[PRIVATE: DGFone & Thewhistlerify]

[DGFone]

AS they rolled the log, Delano looked over at Muroki. For a moment, he was shocked by the raw determination the his brother showed. Taking in a breath, Delano returned to concentrating on the log. If Muroki will be able to handle the strain, so will he.

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki just kept rolling the log along, not paying attention to anything else, not even the condition of the other team. As soon as they got to the point in which they started rolling the log back the day before, Muroki went to the other side of the log and began rolling it back.

[DGFone]

Delano knew what to expect, and the lack of surprises made rolling the logs much easier. But even still, once they finished, second again, he felt tired. Looking over, he saw Muroki trying, and failing, to look as though he wasn't tired either. "Give it up, Muroki," Delano told him when he was certain that the trainer won't hear, "you only look like an idiot trying to pretend that you're tough. We can show him that we are tougher than he thinks, but this is taking it too far." Normally, he didn't insult his brother, and as soon as he said it, he wondered why he did, but now was an exception.

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki looked at his brother, "Wasn't it you who insisted that we do this despite Kasi's warning?" he didn't really expect an answer to that question. "So what do you think we should do huh?" however he knew that his brother was right.

[DGFone]

Delano sighed at his brother's hostility, but right now, he didn't blame him. "Yes, it was me who insisted. I didn't say that wee should give up. What I am saying is that it's more useful to to look less impressive than to waste your energy trying to look tougher than you are." He said. "Like the trainer said, we aren't ready. Well, I sure am going to prove him wrong. But I am going to do it properly. Beat him at his own game." He smiled. "If anything, I would rather look worse than we are just so that we can get his hopes up, and then watch his face when he realizes that we won't crash and burn."

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki looked at the trainer for a moment to make sure he wont hear them, "How are we going to do that?"

[DGFone]

Delano grinned. "Look dead on your feet." He suggested. "But I think that we will eat first. It will help to look dead after a hard day. Besides, then it won't be much harder to fake."

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki sighed, "Okay... But what if he kicks us out as soon as he gets his hopes up?" he was really confused about how has Delano planned they would do this.

[DGFone]

Delano rolled his eyes. "I didn't say that we need to look that bad. Just bad enough." He answered.

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki looked at his brother but ignored the way he rolled his eyes, "And then what?"
