Vic [Wednesday Morning]
Sophie - as their assigned simulated infant was inevitably called - was both a very practical creature, and an artist of chaos theory. Just when Noah thought he had her schedule down she would change things on him. Even attempting to calculate all the known variables usually left his numbers off by a good 60 minutes. Which was frustrating and challenging all at once.

It was also the reason he was soothing a squalling mass of sophisticated artificial intelligence at four-thirty in the morning in Victor's room. They'd learned fairly early into the project Victor did not respond well to being awoken to cater to Sophie's needs. So Noah had taken to sleeping in the spare bed - as Victor currently did not have a roommate - to spare the hinges on the doors in getting to her as quickly as possible.

	"Yeah, I'll take a pass on the meditation, exercise and run and just stick to shower and breakfast," Vic answered, grimacing...and still trying to keep his gaze above the damned belt because Noah still hadn't moved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Noah couldn't understand how so many skipped all the important parts. Was it any wonder so many fell ill or were lethargic? "It is a healthy routine," he informed him. "You are slowing your metabolism and encouraging lethargy and physio-disharmony by denying your body limbering exercises before beginning your day." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vic flopped back against the headboard, Sophie still cradled against his chest and apparently falling asleep as she finished the last of her bottle. "Noah, the only limbering exercises I'm interested in to start my day involve being naked with another warm body," he answered, looking determinedly up at the ceiling.

"That cannot be very--Oh." He thought about it. "I suppose it could be a healthy alternative to lack of motivation. Given an optimal state of climate and environment, rate of activity, duration, diet, weight and general health of both partners, sexual activity and intercourse could burn several hundred calories. Engage several muscle groups at once, improve balance and core stability...You'd have to be dedicated though."

	"It's so worth the dedication," Vic answered, shifting just enough to see Noah's face again and grin at him. "Way more than running or meditation." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A properly executed exercise routine is far more beneficial for your body. As is meditation. It clears the mind and prepares it for the tasks to come." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My mind and body do just fine getting up at six-thirty," Vic pointed out. "You do realize you could probably sleep fourteen hours a day, never exercise, and eat nothing but cake and you'd probably be just as fit and strong, right?" he added as he offered the 'empty' bottle back and shifted a now sleeping Sophie to lay against his chest.

	Noah took it, a slight look of disgust on his face. "What use would that lifestyle be?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doctorlizardo 2011-05-05 01:21 am UTC (link)
	"I'm just saying," Vic shrugged. "All the running and exercising and getting up early and stuff? Probably aren't actually doing anything for you...except filling the time you run and exercise and stuff." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They serve a functional purpose," he assured him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If you say so." Vic patted Sophie's back absently, forgetting for the moment that she wasn't real with the warm weight of her on his chest as he leaned back. "Far as I'm concerned, so does sleeping 'til 6:30. And sex. Sex definitely serves a functional purpose." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course it does." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vic smirked. "Not that one," he pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I figure you're probably thinking making babies," Vic pointed out, still smirking, and patting Sophie by way of illustration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	modernmarvel 2011-05-05 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"And you aren't." That much had been made quite clear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doctorlizardo 2011-05-05 02:09 am UTC (link)
	"Exactly." Vic grinned at him. "There's exercise, relaxation, stress relief, mood elevation." He was trying to rattle things off the way Noah did, as if the practical benefits were necessary to justify the activity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Noah simply cocked his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What?" Vic asked, mirroring him while still grinning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"How is this amusing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doctorlizardo 2011-05-05 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"Noah, it's, like, five in the damn morning. My brain isn't functional. Just about anything that isn't Sophie crying or me having to actually get up and do something is amusing. Not to mention you not seeming to believe that sex can do all of those things is, honestly, pretty amusing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The latter. You have already sufficiently explained the former." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doctorlizardo 2011-05-05 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"Because it's true," he pointed out. "But you're never going to believe it until you find out for yourself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
