    (Pipeworks Still Hangin Around)Glamour 1 Spent

    PRE

    Pipeworks was often filled with climbing enthusiasts and adventure seekers grasping the various handholds on the climbing walls. It was a way to get the blood pumping and the adrenaline flowing. For one woman in green neoprene pants, long sleeved tunic, and sneakers it could be something else. Relaxing.

    If she wasn't waiting to be unstrapped from a harness she totally felt no need to have. She was quite confident in her climbing abilities but the staff was very serious about safety. The climb wasn't even that relaxing as it was timed, so she didn't have the chance to savor hanging form the walls.

    She sighed, "Should hath gone with the free form route."

    A giant strides quietly into Pipeworks with a ponderous tread. Totally at ease, he pays his entrance fee and then simply hangs back in the background, apparently content to watch. He is big, this giant, in both height and girth - a virtual mountain of a man dressed in jeans, working boots and checkered shirt; in another country one might say he was myth given form, but here he stood out and brazenly so: he was too big to climb, too big for athletics and gymnastics; to large for much of what Pipeworks could offer.

    Yet here he was.

    If anyone bothered him, Green's first tactic was to stare from his great height. If they persisted, he'd grunt: "I'm waiting on a friend. Giving them some moral support and stuff, yeah?" His flat tone brooked no argument. And Green turned his attention back to Morgan Origins as she practiced her climbing.

    Recently his Racoon friend had been impaled on the poisoned blade of a Fae mercenary. She had survived through luck and the wondrous fruit of the Hedge. The mountain was here for moral support. He wanted to make sure his motley mate was alright while she went, springing with ease, up a wall with crafted hand holds.

    She had barely survived the perils of the Flesh Market. He didn't want her to fall and break her neck now.

    So he watched from the sidelines.

    Morgan grumbled to herself as the staff removed the harness. Then a feeling shivered through her body: she was being watched. She'd take a look around once she got some height...and was out of the harness!

    Oh, there it went, "Thanks bye!" was quickly blurted out as she darted off to one of the free climbing walls. Morgan didn't lose momentum as she just ran several feet up it before switching to the holds. She was a good 15 feet up before she stopped to look around for whomever was watching her. It'd taken her less then half a minute to go from the floor to her vantage point. She quickly scanned the patrons, but didn't have to do so for long.

    Green...wasn't hard to notice. The Mountain was quite obvious. The worry faded at the sight of him, bringing a relieved smile to her face. She free up her right hand and widely waved wildly to her friend. She was glad to see him.

    Green didn't speak.

    He did try a smile... Which was only partially successful. Instead he raised one mighty arm, palm out. A simple gesture with a conservative economy of movement. Its lack expressed as much joy as Morgan's wild waving.

    Morgan was happy to see Green here, even if she was surprised by his presence. He didn't seem the type for this kind of sport. That and the littlest climbs were ones Green could probably reach the top of with a step ladder. Still, it helped to have a friend around, and she made sure to give him a big, two handed thumbs up. Then quickly re-latched onto the wall.

    The grinning brunette went back to her climb, the smile not leaving her face to know a friend was there.

    Morgan was going fast instead of taking her time, eager to get down to see if her friend was only watching or wanted to try. They place could have a course for big and tall customers. It was...possible. Nor did the Beast have a problem with the climb, even a hardened Mask did naught to hinder her climbing claws.

    She just needed time to scramble back down after having quickly gotten to the top of the climbing course. The high up vantage point was relaxing, more so with the knowledge that there was a stalwart Mountain below her.

    Green's face quickly resumed its usual cast. Smiling, expression emotion, was hard when one's skin was solid stone. The mountain could only keep it up for a short time. He let his arm fall slowly while he settled in the for wait. Green was patient; as patient as the very mountains.

    He would not speak till Morgan had finished her exercises and came over to him.

    He simply watched, marvelling at the Beast's quick - almost miraculous - recovery.

    The claws had made it insanely easy to go up, but it was even easier to go down: gravity was an ally now.

    It didn't her long to get down, hopping off the last few feet so she'd need not do a roll. There were a few impressed cheers from some guys but Morgan paid them no mind. Instead, still grinning, she bounced over to the Mountain, "Greeeeetings Malcolm, heh, glorious to see ye heh here," she'd caught herself, a little unsure if Green wanted to be called as such before the normans. "Art ye thinking of trying a hand at scaling something?"

    She'd not snark about it if he was. More likely, Morgan would try to give her friend pointers.

    "No. Heard you were here, yeah? Wanted to make sure you okay. Uh... The accident kind a knocked you about, yeah?"

    Green rumbled in response.

    Morgan beams a smile up a Green, "Thank thee Malcolm. And lo it...twas a most vile accident yes. I am truly grateful for," she almost said sacrifice but stopped herself. That'd turn too many norman head, "for thine assistance. I shalt ensure ye and Mhairi are not, uh," there was the phrasing issue again, "overburdened, yay that, or lost too thine debt," the struggle with the words didn't hinder the conviction she had behind it.

    Morgan even had a plan if Fairweather ran off or went into hiding. It involved raiding a military armory and was unlikely to work but she did have a plan. "And yay, I am, uh, fine. Save for a, uh, bloody bad taste in me mouth on occasion, heh heh," she then grumbled something about blood oranges and deception. "How art ye? The, uh, debts art not too grave yet I heh hope?"

    Yeah, that sounded like friends spotting a hospital bill for their idiot climbing friend. Which, from a certain point of view, was technically true.

    "Not yet."

    Green grunted.

    "Early days. Ask me when the loans come due. But we got plenty of time to prepare for that, right? Eh its all good, I guess."

    His eyes flicked from Morgan to the walls.

    "So. Uh. No lingering... um... problems... then?"
