(Sorry I just have more ideas for this scene lol)
"4'998....4'999....5'000" Lance muttered, before collapsing onto the ground, breathing heavily, sweat pouring from his body.
"Good job." David said. He reached out his hand, helping the man to his feet.
"...was...that...it?" Lance muttered, panting heavily.
David cocked his head, looking at Lance with a confused expression.
"erm...that was supposed to be the warm-up before our stretches. We still got a lot more to do."
Lance groaned, but slowly nodded.
"...First off, we gotta figure out what exercises would be best for your body type...can ya go ahead and take off your shirt for a bit?" David said, glancing at him.
Lance nodded tiredly, slowly removing his shirt, his coat falling to the ground. David walked up, looking him over for a few moments.
"...so the good news is, you ain't unathletic. I guess working as a mercenary let ya get some muscle on ya bones at least. I guess swinging swords and throwing daggers does give ya some kinda work out." David said, nodding slowly.
"...yeah...ya kinda stringy...but we can definitely work with this..." David said, smiling at Lance.
"....alright....thank you...David" Lance said, still panting a bit from the earlier workout.
"No Problem. gimme a second to get somethin. be right back" David said. He walked away from the room for a while, before returning with a pen and paper, quickly scribbling a few things down.
"...so I'm going to recommend...a full-body workout. It's gonna be pretty intense...but if ya want to get stronger in a shorter time, ya gonna need to put the time and work in, alright?" David said, glancing at Lance.
"...A...Alright. I'm ready" Lance said, he was hesitant but refused to back down now.
"...hell yeah!" David said, smiling at Lance, he handed the man the paper, which involved a large variety of exercises, David using his masterful knowledge of the human body to design a routine that would lead to the maximum amount of progress for someone of Lance's body type.
Lance stared at the paper for a bit, gulping audibly as he looked down the list.
"...Lance...I'm going to be real. This is probably going to suck when you first start out. That's just how working out is. it's gonna be a shock to ya body and ya probably gonna feel like shit." David said, scratching his head.
"....ya gotta stick with it though. That's the important part here, alright?"
Lance nodded.
"...I...I get it, David. I'm ready for anything you throw at me!" Lance said.
David nodded. Slowly, he walked Lance through the set, showing him the proper form and intensity for all of the exercises, as well as pointing out which muscle group he was working out.
"...alright, ya got it? Repeat that set three times, and ya got your workout." David said.
Lance nodded.
"...understood, David. I'll start right away!" Lance said.
David watched Lance work out for a while, occasionally correcting his form or giving him words of encouragement. Eventually...he finished the workout, Lance collapsing onto the ground, breathing heavily.
"...Alright, take five for the day, Lance. Ya did good. Same time tomorrow?" David said, smiling down at the man.
Lance said nothing, barely holding back from throwing up. He glanced up at David and gave a weak nod, before falling unconscious.
"....a lot of people would have quit after that...glad he's serious about this sorta thing" David thought. He gingerly grabbed Lance from the ground, before tossing him over his shoulder, carrying him to one of the empty beds. He put several large water bottles and protein bars next to the man, before leaving him to his rest.
"....So this is where you ran off to..." A voice called from the hallway.
David glanced away from Lance for a moment, looking towards the voice he knew so well. Masayoshi stood across the hall, smiling warmly at him.
"Honey! How are ya doing!? ya didn't get to banged up during the invasion, right?" David asked, walking up to the woman, wrapping her in a hug.
"I'm fine! you worry too much about me, David!" Masayoshi said lightheartedly, floating up to kiss David on the cheek. It was a bit of a lie, she had taken significant injuries like everyone else. Various gashes and bruises littered her body, and she limped slightly as she walked.
"...I know, I know. I'm glad you're alright." David said, smiling down at her. Though the worry on his face was still present.
"...did you check up on Gabriel? How is she doing?" Masayoshi asked.
"...yeah, she was pretty banged, but she'll live. Yharon gave her some pain killer or somethin, she should feel a bit better after some rest. " David said.
"...I'm glad." Masayoshi said, smiling at him.
The couple continued to talk for a long while, before eventually heading into one of the rooms, drifting off to sleep together.
