Mikael does a couple more one-handed pushups and then hears Andrew hacking like an old man with a bad cough. He pushes himself up, straightening his arm completely, and moves the other arm from behind his back down to the ground. The large Highlander pulls his knees to the ground and rises up to a kneeling position, spreading his knees wide and pointing his feet inward so that the big to on each foot bare touches the other. "Enough. I cannot teach you, Andrew. You do not have even a tenth of the constitution of a half-starved orphan. If you ever want to be more than a punching bag then you are going to have to work. Here is what you will do. You will come here every day at dawn. Every day. Every day you will run one hundred laps around this facility. After you are finished, you will drop to the floor and do one hundred pushups. I care not if you have to do them from your knees like a weak little girl and I care not how long it takes you. You will do this EVERY day. And I will not show you a single technique until you can show me that you can run one hundred laps and immediately drop to do one hundred pushups without stopping. Once you have shown the dedication to do this, I will teach you. Now get out of here before I become cross enough to break your nose."
