Should be fine. Let's give it a try.

[dick. But he nods and toddles along after Chuck, spying some hand tape and wrapping his hands just in case he actually has to step in if a weight slips.]

Feels good to be in a gym again. Something familiar.

Mmmhm.

[they settle by a weight bench and Raleigh eyes the rack of weights, knowing there is no way in hell he's ready to lift again. Maybe swim. Maybe do some stretches. Maybe..actually give a shit about healing properly this time.]

There's a pool somewhere around here, too. Haven't found it yet.

Yeah? Cool, you can show me. I think it'll be good for my joints, you know?

[idly as he takes up his place near Chuck's head, letting him slids the weights on and getting into position after testing that he can actually take the weight.

Which he can.

A huge relief.]

Ready when you are, big guy.

[he'll add another ten for chuck, sliding the little disks on and capping them.]

It's your first day back here, don't get cocky.

Gimmie another ten and I'll give you more.

[Raleigh watches closely, hands hovering under the bar just in case and he hesitates on that last one.

But it's hard your first day back in the gym.]

Take a breath. You wanna do another set or want more weight?

[perfectly fine. No reason not to be. So Raleigh nods and adds another ten.]

Gimmie two sets of ten, kid.

Shit-

[not on Raleigh's watch. The bar hits his hands which are hovering and he grabs hold immediately, curling back and setting the bar in the stand with a single, fast motion. Hnngh God fuck that's heavy. And sudden. A close call.]

Careful..

[he'd ask if chuck is okay but he clearly isn't. Raleigh purses his lips before moving his hands to Chuck's shoulders, thumbs ready to dig into spasming muscle. He knows pain when he sees it.]

..where's it hurt? Here?

Here, here, I've got you. Take a big breath and let it out.

[he grasps Chuck's shoulders firm but gentle and works his hands from Chuck's soulders to his wrists and hands as they clench the bar.]

Dunno. Is it shooting pain or firey?

[asked as he works his hands over Chuck's arms, gentlt peeling one of his hands off the bar to hold, himself. He knows exactly how to massage this better.. Assuming it's what he thinks ks it is.]
