*once they're past the treeline she lets go of his hand and puts an arm around his waist* Everything go okay today?

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:44:14 PM)
*He walks with her through the underbrush, for a long time just enjoying the time holding her hand and the silence with her.* Everything was good today. I had a couple of students that met their weight goals at the weigh in. This one guy Blake, he's come so far. He was a couch potato and now he has a nicely forming 6 pack.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:44:58 PM)
*she smiles* That's great. Get him to tell his friends that they ought to come to the gym too.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:46:41 PM)
*He smiles and offers to help her over a downed tree in the path.* Blake is one of my biggest fans. I don't think I could get him to shut up about the place if I paid him.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:47:48 PM)
*she nods, taking the help gladly with the heels* What about the other ones? Are they telling people too? I mean, I thinkt hat's probably your best advertisement since people can see the results.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:49:27 PM)
We are getting a lot of word of mouth right now. Sven is really doing a good job. *He looks around and decides that the little clearing they had found would work. He sets down the basket and grabs the blanket to spread it out.* The problem is that there is a drop out rate due to the complexity.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:51:28 PM)
*she shrugs some, crouching down to help with the blanket, smoothing her side down as much as possible* Don't you think that won't matter much in the long run? I mean, it's already building up and it took some time. I don't think it will stop, Bastian. *she kneels down on the blanket and pulls the basket over*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:53:02 PM)
*He takes is jacket off and folds it like a pillow to set next to her then sits down on the blanket indian style.* It's a war of attrition in a way. So long as our new signups are greater than our dropouts, we win.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:54:08 PM)
*she nods* Right. The videos ought to help with that. *she opens the basket, pulling out plates and forks, even cloth napkins*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:55:55 PM)
*He smiles.* Alexei says that he has had to field calls wondering who the hot chick is in the video.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:56:50 PM)
*her eyes narrow some, looking at him after pulling out the container with the salad* Seriously?

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:58:31 PM)
I'm serious. He said he says "that's my sister" in the overprotective brother voice and most don't respond but hang up quickly.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 10:59:04 PM)
*she starts to smile a little* Well, tell him thank you for watching out for me.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:01:16 PM)
*He reaches in the basket to get out the salad and dish it up for them.* I fear for any boy that ever calls for Emma at the Gym.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:02:00 PM)
Me too. Or happens to find her on one of her nights out with her uncles. *she looks at him* Or her dad.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:04:17 PM)
*He smiles.* I promise not to scare them all away... just the weak ones, or the anxious ones.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:05:28 PM)
Don't forget the morons. *she pulls out some apples too, for dessert* I brought wine...and water. I didn't know what you'd want? *pulling out two small cups too*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:06:44 PM)
Concidering the wonderful company and evening I think I can spare to drink a little wine tonight. *He dishes her plate then his and purposefully takes the first bite so she won't wait for him.*

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:07:31 PM)
*she smiles and takes out the small bottle, getting it open and pouring some into each cup* How's the tuna steak? Done enough?

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:08:28 PM)
mmmm flaky, still moist, good seasoning. *he nods.* I'm no chef but, that tastes good.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:08:59 PM)
That is what matters. *she puts her napkin on her lap and starts on her own*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:10:56 PM)
*He smiles at her. In truth he would eat burnt meals and lie about them if it kept her smiling but, he did enjoy the meal as he ate it with his usual abandon.*

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:12:10 PM)
You can still make the recital tomorrow, right?

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:13:40 PM)
Yes, of course. I even had my tux sent to the cleaners to be pressed.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:14:35 PM)
*she smiles, and nods* Good. Just checking with things being busy all around ....

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:15:27 PM)
I'll sneak away for a while to make sure to be there. I even ordered roses.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:15:59 PM)
That's what you are suppose to do right, bring roses for the dancer?

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:16:31 PM)
*she nods in response and smirks* I did too, just in case. That's all right. You can give her two bunches. That will make it even better, I'm sure.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:19:41 PM)
*He grins.* I get to be proud papa. *He then sips his wine, letting it wash down his dinner.*

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:21:03 PM)
*she finishes her salad* It isn't hard to be proud of her. She's come so far. *she looks at him* Thank you for letting us help her. I'm glad we could.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:23:12 PM)
She's a blessing. How could I ever look myself in the mirror if I did not help someone such as her?

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:24:24 PM)
That's very true. *she wipes at the corners of her mouth with the napkin, gathering up the plates to put things back in the basket*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:25:21 PM)
*He helps clean up. During which he runs a hand up her calf lightly.*

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:26:46 PM)
Thank you. *smiling, taking the last of the dishes from him, stowing them in the basket and shutting it, moving it aside*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:29:19 PM)
*He smiles and nods.* No, thank you... it was a great meal. *He takes an apple and cuts it with a knife then offers her a slice.*

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:29:53 PM)
I'm glad you liked it. *taking the slice to have a bite*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:32:53 PM)
*He slices off a piece and pops it into his mouth as he lays on his side and props himself up with his elbow.* So, how was your day?

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:34:26 PM)
Quiet. Mike sent some of us over this way to ....uh....do some odd jobs and such. *she shrugs, and mouths "patrol" to him*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:35:34 PM)
Oh... well that's good. You deserve a quiet day once and a while.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:36:23 PM)
Definitely.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:37:52 PM)
*she looks at him and smiles, leaning in to give him a kiss*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:38:10 PM)
*He crooks a finger at her for her to lay down with him.* Do you think Kaia will be ready for bear season?

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:38:45 PM)
*He kisses her back and pulls her a little closer to him.*

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:39:39 PM)
*she scoots over to stretch out next to him after the kiss* I think so. She says she's going to practice at least. That won't make her ready for when the bears actually show up, but I don't know that anyone's ever really ready for something like that.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:41:57 PM)
You were ready. *He wraps a big arm around her and runs his hand up and down her side from thigh to shoulder and back.*

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:42:54 PM)
I didn't feel ready. There's a difference.

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:45:10 PM)
Well you could have fooled me... Of course I was taking a nap.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:46:26 PM)
Yeah. Shirking responsibility. You're lucky I listened to your instructions earlier that evening. I didn't let anybody get away. Not even you. *resting her hand on his side*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:47:42 PM)
*He leans in to kiss her cheek* You're too good to me.

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:48:30 PM)
Eh...I'm a sucker for a pretty face. And faux hawks. *she smirks at him*

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:51:33 PM)
Damn, and all this time I thought you were after my body...

Elise Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:53:17 PM)
*her hand moves to his chest, looking him over* Yeah, maybe that too...

Bastian Schmitz (May 20, 2011 11:55:20 PM)
*He rolls onto his back and pulling her on top of him. His hands gravitating to her ass to give both cheeks a firm squeeze.* I won't lie. I noticed your body, who wouldn't? But, it was your eyes that did me in.
