Tal listened while they worked, lean muscles bunching as he hauled the logs to wherever Noe indicated. He snorted quietly at the description, though it was more in resigned amusement than anything else, and there was, perhaps, a touch of nostalgia in it. "Sounds like th'Deepfrost Shields' training grounds," he admitted. "An' th'sort o' stuff Halo's warden used t'come up with."
The title slipped out before he could stop it and he waited for the double punch of pain and anger but...
Mostly he just felt tired and too busy to linger on it, shaking his head as he dragged another large log over, lifting it onto the supports that Noe had erected. "I used t'do th'wall climb m'self." A revelation that came with a quirk of his resting frown towards a wry grin - at least for a moment. "Tryin' t'put on muscle. Guess it must've worked." He straightened up and cracked his back as the engineer secured the last log of the over-under course. Following her pointed finger, he took note of the location and went to grab the heavier studs they would need for framing up the climbing wall, leaving the lighter slats for Noe. "Have y'ever done one o' these yourself?"
