That was right, this was supposed to be another full meeting of the LDGC, or something like that. "Well, it's still early yet," Meche said, trying to be reassuring. "Maybe she just got a late start." She'd never heard about any monsters appearing in the patient blocks, so Hokuto should have a pretty safe trip, Meche told herself. She might be moving a little slower than usual because of her injuries, or maybe she'd run into a friend on the way. There shouldn't be any reason to worry yet, right?
Or was tonight one of the nights when they kidnapped--
No, she just worried too much. It would be silly to panic this soon in the night, when there were still plenty of good reasons why Hokuto might not have gotten here yet. Meche decided the best thing for now would be to keep going, and if Hokuto still hadn't shown up in a little while, they would go out and look for her.
She raised the spear again and did the first thrust slowly, just like the last few. Power coming up from the ground. Don't overshoot. The next couple of reps got progressively faster. On the third one, Meche realized she'd driven too far out again and made a little noise of frustration as she pulled back. She slowed the next thrust down before speeding up again, and kept trying until she got five reps in a row that she felt pretty good about. By then she could really start to feel it in her back and shoulders. She'd have to get stronger if she wanted to be able to keep this up for long.
