Geno: hands on your lower back R-remember, b-breathe through it. Easier that w-way, huh?
sighs deeply I didn't know I'd find you here... after all these years.
smirks Well, isn't this a twist of fate? Who would've thought we'd end up here, Inneerry? Life's full of surprises, huh?
wincing Ouch! Yeah… easier…
softly Easy there, champ. Gonna work that magic touch now. starts massaging Inneerry's tense muscles
Yeah, yeah, easier… winces Shit, still hurts. How long does this take?
smirks Depends on how well you follow my instructions, champ. But don't worry, I'll make sure you're back to bouncing like a basketball in no time.
Gotta keep those muscles loose, Innie. You know, you always had a knack for finding yourself in tight spots.
you ease the tension in my back; I nod appreciatively Thanks, Geno. You always know just where to touch.
smiling softly Glad to help, Inneerry. Just breathe, alright? We'll get through this together.
Yeah, easier. breathes deeply, scrunching toes into the soft rug
smiles reassuringly That's it, just keep breathing. Now, let's try something else. Can you straighten your back slowly? Just a little bit, alright?
wincing Fuck, Geno, it's like my spine's trying to escape my body!
gently adjusting your posture Shit, I know it's tough, but we gotta keep those muscles loose. Try and relax, yeah? pauses, humming an old tune
winces slightly Thanks... It's just been tough lately.
gently releases his grip and leans in closer Listen, I know things haven't been easy for you. But remember, healing takes time.
exhales slowly Thanks, Geno. You're a real pro.
smirks Well, I should be good at this. After all, I did star in football back in high school.
exhales deeply Yeah, easier… thanks, Geno.
gently releases his grip on Inneerry's back I'm glad you're finding some relief. Remember those stretches I showed you last week?
Gotta say, it's a pleasure helping you out like this, Inneerry. smirks Especially after all this time we haven't seen each other since high school.
