Gym, morning

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

As there's no hangover this morning, Cameron is up early. It seems only natural that he heads down to the gym to make up for lost days. It's still empty when he gets there, the punching bag is hanging still, and he knows Aeryn won't be joining him.

"Great," she said and then gestured towards the mats. "Lead the way."

"Yes, ma'am. You're bossy today," Cameron smirked and moved over to the mats. "All I ask is that you don't try to hit my left shoulder too hard."

"I'm not bossy," Isabel sniffed. "Maybe I just wanted to check out the view."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron spluttered at the remark and turned to face her. "You know, if I'd try to say that I'd probably get decked..."

Isabel laughed, "Possibly, but I think it depends on who you said it to. And how you said it. Now me? I said it to see if I could make you smile. Did it work?" Reaching the center of the mat, she raised her hands. "Now don't hurt me."

He chuckled and shook his head. "A bit. Now, I know for sure I'd mean it a lot more than a compliment about shoes."

"I'll go easy," Cameron smirked and brought up his hands. "At first anyway." He said as he got in a fairly easy jab at her left side, just to test her response.

"Good," she said. "Shoes? What about them?" She tried to block the jab but might have been a bit slow. To make up for it she punched back with her right hand, aiming towards his chest.

It's a fairly easy move to block and he follows it up by a hit towards her shoulder. He does keep it slow and lowers his own defenses. "Why so many? You can only wear one pair at the time."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Style. The might all be black but if you look, every pair is different in some way." She blocked the hit and tried to sneak a hit of her own in under his arm.

It connects and Cameron nods in approval. "Nice one," he says as she seems to be aware of taking openings.

"Is there style coordination like there is with colours?" He asks confused as he tries to his her chest.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Isabel said, and of course that's when Cam's punch connects. "Damnit," she muttered as she pulled her arms in for coverage. "Some, there are casual black shoes for everyday. And then there's the three inch heels that are strictly for dress-up wear."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron pulled back, giving her some space to regroup and to come at him. "Okay, that I can get. But why have 10 pairs of three inch heels and 5 casual ones?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She followed, punching with her left and then immediately jabbing with her right. "Again, variety and different needs. It's hard to explain. Some shoes work with pants, some look better with skirts. I'd try to explain more but I think you need estrogen to really understand the fine points."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He blocked the first punch, but the jab goes through. She seemed to be handling herself, though, so he doesn't wait too long to aim a hit at her left shoulder. "I'll take your word for it."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She twisted out of the way and hooked with her right hand towards his left side. "Sorry, it's just a girl thing. Why all the questions?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Just being curious about girl stuff," Cameron said slightly, blocked and used the opening it created to get in his own hit.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

As the hit connects with her ribs, she grumbled to herself, realizing that she has to punch and then pull back faster. More annoyed with herself then anything she hit back, again with the right, this time aiming for the side of his head.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron dodged and got in another hit to Izzy's side. "I keep forgetting the whole moving back thing too."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel was grateful Cam was pulling his punches, otherwise she's pretty sure she'd be bruised as hell in the morning. A bit frustrated she said, "Just remember, I've only been doing this for two weeks." And then tried to land a kick his hip using a a bad imitation of a kick she'd see Aeryn use.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"You're good, you can handle it." Cameron replied and blocked the kick.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

And because she really didn't have her planted foot properly positioned, Cam's block sent her off balance. One blink later, she was on her ass on the mat. "You think so?" she asked as she shook her head.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He chuckled and held out his hand to help her up. "Oh yeah, I've done that a few times myself. You alright?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Bruised ego more then anything." She laughed, "I probably shouldn't have done that considering I don't have a clue about the proper way to kick."

She took his hand and got to her feet. "And I think I should probably stop now before anything else winds up bruised."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Bruises kinda come with it," Cameron replied and he should know. Then again, Izzy probably wouldn't be as stupid about things as he was. "Pip thought me how to fall, has Aeryn covered that part already?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No," she said. "We'd worked on blocking and hitting mostly. Kept it pretty easy. I guess she was going to teach me at the right time."
