( Parkour again? Kate's brows raise at the mention, the urge to say me too a fleeting one she pushes away while dropping into splits, stretching forward until her fingers touch her toes. )

Second person who's said that. It popular here or summat?

( Maybe that's why the Kate that Jean person knew created a whole gym for it, in that other place. It's weird to think about that for too long, to imagine the decisions made by an older version of herself which led to her founding a parkour gym. But here, now, in Ellipsa, every person talking about it only serves to make that space feel claustrophobic, leaves her thinking about how there'll always be a risk of running into someone here.

Ugh. This is stupidly complicated. She'll just shelf that for the moment, focus on the stretching instead, pulling her legs back to centre and pushing herself back to her feet. )

...Sure.

( She's not expecting it to be necessary, but she'll keep that in mind. )

Eh, really? I'm not sure about anyone else here ... [ As much as Korone loves people, long gone are the days where she could be called a social butterfly. That was Aoko's thing. ] I got into it 'cuz of my brother; he's big on obstacle courses, and it all spiralled out from there.

[ And it was practical. Very, very practical. Parkour has saved her life more than once. ]

[ She finally straightens up. ]

Mm, that's better. I'm good to go whenever you are.

( ... Damn, it would have been nice to know some concrete numbers, but Kate can't expect Korone to know everything, she supposes. Besides, maybe one day they'll be able to bond over being ex-social butterflies.

So, all Kate does is nod. Stretch out once or twice more, and straighten up. )

Ready.

( Let's do this thing, then! )
