The Gym, Monday Morning

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel had been eating entirely too many doughnuts lately. So when she heard Xander leave for class she decided to head to the gym. She's on the elliptical trainer, moving at a pretty good pace, but definitely willing to say hi.

Cameron headed into the gym. It's kinda weird when there's someone there already and it isn't Aeryn.

"Yo," he greeted and seemed to try to make up his mind of where to go. Punching bag it was.

"Hey! How do you feel?" she asked as she watched him go to the punching bag. Looking at the clock, she figured she'd spend another few minutes on the trainer and then go join him to get some practice in before Thursday's lesson.

"Not hung over," Cameron replied and rolled his shoulder for a moment before putting on gloves.

"That's good. Can I join you when I finish up here?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Knock yourself out," he said.

After a good workout on the trainer, Isabel finally stopped. She took a long drink of water and then headed over to where Cam was doing a good job beating up the punching bag. "I think you've managed to hurt it."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Possibly," Cameron agreed, but works both ways and as stubborn as he is, he does kinda fear Aeryn just a little.

"Do I get a turn?" she asked,shaking her head. "I'd ask if you should be doing this but I think Aeryn already covered that."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, sure." He backed off from the bag, kinda grateful for the break.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," she said as she moved into position in front of the bag. After a few hits she added, "Feel free to correct me if you see me doing something wrong."

"I'm not sure I'm that qualified," Cameron said as he moved behind the bag and held it in position for her.

"Really? You look like you know what you're doing." She hit the bag again, wondering why she always seemed to hit better if she pictured Max's face on the bag.

He blushed. "Looks can decieve? Aeryn's been teaching me and Self-Defense class doesn't hurt, I suppose."

Cam is entirely too cute when he blushes. "Well you have a headstart on me. I've only had two lessons with Aeryn and no self-defense class."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure you'll be able to kick my ass in no time," Cameron said. "Aeryn's a good teacher."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"She is." Another punch, this time it's Nacedo she's picturing. "I asked her to teach me after we ran into Darla. I felt bad that I couldn't do anything." Hmmm, this time her fist hit right smack on Darla's nose. "Now, I'm just having fun."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"It's a good way to let off steam," Cameron replied and decided to ignore the Darla part.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah, I get that." She looked a little sheepish as she admitted, "I find I can hit better if I picture my brother's face on the bag."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Cameron nodded. "Very therapeutic."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Exactly, because Mom and Dad wouldn't appreciate me hitting him for real. No matter how much he deserved it." She took a few more hits and then stepped back. "Your turn."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"No, parents tend not to understand." Cameron shook his head. "I'm good."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Cam. How you doing today?" Elizabeth called.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Okay, you?" Cameron asked.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Still a bit tired, but other than that, I'm good."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Good," Cameron nodded. He didn't seem very talkative.
