To be honest, he'd wondered how they'd gotten together himself sometimes.
But he had grown a lot when he'd been a teen. Added to the fact that he'd been walking from town to town, climbing over mountains, and swimming all over, he wound up with a physique, that while not obviously muscular, was strong and athletic.
