"But, man, your levels were ridiculous! You really should look into some counseling," Rosen told Long, still hiding from him and facing the wall.

Still nothing from Long.

"Are you even listening to me?" Rosen suddenly asked.

"Yes," Long replied.

Rosen was silent for a moment, "It's rude not to reply," he noted.

"... There was nothing to reply to," Long noted.

"You know... you can actually respond to comments and not just questions," Rosen spat.

"And egg you on?" Long asked. That was what he had been avoiding.

"No! That's not what I meant!" Rosen retorted, getting egged on.

Long rolled his eyes a little.

Rosen fell quiet for awhile, "I just..." he muttered before coughing, "... you don't have you hold your tongue anymore."

Long paused before nodding a little.

Rosen still wasn't looking at him. He waited for a moment before complaining, "It's rude!"

Long sighed a little. "I nodded," he explained.

"... oh," Rosen replied before falling silent again.

Long didn't say anything else.

Wolfe finally left Frei with Raven as he went to find Fin and get his answer.

Fin was the last place anyone would look for him; he was with his brother.

Surprisingly, it was Bren who knocked on Nic's door.

"Yes?" Nic called from inside.

"Is Fin in there?" Bren called.

"Yes," Nic replied again.

"... Is he okay?" she asked, sounding worried.

"He's fine," Nic replied. There was still no sound from Fin.

Bren was silent for a moment, "Can I talk to him?"

"When he's done," Nic replied.

"... Done?" Bren asked.

"Come in and watch if you want," Nic replied.

Then finally there was a grunt from Fin. "Hey," he complained.

"Focus," Nic reprimanded Fin.

Bren paused before her curiosity got the best of her and she peeked her head inside.

Nic was sitting in a comfortable chair doing something on a pad. Fin was on the floor doing push-ups. Fin glanced to see Bren peek in. Without looking up Nic told Fin, "I told you to focus. Ten more."

"What?!" Fin groaned, turning back to Nic.

"Fifteen," Nic replied simply.

Fin bit his lip to keep from complaining as he continued.

Bren raised her eyebrows as she slipped inside. "What is he doing?" she asked Nic, "Trying to get abs?"

"First, how to do a proper push-up," Nic explained before looking up from the pad and at Fin. "Keep your back straight."

Fin grunted a little from the strain as he tried to flatten his back.

Bren giggled a little, "You don't know how to do a push up?" she asked Fin.

"Not effectively," Nic explained, looking back at the pad again.

Fin didn't look at Bren, trying to focus.

Bren sat on the floor a little away from Fin, "I bet you can do them one-handedly," she said to Nic, "And probably the clap pushups too."

Nic didn't reply, focused on his work.

Bren was silent for a little while before getting up and moving closer to Nic, "I thought you didn't like your brother." she asked quietly and a bit bluntly.

"... I don't 'care' for his company," Nic tried to clarify. Fin grunted a little; he had heard that.

Bren nodded a little, "Well you are like ten years apart," she replied in agreement, "Though you must be enjoying this just a 'tad,'" she chuckled, glancing back at Fin's pushups.

"Hardly," Nic replied as if discipline Fin was a nuisance.
