Gym, morning before classes

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron's in the gym. The black and white gym. To him anyway. It's a good thing that sweats and USAF shirts are neutral colours. His socks however are a different matter. One blue, one red.

After Speech, Isabel ran back to her room and got changed into gym gear. A few minutes later, she was at the gym. "Morning!" she called, eyeing Cam's socks curiously. "Getting low on clean laundry?"

He looked down at what Izzy was looking at. "No... Why?"

"Your socks don't match," she said. Shaking her head, she sat down on the mats and started to stretch.

"They don't?" He leaned down and pulled up his sweats a bit so he could compare greys. It looked the same but... damn, this was just great.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nope, one red, one blue." She pulled one arm across her body, stretching it out. "Are you seeing black and white again?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he sighed and sat down on the mat to pull off his shoes and socks. "Came back during Self-defense and hasn't gone away since then."

"That's not good," she said as she stopped stretching. "Have you gone to the clinic?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He shook his head. "Not yet, thought I'd go after class."

"It's probably a good idea. I mean, it's probably nothing. But just in case..." She grabbed her ankles and pulled herself down, holding the position and counting. "One, two, three..."

"Right," Cameron wriggled his toes and might have gotten distracted. If he was staring, it was just because everything looked different in grey.

A few minutes later she was stretched out and ready to go. "So, you're going to teach me how to fall?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Cameron stood up and kicked his shoes and socks to the side. "It's kinda weird at first, but once you get the hand of it, it's fun."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'll take your word for the moment." Her own shoes and socks followed as she climbed to her feet and stood on the mats. "So what do I do?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Watch me first," Cameron said and moved back a little. "The trick is to break the fall by knocking it off with your hands. Which sounds weird because I have no way how to describe it, but you'll see what I mean."

He let himself fall back to the mats and demonstrated what heexpected her to do.

Marty is up early as well (http://oatmanspatient.livejournal.com/48179.html).

And it's not the socks that Marty's distracted by, but the Air Force sweats that Cam is wearing. He's probably seen Cam wear it before but after this morning's phone call with Marcella it takes on a different meaning.

He nods to Cameron and Isabel as he starts working out with the weight machines.

She watched him fall carefully, "Okay, definitely something you need to see to understand. Like this?" It wasn't particularly graceful, but it did sort of look like his fall.

"Yo! Got lost?" Cameron asks from where he's working with Isabel.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Close, we're gonna try doing that a few times so you've got the hang of it." Cameron held out his hand to help her up.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Hey Cam," Marty said in a terse greeting. "Couldn't sleep and thought I get my workout done in the morning instead of the afternoon when I *handwave* usually do it."

Marty settles in on the weight bench and starts doing repetitions.

"So tell me Cam, what's the deal with you and the Air Force?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She took his hand and let him pull her up. "I'm going to be sore when this is over, aren't I?" she asked as she waited for him to demonstrate again.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I want to join them?" Cameron asked confused.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Morning Marty!" Isabel called over her shoulder as she watched Cam demonstrate a fall.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Morning Isabel," Marty replied with a wave. "How are you doing today?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yep, comes with the sparring." Cameron nodded and instead of giving her another demonstration, he put made a sweep at her feet to bring her off balance again.

"Oh so you're not in some program with them already?" Marty asked in a somewhat suspicious tone. "Somehow I thought you were already affiliated with them."
