Gym, 5:00 PM FHT

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

After an exciting adventure of making more Eddie Izzard refrences than previously thought humanly possible taping a golf cart to a ceiling, Pip needed to expend a little nervous energy.

And he had promised he would teach Paige self defense.

While waiting for her, he slipped on a pair of white gloves and started doing some shadow boxing, his braid wrapped around his neck like a scarf.

[[OOC: Pip's here for Paige but anyone can come and play in the gym.]]

Paige eyes went wide and she yelled out as she fell, she did however remember to relax and let her hands break her fall.

She looked up at him from the mat, "I really should've known that was coming shouldn't I?"

Pip reached a hand out to help her up. "Well, if you had than there really wouldn't have been much of a point to me doing it, but yes. You probably should've guessed that I was going to do that. And you did quite well, by the way. I had to knock Cameron down by suprise two or three times before he got it."

Paige smiles as she pulls herself up with Pip's help, "I'm guessing Cam was better with the actual fighting stuff though right?"

She sighs, "There are vanquishing potions, it's just, well I don't think my sisters trust me much with magic and I can't really rely on aving the right one with me at the time,"

She was pretty sure she'd be dead in a few years, but if she could just last long enough to show a few demons not mess with the Charmed Ones she'd be happy, well happy-ish at least.

"Well, he was, yes. But he's been sparring with Aeryn. Who I think might be even better at hand-to-hand than me, but that's only going on rumor."

He nodded. "No, you really can't. From the sounds of it, magic is a weapon, just like any other weaopn. You need to have it, you neet to have it ready, and you need to have it loaded for it to be of any use. And you can never count on that being the case. It's why this stuff is so important."

Out of nowhere, Pip suddenly dashes forward and trips Paige up again.

This time Paige doesn't land quite so well, she relaxes but doesn have chance to break her fall with her hands. "Owww!"

She orbs back up and looks at him rubbing her back, "damn it Pip!"

Re: NFB

Pip shrugs. "Just checking. Good on the relaxation, not so good on the breaking of the fall. You can't always count on being able to see what's coming. I'm gonna make you fast, if nothing else. Speed counts for most in a fight."

He scratched his nose. "I think we've done enough for today. You want to meet again some time?"

Re: NFB

Paige nods, "Yeah I guess I shold count myself lucky I knew you were even here, I'm thinking I might not be able to count on that with the demons."

"Yeah I do if you're not too busy, I mean, I don't have any evening classes so whenever you're free I guess." she pauses, "but I did promise Geoff I'd be able to work in his shop at least one night a week."

Re: NFB

Pip nods. "Well, I've got one or two evening classes. One is Music of the Multiverse and one is, funnily enough, Tactics of War. I'm also working with Cam and maybe one other person. Maybe it would be a good idea if we set up regulrly scheduled training sessions?"

Re: NFB

"Yeah that might be a good idea, how'd Mondays and Thursdays suit you? That why I can spend time with Sawyer and do the stuff at the clinic and work for Geoff too,"

Re: NFB

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Well, I've got class on Monday seventh period, but we can just work before then. Thursday's a bit of a problem, though. I've got classes six and seventh periods. How about, say, Wednesday?"

Re: NFB

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"Sure Wednesday's fine, like I said I don't have any evening classes, so other than than work I'm pretty much free. So five on Mondays and Wednesday's then?"

Re: NFB

"Sounds great," Pip says, lighting up a cigarette. "Come dressed in comfortable workout clothes. And leave the boots behind."

Re: NFB

Paige laughed a little, "sure I probably have somethiung a bit more, appropriate, I'll see you again on Wednesday then and I really appreciate this Pip, thank you."
