Cye's Turn

That evening, after dinner, James joined Cye in the barn/Gym that the Ronin's had set up a short distance away from the Manor House. Cye was patiently waiting for him.

"I'm going to show you some aerobics and some stretching. Kento will want to give you a workout with the weights, but I feel that, as important as strength is, you also need to be flexible. Without that, you can be as strong as an ox, but if you can't move, then you are a sitting duck" Cye explained.

James quietly listened to what Cye had to say. "I'm afraid that the work schedule I have doesn't leave me with a lot of free time for exercise. I do what I can, when I can, but its not like I have the amount of time that you do Cye" he told the Ronin of Trust.

Cye nodded in understanding. "I do understand! That's why I worked up a schedule for you. It is easy to follow and easy to do. AND you can do it in your spare time. Just watch and I'll show you what I mean" Cye told his pupil.

Cye demonstrated what he had meant, and then had James do it. To his surprise, James was able to do it without a major amount of worry and strain.

"Just remember to do that before you start on your weight training with Kento. He may come across as a food loving person" which caused James to break out in a chuckle "BUT he does know what he's talking about when it comes to strength and muscles" Cye told him.

James nodded, knowing that Cye would not be telling him this for just any reason. "I do have a question Cye? Did you ever look over that recipe that I gave the group the first day that I arrived?" he asked.

Cye nodded. "Yes, I did. Why do you ask?" enquired the bearer of the Torrent armor.

"Well, with the weekend coming up, I will have some free time. I've just about caught up with the preliminary calls that I have, and I'd like to do something special. I'd like, with your help, to cook dinner for everyone here" James offered.

"That's a pretty big chore. You sure that you want to do that" Cye stated, his accent coming across stronger than usual, as he looked James straight in the eye.

"I'm sure. Besides, it would give you and Mia a break, as well as allowing me to show my gratitude for all that you; Mia, Twyla, and everyone else have done for me. So, are we on or not?" James asked.

"We're on. We'll do the shopping Saturday afternoon" Cye told him.
