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.

Aeryn's not expecting to stay long because working is dumb, yeek, but she's got time for a quick workout before she has to do anything. She goes straight for one of the machines with a hello nod at the- wow, others- people already there.

Cameron nodded back, not stopping hitting the bag.

"Are you cleared to be doing that?" asks Aeryn, who really shouldn't be saying anything about that sort of thing.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Dunno," Cameron shrugged and proved it by getting a harder hit in with his left. Which admittedly wasn't that impressive.

[can_be_more]

"All right, let me put it this way," she says. "Are you okay to be doing that?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Dunno", he repeats.

If she wasn't busy with the machine, she'd throw something at him. "Just don't break yourself," she says, and lets it drop if he wants it dropped. Because again, clinic visits are bad.

"I don't break easily," he says, but does ease off on his left shoulder for the next couple of hits.

[can_be_more]

She does notice that last part, and doesn't call attention to it. "Good."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Very," he gets a couple of his in stomach height.

If it's pushing, it's pushing. She's never had a problem with that. "If it starts to hurt and you keep it up, you're going to damage it. And then I'll have to beat you while you can't defend yourself."

That stops him. He stares at her for a moment. "Is that a promise?"

[can_be_more]

Aeryn nods, completely serious. "Most people call it a threat," she says.

Isabel nodded and smiled but didn't let go. She had learned her lesson in a scary accident on a Nordic track.

Aeryn smiles back and lets her do her thing, because clinic visits are bad.

"Hey, Aeryn," Elizabeth called, not looking round as she increased the speed on the machine.

[can_be_more]

"Hey," Aeryn says back. "The gym is full of focused people today." It's really kind of amusing.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I have been slacking. That's my excuse. Can't speak for any of the others," Elizabeth laughed.

[can_be_more]

Aeryn almost-smiles at that. "I haven't seen you for a while," says Aeryn. Who really hasn't been in her room to see anyone, actually.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know," Elizabeth grinned. "I don't know where this past week went OMG jetlag is evil."

[can_be_more]

She almost says she wasn't aware time went anywhere, then stops herself. "I wouldn't mind my weekend back," she admits.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Did you have a good one then? Or did you get drunk and forget it all?"

[can_be_more]

"No, definitely not," she says, and considers it even if she doesn't need to. "It was good."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth just grinned. "Good. I'm guessing John wasn't an animal for it then?" She tried not to snicker.

[can_be_more]

"...No. Definitely not," she says.
