The Gym, Friday morning

[can_be_more]

Yesterday she was in the common room and at a party. There. Good enough. That was social.

After signing up for classes, Aeryn heads to the gym, which is much more familiar than large crowds of people she won't actually approach unless she knows them. There's no one there yet, so she pulls on her gloves, heads straight to the punching bag, and takes advantage of the fact that there isn't a line for it yet.

And there may or may not have been another vacuum accident. Yeah...


[Totally open for interaction. Will be gone from about 9 am PST for about two hours, but will otherwise be around.]

After finding his little sib, Cameron wonders back down from the inferior floors and heads into the gym. He stiffles a yawn as he watches Aeryn have a go at the bag. "Yo."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn doesn't even have to turn away from the bag, because the "Yo" covers it. "Hi," she says, kicking the bag. "Here to self-abuse some more?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah, you know me. Can't get enough of it," Cameron replies dryly. "Seems you beat me to it."

[can_be_more]

"I haven't been down here in over a day. I have to make up for lost time," she says, smacking a gloved fist into the bag again.

Cameron raises an eyebrow, but nods. "Yeah, me too..."

[can_be_more]

She looks back at him. "I'd ask you to spar, if you don't mind the accusations that seem to follow."

"I think I can handle it," Cameron rolls his shoulders and grins. "Shoulder's better, too."

[can_be_more]

"Good," she says, moving to a location away from the punching bag. "I was going to go easier on you, but if you're all right..."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Nah, no going easier. I need to learn." He goes pick up a pair of boxing gloves and pulls them on before joining Aeryn on the mat. "Might wake me up too. I can't believe I was up most of the night to sign up for classes." He brings up his hands in defence.

[can_be_more]

"...Yes, same here," Aeryn says, and starts out with a fairly easy right hook to his jaw.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron blocks the shot, at the same time he ducks a bit and goes for a chest shot. "Which subjects did you pick?"

[can_be_more]

"Criminal Justice, War Tactics, Sociology of Violence-" Aeryn blocks it a little hard. "-Driver's Ed and Self Defense," she says, and brings her leg up to kick the side of his left thigh. "But if I don't get the last one... I don't really need it."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"No," Cameron agrees as he's pushed back by her block. He sees the kick coming and blocks with his left arm. His punch to her left is low as her defence is too good elsewhere.

[can_be_more]

As her left arm comes up from below to the underside of his chin, she asks, "What did you sign up for?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He takes the hit and staggers back. Shaking his head, he quickly brings up his arms against as he replies.

"Criminal Justice, Maths, Tactics of War, Medieval English History and Self-Decence," he says and tries a side-kick at Aeryn's hip. "I probably do need it."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn lunges a few steps forward to avoid the shot, bringing her arm out and back to hit across Cameron's shoulderblades. "You're not doing to badly."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Ungh, it was kinda hard to believe when she pulled something like that on him and he caught himself from goign down on the mat.

"I'll take your word for it," he says slightly out of breath as turns and uses the momentum to strike out at her left side, quickly followed by a shot to her left shoulder with his other hand.

[can_be_more]

She's able to block the first time, but the second connects and she takes a step back. Of course, she only does that in order to kick into his right side.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you should TA for Self-Defence," Cameron suggests as his defence is more a reflex and he elbows her knee. Which really hurts him as much. "Ow."

[can_be_more]

That's bone on bone and that really frelling hurts. Aeryn takes another step back, letting the sting fade a bit. "I thought about it. I don't know if they're even looking, though," she says.

When she's a little more sure of her knee, she moves forward and aims a punch for his chest.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"You could always ask?" Cameron manages to block the punch and actually holding on to her arm, he quickly moves closer and makes a swipe for her legs.

[can_be_more]

He gets kicked not-too-hard for the effort. "Very nice try," she says appreciatively, and shrugs. "I could."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron pulls back and bounces in place for a moment. "My mom always says that you've got a no and you can get a yes."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn raises an eyebrow. "She does, does she?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"My momma's a smart woman," Cameron says, his grin faltering just slightly for a moment. "Most of the time anyway," he shrugs and moves back in again to aim a short burst of punches at Aeryn's hands.
