Later at Mr. Smoothie...
Rook watches as Ben downs a smoothie from his favorite smoothie shop, Rook takes a moment to down a drink himself, when Ben asked, "So Rook, any word on Fistrick yet?" as he drank his smoothie.
Rook simply turned to him with a frown, saying, "There is no news of Fistrick at the moment. Most likely he has gone into hiding to let his trail go cold." Rook then sighed taking a sip from his own smoothie.
"Great.. " Ben said, "Now how are we supposed to find-" Suddenly Ben felt odd...
Rook looked at Ben as the pause in his sentence was somewhat alraming, "Why did you pause Ben?" Rook asked, "Is this one of your so called Jokes?"
"No, it's just..." Ben said, "I feel really weird..."
Rook turned to look at Ben and he didnt look very different. He thoought that maybe Ben's shirt looked a bit tighter than usual but he chalked that up to him changing up his style. He asked, "Well, maybe we need to get you checked out? Is it possible you ordered a bad Smoothie?"
Ben then took another lights up from his smoothie then said, "It doesn't seem off to me." Ben smiled, but then that smile was gone as he then wiped his forehead with his arm. Rook took notice of this, Hmm maybe you are hot? you seem very frantic." He gave Ben another look over his seemingly slightly more well built than his usual self.
"Yeah, I do feel a bit warm," Ben said to him.
As Rook continued to examine Ben, he asked, "Hey have you been, how do you say 'hitting the gym'?" punching the air between them as he tried to get his point across.
"Uh, no not really?" Ben asked, confused, "Why?"
"Well, from my talks with Kevin, You seem a bit more, um, Swole?, I have only heard Kevin use that term when working out but I have been noticing it a bit on you," Rook gestured to all of Ben's body, though mainly his arms.
Ben looked down to hos body and was shocked at what he saw, "Whoa!! What the- !?"
Rook raiseds an eyebrow as his companions reaction was a cause for slight alarm, "So you havent been 'Hitting the gym'?" Rook asked, concerned, once more gesturing to Ben's body as the clothes seem tighter than before. A small bit of his middle section showing from the bottom of his shirt, "You do seem quite well built for someone who hasn't been doing so."
"Well, I don't know where all of this extra muscle came from!" Ben said, still shocked at what's going on.
