Laz quickly located a dical room that was currently unused, snuck in and grabbed a sling for his arm. As he couldn’t move it and it looked weird, he knew he needed to have a cover for it and this seed the best solution. People would see it, but not question it.
That was an easy problem to take care of and paled in comparison to the monster sized problem he now had.
This was a couples cruise and he was obviously here alone. There were enough people on the ship where he could disappear and blend in, but at so point soone who shouldn’t notice might notice. While there was nothing to fear to his safety, he was hoping to have so more recovery ti before he got noticed.
An empty room was easy to find so he moved in. While it looked like the ship was full, there were always empty rooms for various reasons in so parts of the ship. He just happened to take one room that was empty near so others that were occupied, this way he wouldn’t stand out as much as he would have if he had taken an empty room near a group of empty rooms. Since the room was suppose to be vacant, he wouldn’t have the pleasure of being able to order room service or get maid service, but that was nothing but a mild inconvenience. There were buffets and open bars all over the ship. He would just have to avoid anything that involved needing his room key, at least until he was able to swipe one.
As for why he wasn’t flying off for shore? He could, but again, recovery ca first. He didn’t know what Jun had done, but even if he did, it didn’t matter. Enemies were aware of his presence and he knew that ant keeping his head down for now. He didn’t think he would be forgiven just because he had fought with the chosen to keep the dragons and lizard n from invading the world. And since all of these things had happened while the cruise was taking place, barely anyone on the ship had paid attention to the happenings of the world and therefore Laz’s face wasn’t known here yet. This was the perfect place for him to recover even if he didn’t know by just how much that was true.
Since he had his storage ring with him, he just transferred it from his right hand to his left as though it was a wedding band. He then changed his clothes and got into so cooler clothing. While this was the storm season in the Antarctic, he soon discovered he was on a boat on the pacific ocean and the weather was surprisingly warm. As for where exactly they were located, it was sowhere off the shore of south Arica, but he had no idea where.
Right now, it was warm in the sun, but not hot enough to take part in the outdoor water park. Instead, there were dance classes and various exercise activities taking place on deck while the inside pools and water parks provided for those looking for wet attractions. The one saving grace that Laz was thankful for was that this was a couples cruise and there were almost no children on board.
Laz eventually found a nice deck chair and stretched out, absorbing so sunlight that he had been missing from being trapped in the base. He was wearing so baggy shorts, sandals and a button up Hawaiian shirt that he had forgotten he had. Although it was dress more for a Caribbean environnt, it didn’t look very out of place here.
Closing his eyes, he could hear the yoga instructor who was leading a class further down the deck.
"Alright everyone, now bend downward and stretch your back and arms as far as possible to touch those toes. We want you to be as limber as possible before we get into the harder stuff," she said while the groups of couples did as asked.
’Seems like the class is just getting going considering they are even doing any yoga at the mont,’ Laz thought to himself as he relaxed.
It had been a while since he was able to let himself go this much. There was no conflict here and therefore he was free to lower his defenses for the first ti in months.
The class went a total of forty five minutes before the instructor had them all wrap up. Seems they had been eting every other day at this ti since the cruise began and had been making so slight progress. It wasn’t like this was a real hardcore class, but at least the people doing it were committed to it, even though Laz could see that it was usually the female of the relationship who was dragging her husband here when the husbands actually ca. Despite it being a couples cruise, there were many won who were here by themselves as it seed there husbands were off doing sothing else during this ti.
The instructor ended up coming towards Laz and sat down on a chair several chairs away from him. She pulled out a towel and wiped the bit of sweat off her face, the heat from the sun more of a cause that the exercises themselves. Several of the won ca up to ask her questions one after another and she happily answered all of them before they either took off alone or went back to their husbands to say sothing to them before dragging them off sowhere else.
The attractive young blond let out a bit of a sigh after they had all left her alone, a clear sign she wasn’t as happy and bubbly as she let on to be to her class of middle aged won who were not nearly as in shape as they’d like to be.
"A month of doing this isn’t going to make you magically lose fifty pounds. Sure, drink your health drinks now... but then you go off eating a full dinner of fried, fatty foods five hours later... fucking hell, I’m not a miracle worker..."
The woman then seed to sense sothing and looked up, only to notice Laz was resting several chairs down and laughing silently at her words.
"Oh! I’m really sorry. I didn’t an that... It was just a bit of mumbling to myself about nothing in particular. Don’t mind . Please continue to enjoy your rest!" She said, obviously wishing she hadn’t spoken out loud. She didn’t want to be called in by her boss and scolded for complaining about her clientele.
"You’re fine. Sotis you’ve got to let it out when you can so you don’t lose it when you shouldn’t. Don’t mind . My lips are sealed," Laz responded with a chuckle.
"Thanks. I know you’re enjoying the rest, but you should feel free to co over and bring your significant other if you want. I know it’s not the start of the cruise, but we don’t have any strict requirents on when people co and when they don’t," the blonde said, obviously trying to gather up more ’students.’
Laz raised his right arm to show the sling that encompassed it.
"Thanks but I was ordered to take it easy for a while," Laz said before putting his arm back down.
"Ah. I see. Well, yoga isn’t exactly about pushing your body to the limit. It’s about finding out what your limits are and expanding them. Perhaps your right arm is injured, but the rest of your body is fine and therefore able to be used. And yoga is more about diation that exercise anyway which is a much better form of rest that just sleeping," she then suggested.
Laz couldn’t help but chuckle again and he had to give it to her. diation would be a better use of his ti that just sleeping away underneath the sun.
"Perhaps your right. I might not be able to convince my significant other, but if I’m welcod, then I will co tomorrow," Laz replied, causing the blonde’s face to light up.
"Aweso. I’m Rachelle and this is just one of the classes I instruct. If your interested, there are others available as well, but let know how you feel after tomorrow’s session and then we can take if from there if you’d like a bit more action. See you then," Rachelle said before getting up from her seat and waving a bit as she walked by, leaving the deck after almost stumbling a little.
’Holy shit he’s ripped...’ she thought after having seen his stomach that had been hidden from her vision before she had stood right in front of him.
Laz noticed the stumble, but didn’t say anything. Instead he removed his shirt before lowering his gaze again and drifted back into a half sleep, half awake awareness, letting the light and energy of the sun suffuse him. While it wasn’t exactly energy in the sa way that now flowed on the planet, it still was energy in the end and it’s nature was helpful to Laz’s body.
Laz wasn’t the only sunbather out today as the sun was high in the sky but it wasn’t too warm, making it sowhat perfect for those who wanted so sun without feeling overly heated. While there was a tanning salon available, the natural way was still considered a bit healthier.
Laz was gathering a bit of attention due to his flawless body, sothing in short supply among these married couples who rarely had ti for such activities in their normal daily lives. Sure, so of the n were healthy and fit while so of the won were lean and beautiful, but no one was chiseled the way Laz was and that caused quite a few hungry stares to be directed his way from won who wanted what we had to offer, often tis annoying their husbands.
At one point, a waiter ca over to ask if he wanted a drink. One could have heard a pin drop as noise seed to suddenly die down, as though his drink order was sothing everyone wanted to hear.
"Sothing... wild and untad perhaps? Thrill ," Laz responded, the peace of the environnt allowing him to completely lose his tension.
Every won who heard him found themselves suddenly getting wet as their hearts beat faster and their breaths caught in their throats.
Every man who heard him found their blood boiling as the desire to roar out loud while fighting an unbeatable opponent seed to consu them.
Laz’s aura was subtly affecting everyone on the deck with him. And it would stay with all of them throughout the night, causing many happy smiles among won who had not had a night like that since they were much, much younger and happy smiles among the n who didn’t realize their wives could beco so adventurous all of the sudden.
