Kings Row
Seraph's House
Katie was sitting on Neph's feet to help her with sit ups.... And enjoying the view when a question formed in her mind. "Hey.... Why do you work out? Most of you is metal."
Neph grunted as she curled up, before laying back down. "Simple, metal is fucking heavy, so I had to get fit so my body could support the weight of my limbs. As I got older, my limbs got more upgrades and there for, heavier."
Katie furrowed her brow. "But aren't most limbs light weight to reduce strain on the user? At least, that was how it was in Preatoria."
Neph gave another grunt as she sat up. "Oh yeah, but light weight space age materials cost a lot and when we came to Paragon, dad was not flush with cash. So we had to afford some real clunkers, took me months to get used to them."
"And you where eight when you got your limbs?"
Neph nods.
"Sounds cruel to put such weight on so young a child."
"And that is the American health care service in a nut shell, kindness cost extra."
Katie pulls a face. "But wait... Your family is well off now, why not buy lighter?"
"Oh that is simple, I punch harder with these." Neph slaps a metallic bicep.
"You are a strange woman Neph Seraph."
"And you are dating me, so you are strange too."
