"Why not? She probably knows you the best out of everyone here," he noted.

"I don't know her that well," Long explained.

Rosen shrugged, "Maybe she knows who you're so frustrated."

Long shook his head, pretty certain that she didn't.

Rosen rolled his eyes a little, "Clearly trying to go about your typical Yin Long schedule here isn't working," he told Long, "How about we do something else?"

"I've known a strict schedule like this my entire life," Long replied, trying the kick again. "I doubt deviating from it will help."

"You've never broken it?" Rosen asked, "Like... ever?"

"Not for an extended period of time," Long explained, trying again.

"Well then a few more hours won't hurt, let's do something fun!" he complained.

"Like what?" Long asked, turning to look at Rosen before turning away again and trying the kick again. If Rosen was paying attention, Long was looking more at Rosen than he normally did. Even when he was doing the kick in front of the mirror, Rosen's reflection seemed to distract him. But Long appeared totally unaware of this.

Rosen didn't seem flustered by Long at all, "Like... you're well enough to go in the hot tub, right? I've got a knot the size of a buffalo in my back," he complained.

"You don't like my massages," he noted, still trying to focus on the kick. He seemed totally oblivious mentally.

"I like them!" Rosen argued, "But there's something so relaxing about sitting in a hot tub and being blasted with hot water, ya'know?"

"Not particularly," Long replied, head still absent. But Rosen seemed to start getting small reactions from his body that other people would be oblivious to.

Rosen was pretty oblivious himself, "Have you ever just sat in a hot tub before?" he demanded, crossing his arms.

"No," Long replied, like he thought the concept wasn't worth the time.
