Exhaustion!

[morganknight]

After fighting in a massive planetary battle -- well, less 'fighting' and more 'healing people, occasionally from literal death' -- the Akashic was, in a word, exhausted.

Not necessarily physically; regardless of how grueling shifts in Medbay might be at the moment, he made a point to stick to his schedule, sleep plenty, eat (ugh) enough gruel, and keep his body in shape. Not necessarily mentally either; good health and self-care, along with meditation and discipline, helped in that matter as well.

There was just a certain level of core, deep, ground-in exhaustion that couldn't be banished that easily, though. So that left only one thing to do for the best relaxation:

Snowboard in the sensorium.

Who wants in on this?

Rachel prepped herself to take the hill again with no comment, before she rose an incredulous eyebrow to Morgan's assurance that it was okay if she didn't get it at first. She took that as a kind of challenge, honestly. She was sure she could do it.

"Right, we'll see how it goes," she said, flippantly, before starting off. And, okay, maybe she was a little bit more unsteady with this, being unused to it. But she was determined to rock.

She reminded him, just a little, of himself when he'd started learning. Of course, he'd been much worse, and very quick to anger and criticize himself when he hadn't lived up to his own arbitrary standards.

Well, lessons learned in time... He started down the hill after her, watching. The first turn would be key.

Rachel was wrapped up in her own world, for the moment, not thinking much on Morgan. Focus was important, and she knew that, especially since she was just starting out. On the first turn she went a little sharp-- nearly lost herself, but she fought to right herself, gain back some of her gymnastics balance. She probably saved herself from the tumble, though it was close.

((ooc: Sorry I took ten yearsss for this. And I hope this tag is okay dfgdfg. Feel free to assume stuff if you want!))

He let out a low whistle. Morgan found that impressive! It was much easier to not fall than it was to recover from a fall, especially starting out, so props to her.

Rachel smiled smugly to herself when she heard that whistle, rushing down to the bottom of the hill. Just don't let her get too cocky, Morgan. She stopped herself as best she could, still a little shaky.

"Good recovery there," he said as he slid to a picture-perfect stop next to her. "You see what I was saying about when you were most likely to catch an edge, though?"

[pretty_lethal]

"Thanks," Rachel said, flashing a smile at that. Then she nodded. "Right. I think I could feel it."
