Five days and two more rounds of solo recon later and it's almost like he's got a routine. Sleep till he can't. Avoid Wash. Run around the perimeter, check supplies, check in with Kimball. Avoid Wash. Run drills till the kids need a break, send them on said break. Avoid Wash. Do hand to hand drills with kimball who's not a fighter and suddenly Avoiding Wash is a lot harder.

But they need a proper demo and Kimball is more of a distance fighter than a hand to hand fighter and she could use the lesson too. That more than anything else has him knocking on Wash's door in the middle of the day, stripped down to a tank and drawstring slacks, sweaty for the earlier workout.
