!
