[ enclosure ]
[ Nearly every morning (very, very early) Stephen tries to get someone to let him into the Enclosure. Waits outside, tense, restlessly rubbing his hands. And then when he's let in, he lets the environment go random: snowy mountains, rolling hills, cold desert. He runs along pathways of his own making, quick and agile, miles at a time. He only slows and stops once he's exhausted, and that takes a long time. He'll slow to a walk, maybe crouch, watch the animals and the plants interact.
Once, Stephen brings a lightweight canoe to the Enclosure, and programs it to guarantee a river. ]
[ dining hall ]
[ For breakfast, his hair's wet from taking a shower post-run. Sticking up, in odd places. He eats a lot, meats and eggs, anything that's close to a classic fry-up. He eats alone, generally, at a deliberate speed. ]
[ common areas, pool ]
[ Stephen works during the day on maintenance. He replaces light bulbs, and changes towels in the pool, and fixes tables and chairs.
He's a little distracted. There's a danger that he'll drop a light bulb, and it'll shatter. Watch out for glass.
He might come to your cabin, if there's something you need fixed. ]
[ note: prose responses are fine. ]

Enclosure
As with other times, he just lets him and hangs around non-intrusively.]

[ Stephen nods towards the mountain that looms above them. ]
Might as well start running if you get up that early.
no subject
Fine. So long as this isn't a race.
[Yep, you're getting him to run.]

[ A smirk. He's joking - but he will take it a little easier with Nick. Not that much. ]

Dining Hall
On the third hand, Stephen is up and about again, and wherever they are in their orbit right now, it seems to be good, so when Mickey sits down across from him at the dining hall, he's all smiles. "Hey." He raises a brow at Stephen's plate and grins. "What, you ran out of Healthy Choice?" His own plate, of course, is a typical horror. He tucks in with a smug look.

"Thought I might try and find a lake or an ocean in the Enclosure. Go swimming." He glances up to Mickey, making it a suggestion, an invitation for the both of them.
no subject
Which is also a little smug, because really, how can he not brag about that?
no subject
He's not really sure how to approach it when Mickey and Ian are much younger, too.
no subject
And suddenly, he can see where this is going, so he adds before Stephen can ask: "The pool in my 'hood is how mutant babies are born. That place is so toxic it's amazing anyone even survives going there. So no, I don't swim."

"Besides," he adds as an afterthought, "I know you. Swimming with you doesn't just mean some laps in the pool or whatever. You mean doing some fucking polar bear shit in a river somewhere."
no subject
"I wouldn't start you off in the Colorado River," he says. "I was thinking about the pool, abovedecks. Nice and calm, no currents, no temperatures below zero."
