[Working out was proving to be a huge pain for Felix even after his week of recovery and re-donning his armor for additional support. The armor kept him upright and painless if he added drugs to the med-suite but it didn't get rid of the fatigue as he tried to get back to his regime. It was going to take time before he could get back up to full speed.
Which rankled him like no other thing on board the station right now. Then he realized how much trouble keeping Finn in line would be whenever the teenager began to display tons of misplaced energy from the stress of the mission riding on his shoulders. Felix kept his mouth shut, he wasn't a fucking therapist, but god he needed to find a way to keep the kid from annoying him to death in trying to help too much. That was when the idea hit him: just train the kid into exhaustion.
Except it took very little for Felix to reach his limit and Finn had energy to spare long before that came along in the day. Which meant Felix needed an extra something to add to training to settle the boy down. The solution came one evening when he saw Harrington in the hallways and Felix recalled their first meeting in the sim room. His form had been atrocious with the axe during the last mission but his orc strength had made up for it then. It wouldn't do him any good going forward now that the bonus was missing. So Felix invited Steve to train alongside Finn while the mercenary finished recovering from his injuries. Two little birdies, one well thrown knife.
So there he finally stood one evening with two kids in front of him attempting to keep his cool as they mostly chatted instead of practicing the last move he taught them. What a brilliant idea he had had. This was working out so well for him.
Well. At least he could relax against the nearest equipment for a sec while he recovered enough strength to yell at the young adults again.]
For Finn and Steve

Are you two even trying?!
