"Huh..." Tusk muttered as he turned to Pepper and looked her over. "I'll say. Feel free to try and crush my head whenever you want."

Long, in the mean time, had started working out with another machine that would be more difficult for Pepper to sabotage him with.

Pepper smirked as her eyes drifted down for a moment before meeting his eyes again, "We should fight sometime," she decided.

"Eh, I'm busy the rest of the day," Tusk sighed as he started stretching.

"Boo," Pepper replied, "I wish I was busy."

Tusk shrugged as he went to lift some weights.

Pepper pinched Tusk's rear as she started to head out.

Tusk let one of the weights slip out of his hand on purpose and then caught it again playfully with a smirk.

Pepper was smirking as well and continued to do so as she left the weight room.

Eventually Nic called it quits and went back to whatever he was doing.

Fin fiddled around in the Juttle, alternating between reading and trying to figure out how Frei sorted the clothes.

So Laurel went to find Raven.

Raven was alone in the garden, weeding some plants.

Laurel walked over and squatted down beside him. And since she wasn't a woman of few words, she got right to it. "Did you know Nic's brother is here?" she asked.

Raven paused for a long moment before nodding and going back to weeding.

"Nic thinks we should erase his memory and throw him back," she explained, "What do you think?"

Raven kept weeding, taking some time to think about it. "I'm... not sure," Raven replied.

Laurel fell silent for a moment, "Are you glad you stayed?" she asked after a moment.
