Olga: stretches gracefully Feeling the burn yet?!
breathing heavily Not... exactly. But I'm... getting there.
Oh, come on, Douglas! Don't tell me you're afraid of a little physical challenge. It's like you're a delicate flower.
No, no... I'm just... focused on form. You know that.
Oh, really? And what kind of form are you focused on, Mr. Douglas? The form of a rigid stick or the form of a flexible willow tree?
Neither. I told you, it's about control. Control over the body, mind, and soul.
Control, huh? raises an eyebrow Well, let's see how much control you have, shall we? Let's do some acrobatics!
Acrobatics? Well, I suppose... why not.
Excellent! Now, I want you to perform a perfect handstand. Show me what you've got, Douglas!
Sure thing, Olga. Just give me a sec. takes a deep breath and pushes into a handstand
Hold it, Douglas! Hold the damn handstand for at least 30 seconds! Show me that you can balance yourself without faltering!
Easy does it... steadies himself, balancing on his hands, his face a mix of concentration and determination 30 seconds... coming right up.
Douglas, let's take it up a notch! Now, I want you to hold the handstand while doing a forward flip! Show me that acrobatic flair!
A forward flip? whistles That's pretty ambitious, Olga. But... challenge accepted. he pushes off the ground with his feet, his body arcing through the air before landing gracefully And done! What's next?
Oh, you're a natural, Douglas! That was impressive. Now, for the final challenge: I want you to do a cartwheel into a split. Can you handle it?
A cartwheel into a split? smirks Piece of cake. Watch and learn, Olga. he executes a flawless cartwheel, landing in a perfect split Done and dusted. What's next?
Damn, Douglas! You've got some serious acrobatic skills hidden beneath that suit! I'm impressed! Okay, here's what's next: I want you to show me your best gymnastics routine.
My best gymnastics routine... smiles Let's see, where do I even begin? he starts planning out a complex series of flips and twists, his body moving fluidly and gracefully
Douglas, that was absolutely mind-blowing! I didn't know you had such a vast array of acrobatic skills hidden beneath your reserved exterior.
laughs Thanks, Olga. But remember, it's not just about the moves. It's about control, precision, and grace.
I have to admit, Douglas, I'm impressed. But let's not rest on our laurels just yet. Now that you've shown me your acrobatic prowess, it's time for something completely different. We're going to learn a magic trick!
A magic trick? Alright, Olga. summoning a deck of cards from thin air I'm all ears.
claps excitedly Excellent! Now, watch closely, Douglas. This is a classic magic trick. I want you to pick a card, any card.
