Well obviously but you know. Small talk. But there's something about him that seems quiet, content to be quiet, actually. He's no stranger to introverts and that's fine. If he can motivate even that fussy guy, this one should be a cake walk -- he's even willing and eager to begin. Good.

"Great, do you need some time to warm up?" Gladio waves him away from the busier area and leads him to his practice area - well, not really his so much as borrowed. Until someone kicks them out. He's only a contractor after all. This spot has been worn down by many feet, scrubbing the ground of any vegetation and packing down the soil until it was hard and lifeless. Might as well pave it. There's a rack with weights of all kinds, a dummy planted into the hard earth. In terms of practice areas, it's spartan to say the least. This is certainly no gym, but judging from the dull cracking sound, there's a shooting range not too far away.

"There's a few ways I like to get started - you could either tell me or show me you usual exercise routine. Showing me will give me a better idea of your fitness level. You can start by telling me what you do."

Gladio's observation was correct. Otabek was quiet, especially with strangers, and he liked being that way. Still, despite it, he is glad he's here. He's ready to be able to defend himself against whatever lurks. He didn't want to have to depend on others. He never had been much for it before, so it seemed odd to start now.

"I don't need to," Otabek notes. "I went on a run this morning." Which meant he stretched, as well, to prepare his body for the run. He follows Gladio towards the practice area. There's all sorts of equipment, many things he didn't use, or used rarely. He considered Gladio's question, eyeing the equipment.

He's quiet for a few moments, considering how detailed the other wants him to be. "I wake up early. Stretch." Nothing too intense, but enough to make his muscles feel warmer before he started running. "Go on a run. Usually five kilometers. Push-ups, sit-ups." He would consider himself fairly fit, even when standing next to someone considerably larger than himself. "My experience with some of the equipment is minimal," he admitted.
