After the plant incident Eein should be slowing down, but he still felt stagnating. So he kept on training, and he kept on fighting. "Ok...so....normal weights are boring," Eein would say as him and Alby made their way through the forest. "So boulders."

The young dragon had a large amount of rope around his shoulders. "I remember there being a field around here somewhere full of them," he'd stop and sniff the air a bit. "This way," he'd say before heading in said direction.

Soon enough the two came upon the field he'd spoken of, littered with the boulders. "Soooo....which should I start with?" @Mint

Alby followed along, an excited grin plastered across his face. When Eein mentioned heading out to train, he'd hopped right on board. The mention of how he was planning to train only made things more exciting. Boulders and rope? It was extreme, at least by normal standards, which was exactly what had Alby so worked up.

"That's a lotta boulders." Alby put on hand on his hip and the other just above his eyes, bending slightly and moving his gaze from one side of the field to the other. His eyes then went back to what was a pretty average boulder from the bunch. He started walking over to it and then spoke when he got near. "So can you just pick something like this up? Or how do you usually do this?" Alby chuckled. "This is unfortunately my first time seeing this."

"It's gonna be my first time doing this too," he'd admit, looking over one of the boulders. "Nah, I don't think I can lift them in human form, to bully, but I can try and drag them with the rope."

He'd press his hands against the boulder and push it a little. "This one seems light enough to start with," taking the rope he'd start to wrap it around the boulder, trying it at the front and leaving a large loop.

"This is a smaller one so should be able to dragon it," he'd slip into the loop, resting it on his chest. "And after I'm done it'll be your turn," he'd say jokingly before starting to walk and pull, the stone dragging behind him relatively easy. "I can lift two tons in human form, so this one is pretty light."

Alby was surprised to find out that Eein hadn't done something like this before. Even if it probably wasn't something most people had done. He supposed Eein was just the type of guy who would lug boulders around in the wilderness to train.

"Ah, I see, so that's where the rope comes in." He watched as Eein tied the knot, cracking a small laugh when he was told he was up next.

"Do you need me to do anything, or do I just get to sit back and watch?"

"I thought you liked watching me use my powers?" he'd ask jokingly. "Anyways, not much for you to do unless you wanna try tying the rope on the next rock," he'd stop pulling the current rock, undoing the knot and removing the rope.

"So, two tons is my limit when in human form," he'd look over a few more of the boulders. "Gonna try to go over that," walking to one of the boulders he'd push against it.

"This one is close to my limit," he'd wrap the rope around the boulder. "You know how to tie the knot like I did?"

Tie a rope around a rock? He could probably do that. Probably. He certainly did enjoy just watching though, seeing Eein pull such an incredible weight in his human form was pretty ridiculous already. Even if that wasn’t his limit.

When Eein mentioned trying to pass his limits, Alby snickered, remembering himself attempting the same a short while back and ending up dead tired for a while. “Just don’t overdo it too much, if you pass out like I did then I won’t be able to fly you back.”

As for the knot, Alby watched Eein tie another one, paying attention to how it was done. “Yeah, I think I can do that.”

"I'll be fine, I heal fast," with a small grunt he'd start to drag the boulder. "I'm a dragon remember?" he continued to drag the boulder. "Strong, invincible, magical reptile of legend and myth," he'd strain a little bit as the boulder dug into the soil, having to pull it out of it, before dropping the rope.

He'd hum in thought and dusted his hands off. "Maybe that one?" he'd motion to a bigger one. "Gotta get stronger, so gotta keep lifting bigger," he'd click his tongue and stepped over to the boulder.

The young dragon had been feeling stagnated, and as usual he ended up turning to physical activity for it. "Mind tying the rope?" he'd ask his friend with a smile.

That was true, he did heal fast. That was something Alby learned after the synthesis plant incident. Had that been him, he'd probably be dead, but Eein managed to bounce back and was just fine now.

"Strong? Yes. Magical reptile of myth? Also yes. But invincible? With everything I've seen, nobody is invincible."

Although, looking at the boulder Eein just finished pulling and then the next one he was heading to, someone probably could've been convinced he was.

"This one's pretty big. Good luck." He then smiled when Eein asked him to tie the rope. "You got it." Then he got to work on the knot, doing an okay job, although Eein probably could've done it faster if he'd just done it himself.

"That's where you're wrong Alby," he'd say, stretching a bit. "I'm invincible, or....at least I will be," he'd eye the boulder a bit, letting Alby tie the knot. "We dragons live a very long time, so we tend to just keep getting stronger and stronger."

He'd tap the boulder with his knuckles. "Yeah it's a bit bigger than the other one," he'd hum in thought, making sure the rope was tight. "Wonder if I can get magical devices to make them heavier."

The young dragon would slip into the loop, taking a breath he'd start to pull. With this boulder he definitely strained more than the last one, grunting as be pulled the large object a ways before dropping the rope. "That one was....a little more heavy," he'd say, taking a breath and whipping a bit of sweat from his brow.

Dragons seemed to have crazy long lifespans. Alby had seen a few dragons now, with varying lifespans, but in general they were a long time.

When Eein mentioned making the boulders heavier, Alby seemed to pause. "Heavier? You're crazy, these things are already heavy enough." Not that Alby wouldn't have wanted to see Eein lifting even heavier objects. There was no limit to how ridiculous he wanted this to look.

When Eein dropped the rope, Alby would begin rummaging through his backpack, quickly pulling out a bottle of water. "Here! You look like you could use this." Then he tossed the bottle Eein's way.
