Recuperating

Will Stanton, after a rather harrowing experience against the Redcaps, sat in the sauna. Heat seemed to do Will good, loosening up and the joints and making it easier to shift. It was a luxury after who knows how long in Antarctica...and colder places even longer than that.

Charles poked his head into the Sauna. His body hurt from all the running around, the shifting, and the terror of it all. It made a trip to the sauna sound rather.... relaxing.

"Mind if I join you?" Charles asked politely.

"Mmm. No, not at all--the more the merrier."

Charles sat down in the sauna and sighed contentedly as the heat soothed sore muscles.

"Never realized shifting could be so much exhausting, eh," Charles said, "Feeling sore in muscles I didn't even realize existed."

"Well, they probably didn't exist until you shifted, right?"

"True, you don't see many people with extra tentacles where there shouldn't be tentacles, eh? Leads to a new kind of soreness," Charles said.

"Little tip--the heat does wonders if you're ever sore. I have no idea how I lived without it for so long."

"Yeah, here I always thought they were just a place to warm up after a day of ice fishing," Charles said, "Oh, right I'm Charles."

"Will. Nice to meetcha, Charles.

So, you're another shifter, then? Always nice to have more in our little fraternity."

"You too then, eh?" Charles asked. "Didn't realize it was a fraternity. Is there like an initiation or something?"

"I don't think so? I haven't been going to most of the shifting classes," Will admitted.

"Oh? Why not?" Charles asked.

"A slight...personality conflict, I guess, with someone in the class? Things were awkward for a bit, at least..."

"Oh," Charles said, "So do you just practice by yourself then?"

"Basically, yeah. It's probably not good for me, right?"

"Can't really speak from experience, but I always here it's better to learn with others rather than alone," Charles said, "Keeps us from making the same mistakes over and over, eh?"

"You're probably right THERE," Will nodded, considering.

"Maybe set up another practice session then, eh?" Charles asked.

"Maybe something like that. I should probably just suck it up and go."

"Minnesota wisdom says it would be better than a poke to the eye at the very least, eh," Charles smiled. "Though... maybe that parallel isn't so great."

"Why would anyone want to get poked in the eye?" Will said, confused. He cocked his head unnaturally.

"I guess it's just to say that no matter what something can't be as bad that, right?" Charles asked.

"Oh, things can always be worse," Will nodded. "Well, almost always."

"True," Charles said, "Mean fire could always starting raining from the sky, eh?"

Will looked lost in thought for a moment.

"Has that...happened?"

"I've never seen it happen, but stranger things have, eh?" Charles asked.

"Oh. I just...."


Will shook his head. "Nevermind. Weird thoughts."

"I turn into some kind of insect like thing with tentacles that vomits acid," Charles said, "Cannot be that weird, eh?"

"Why would that be considered weird?" Will asked.

"Most people don't far as I know," Charles said with a shrug. "So it's weird when people do, I guess, eh."

"Oh. I don't think it's all that weird, really."

"Yeah. It's just another thing you can do, you know? Nothing strange about that."

"Wish you could get people back home to think that, eh," Charles said, "They tend to be a bit leery of tentacles and claws where there aren't supposed to be tentacles or claws."

"But...you're supposed to have tentacles and claws."

"I know that and you know that, but they are pretty sure that's not really how things are supposed to work," Charles said, "Bit close minded of them, but it is what it is, eh?"

"Yeah, that's really dumb.

Who are you supposed to be if not you?"

"Just like everybody else," Charles said, "Not growing claws or vomiting acid at things. Just a kid who plays hockey, goes to school, and whatever else it is that normal people do."

"I don't really see why that's normal. Seems kinda arbitrary to me."

"Yeah, guess it does," Charles said, "It isn't like that where you're from?"
