Atlas Gym, Sunday

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

After spending ALL YESTERDAY chasing a kangaroo, Wolverine didn't feel like doing exercise stuff today. Nope! Today was nap time in the gym! He had mats and pillows laid out in case anyone else needed a nap.

[OOC: No OCD. Feel free to come in and take a nap. But if you bug the lil' Wolvie, he might be cranky.]

Having lost Wade sometime during the day, Nate had started his own (cautious) exploring.

Somehow, that brought him here, to the gym, with all the mats, and the pillows, and the weirdest urge to poke the boy a lot.

So he snuck and he snuck and he snuck towards him. Carefully, and keeping an eye on everything.

Wolverine started snoring. Loudly.

Nate took that as his imperative to sneak further the last of the way. And poke him.

Still carefully.

"Gah!" Wolverine yelled, waking up and looking around for whatever just happened.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

'Whatever' being a modestly scarred young whippersnapper with his eyebrow raised and a twig in his hand. "Gah?"

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

Wolverine popped his claws out and slashed at the stick. "What'd you do that for?" he demanded.

Nate eyed what remained of the twig. Then he eyed Wolverine. "Don't do that again," he said, "Or I'll bite ya."

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"You started it," Wolverine said. "And I bite harder."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"I don't know about that," Nate replied, brandishing the remainders of his twig at him. "You were sleepin' in public. That's not safe."

He might have had a weird opinion about what 'in public' meant.

"What's not safe is poking a kid with big shiny claws," Wolverine said, brandishing said claws in retaliation.

Nate stepped backwards a little. Now the boy looked really familiar-- "You're hairier than they said."

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"Who says anything about my hairiness?" Wolverine demanded to know.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Slym does."

Slym said a lot of things.

Slym was also kind of a jackass, but at least he'd never actually forseen this one.

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"I don't know any Slim," Wolverine said. "But if I ever meet him, I'm gonna punch him for saying I'm hairy."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Nobody touches Slym," Nate replied, his eyes narrowing a little. "Don't make me bite you, hairy."

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"Why do you keep threatening to bite me, bub?" Wolverine asked.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Because you keep threatening things, too." Or because something about the wee one just had Slym's voice in Nate's head talking about senseless violence.

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"But why biting?" Wolverine asked. "Why not punching or kicking?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Because he was sick. But he wasn't supposed to tell people that. "Because I don't want to," he informed Wolvie. "I don't want to bite you, either, but I will if I gotta."

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"Look, just don't poke me and don't bite and let me nap and you won't have anything to worry about from me, okay?" Wolverine asked.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Fine," he said, frowning, "If you stay away from Slym."

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"Like I told ya, I don't even know a Slim," Wolverine said, continuing to pronounce it with an 'i' instead of a 'y.'

It was a subtle difference.
