The gym, Tuesday after first period

[can_be_more]

Aeryn's babied injuries enough already. Basic fact of the matter is, she feels better. The bruising's not as bad, and therefore she can't care too much about it. So after getting the lecture in Advanced Criminal Justice, Aeryn heads down to the gym, just to start hitting things. Because she likes to hit things.

Sam, dressed in a pair of running shorts and a t-shirt, started one of the treadmills at a relatively slow but constant speed, trying to loosen up her calf muscle, but not tax it. She wasn't up to running yet.

She waved to Aeryn and Cameron, but didn't interrupt them.

On her way out stupid work, Aeryn gives her a nod hello and goodbye.

"Yo," Cameron gave her a wave.

"Morning," Sam said, perhaps a little more quietly than usual. "Some class today, huh?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"It was interesting," Cameron nodded and closed his eyes as he continued the pendulum exercise for his shoulder.

"How're you feeling?" She asked, wondering exactly when the gym had become the place for physical therapy.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Better. Swelling's down so..." He looked at her. "You?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"That's good. Just don't push yourself too hard," Sam cautioned. "And I'm getting better. Stitches are out and the crutches are gone, so it's just getting back up to speed." She pushed the treadmill to give her a bit more of an incline.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Cameron teased and paused again. It sucked feeling this weak.

Sam laughed and stuck her tongue out at him. "This is definitely my least favorite part of fighting. What about you?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I think I prefer it over the waiting," Cameron said honestly. He took a deep breath and started his exercise one more time.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Point." She looked over, slightly out of breath, calf muscle straining slightly. "I think you took a few years off my life when your comm died."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron grimaced. "Sorry. I never saw that vampire coming. He was on top of me in a flash and I felt how I was losing the comm, but keeping him from biting my neck kinda took priority."

"No, I get that," Sam said, smiling slightly. "And you did exactly what you should have done in that situation--but that didn't make it any less scary on my end."

"No, I can imagine. I just should have remembered the mobile, then again there was hardly time during the fight," he gasped and straightened up, supporting his arm and holding it close to his body. "Right, enough for the day."

"It's easy to forget details like that during a fight for your life, Cameron. Especially when you're not used to it. You did good." She kept walking, definitely beginning to feel the strain, but trying to push past the pain. "I'll see you later, I'm sure?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I can keep you company for a bit, I just need to get some ice in the locker room. I'm supposed to use it on the muscles after the exercises."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Great. You're good company."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron ducked his head. "Thanks, just gimme a sec."

He disappeared into the locker room and came back a short while later, t-shirt flung over his good shoulder and he kept the ice pack wrapped in a towel over the bruise. "So..." he said as he sat down on one of the machines to face her.

"So. Any plans for Valentine's Day?" She grinned. "You, er, might want to keep an eye on Anakin. I got the impression yesterday that he may have gotten some confusing information on the subject."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Oh boy, I should talk to him then before John and Angel get to him. I know all too well how they confused people with Christmas." He grimaced as he applied the ice to the bruise.

Sam laughed and wiped some sweat out of her eyes. "Yeah, probably not a bad idea. I tried to set him straight figuratively speaking, but I'm not sure I got the job done. Although, it's not like he needs the practical information, right, since he's not dating anyone?"

After Rory's reaction to losing Anakin's signal on Friday, Sam wasn't 100% positive about the last part, but she wasn't going to butt in.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Right," Cameron frowned as he had seen them both after Friday. "Still, better to be safe than sorry."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Especially around here," Sam said.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Cameron nodded and went quiet for a moment. "So, your professional opinion. Was Tick right about the apple thing?"
