C'tirr entered the gym and looked around. He wore loose fitting leggings to cover the braces on his legs and lower back. He had replicated a copy of Cass's marine t shirts but in his size. It was comfortable to work out in had found out. He moved over to an upper body machine and set it for 75 pounds (34 kg). He sat down and laid the cane he had used down next to him. He took a deep breath before he started exercising his upper body. He needed to regain his strength to be of help again. He felt useless being medically unfit for duty at this time. He knew if he could regain at least 75% of his previous strength he might be allowed to be on limited duty.

C'tirr stopped after the first rep of 25. He glanced around and smiled. They hadn't noticed he had slipped out but he wanted to push himself to get better quicker. He shifted on the machine, the braces making it slightly uncomfortable. He just blocked it out and started into the second rep.

Thex was humming an Orion dancing tune to herself as she stepped through the doors to the gym. Clad in her usual Starfleet gym shorts and tank top the Andorian kept up her ability to look good in anything. Seeing the Ensign on the upper body machine she gave him a polite smile. " Morning." She said as she moved to one of the neighbouring benches.

"G' morning." C'tirr replied as he paused in his rep to watch the door a second. "You didn't see any medical offices looking for anyone did you?" He asked as he turned his head to look at the Andorian female that had joined him.

" Nope, no medical staff out and about." Thex said as she adjusted the weight before taking her place. " Why, you snuck out of medical." She added with a cheeky smile on her face.

C'tirr nodded as he restarted the reps he had stopped when Thex. "Yeah, I was in a coma long enough for muscle dystrophy to take effect. Dr. Hawthorne would be livid if she knew I was here right now. Says I need water therapy. I hate water." He said the last word with a growl and an agitated swish of his tail.

" Felines and water..." Thex said with a grin on her face as she kept on with her own exercise. " I love it honestly. Trained myself how to free dive. What put you in a coma?" she inquired.
