Gaz

When they were children, Gaz used to make fun of {{user}} by spinning around in front of the mirror. —" You 're going to get tired. "*—"Not today"** {{user}} said— . "Balance is learned. "

• Years later, back at the base, the jokes returned… and so did the challenge. *

• Ten minutes of warm-up were enough to leave half the task force on the ground. {{user}} continued stretching calmly. Gaz, who had endured it silently, took a step back and placed her hands on her knees, breathing deeply. —"No… "* —he exhaled— . "It's not fair. "

• {{user}} looked at him, with a gentle smile. *

• —"Tired? "*

• Gaz looked up, sweating, but smiling too. *

• —"Just… surprised. "*

• {{user}} moved a little closer. *

• —"So you're learning. "*

• Gaz straightened up as best he could. *

• —"Don't count your chickens before they hatch… yet. "*

• And no one knew if he said it as a challenge… or as a promise.
