Gym - Afternoon

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Another lazy Sunday with nothing to do, Kara finds herself grabbing her bag and heading down to work off some energy. She arrives to find it empty and blissfully quiet, for once. Throwing her bag down, she heads to the mats to start stretching.

Anders shows up at the gym shortly after Kara does, and walks over with his arms crossed over his chest. "Why is it that I tend to run into you here more than anywhere else, Thrace?" he teases.

Kara looks up from stretching out her right leg and smirks. "Because you enjoy getting your ass kicked."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Right. Yes. You kicking my ass is completely the highlight of my week," retorts Anders as he starts his own warmups. "Haven't seen you in about a week. What's new with you?"

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

"I always knew it." Kara smirks, giving him a wink as she switches legs. "I spent most of my week hacking up a lung and trying to breathe. Not my best week ever," she replies. "What about you?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders grimaces as he rotates his ankles. "Oh gods, that sounds like Cally last week. She was completely out of it for days. My week was totally boring, except for helping her paint that Viper she's got up on the roof, and that brunch this morning. Otherwise it's just been class and sleeping."

Kara exhales loudly as she finishes stretching out her hamstring. "I'm gonna have to check that Viper out one day," she says.

Anders grins and finishes up his own stretching. "The paint job is totally non-regulation now, but Fleet HQ is like who the frak knows how far away. So what's the plan for today? Weights, sparring, bikes?"

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

"Bikes, then weights?" offers Kara, as she presses herself up into a standing position. She shakes out her injured leg and looks down at Anders, saying, "Maybe one day we could hit the court."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good to me." Anders levers himself back to his feet and loosens up his limbs, nodding hesitantly. "Yeah, we should do that. It's been a while."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara nods silently and gives him a small smile. "Can't have you getting rusty, right?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"That would be kinda bad, yeah," replies Anders, heading toward the stationary bikes. "Not like I have anybody else around here to play with who's any challenge at all, much less can kick my ass around."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Hopping on to a bike, Kara sits back and thinks for a moment. "Kara Thrace, Official Ass Kicker of Samuel Anders." She gives him a wicked grin. "I like that."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh, great." Anders swings a leg up over the seat of the neighboring bike and rolls his eyes. "That's all you need, an official title to go with it."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

"And when you're rich and famous pyramid star, you can say you owe it all to me." Kara gives him a grin, getting into her role. "A cut of your contract wouldn't hurt either," she says, laughing.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders snorts with laughter and shoots her a playful glare. "Watch it with the demands there, Thrace, or you're not getting a frakkin' thing. 'cause I was thinking, you know, five percent a year and a chapter in my autobiography, but I might have to change my mind now."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

She gives him a light thump on the shoulder and says, "Already planning an autobiography? Damn, Samuel, we're gonna have to get to work on you."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I've been planning it out for years already," he says sarcastically as he playfully flinches back from the light blow and sets the speed dial on his bike. "What, do I look like I'm that full of myself? Also, define 'get to work on me'."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara sets the dial to a low setting and sits back as she starts pedaling. "You're gonna need a lot of ass kicking to rate an autobiography," she replies.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders kicks up the resistance on his bike up a notch or two, and bends over the handlebars as he starts pedaling a little harder. "Look, if you expect me to just, like, bend over and let you have at it, that's not gonna happen," he tells Kara, smirking.

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara watches him bend over the handle bars and bites back a laugh. "Looks like you already are," she says, and smacks the top of his ass. "Faster, Samuel! No one got an autobiography going that speed!"

She really can't help herself.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Anders yelps, laughing, but he starts pedaling harder anyway. "I don't see you goin' any faster, Thrace!"

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

"I haven't planned out my autobiography yet!" retorts Kara, but increases her speed just a little.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Well, what the frak are you waiting for? Get cracking!" Anders starts pedaling even faster. "Or am I gonna have to kick your ass now?"

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara leans on the handlebars as she cranks up the resistance. She looks over at Samuel and says, "That'll be the day."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"That day might be closer'n you think," he shoots back, then goes quiet for a minute or two to concentrate on regulating his breathing, thanks to the pace he's set.
