[Today in the park, Crowe can be seeing leaping about trees! Well, sort of. He's climbing up and down them as fast as he can, timing himself as he does so with a stopwatch. He's pretty fluid, and after a few runs in one tree, he has it down to a matter of seconds. Once he accomplishes that, he moves on to the next one, doing the same. He looks exhausted, but pleased once he checks his times. He's breaking his old records.

Later, he'll be found practicing a tightrope walk. He's just using a regular rope tied between two trees for now, only a few feet off the ground. He does alright but he's new at this, and falls off a lot. Most of the time he manages to land on his feet, but he does slip on occasion. But he'll get back up and try, try again. Practice makes perfect.

Crowe's been a bit closed off from everyone lately, thanks to basically living at the park. And after the droning of three of his friends in a short amount of time - the hardest on him being Massimo's - he wonders if he should have listened to Ichobod's advice from many months back about not making too many friends here. It didn't make things any easier when this happened.

Of course, this doesn't mean he isn't free for talking/ridicule/question what the hell he's up to since he's in a public park.]

Oh. Um. Practice. Trying to, uh, keep in shape. Work on my balance. That sort of thing.

...So yer climbin' trees.

[He stretches a bit as they talk.]

Ah. Yeah. Mostly I'm working on getting faster climbing, so... trees are my best bet. Each one is different, so I don't get used to the same course all the time.

...Workin' on climbin' away from somethin'? Wild bears?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles a little.] Not too many wild bears in Mayfield yet, thankfully. I'm just... keeping my skills sharp. I... I'm not really strong, and I don't have crazy powers or magic like other people in this town... Speed and stealth are about all I have. So I better keep those skills in the best shape I can.

Ya think you'll need 'em here?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] Considering some of the things this town does to us, yes. Plus, I need something to do around here. All you do is sit around and wait for them to pull their next crazy stunt...

[Like he needs more to do in his day. They boy never stops, it's why he's so exhausted.]
