Gym, Wednesday Afternoon

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Dr. Lambert had told Pip to take it easy for a few days.

Unfortunately, she hadn't been very clear. For Pip, taking it easy meant going for a light workout. It had, after all, been almost two or so weeks since he had been able to work out.

As ran on the treadmill, he wondered out long it would be before he could spar again.

It had come to Alphonse's attention that lately, he hadn't exactly been on his toes about staying in shape. So that's exactly what he came to the gym for. He didn't expect to see Pip there, either, so he gave him a wave when he saw him. "Hey, Pip. I see you're getting better."

Pip nodded. "Got the stitches out last night!" he said over the sound of the treadmill.

"Just last night? And you're out and about already?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip grinned. "I"m a really bad patient," he said. "Nah, I'm taking it really easy. I dobut I'll do much more than this."

"Well it's a good thing I'm not your doctor then," Alphonse slipped a snicker and shook his head, then started to stretch on a mat sprawled out on the floor. "I've been slacking off too much myself."

"It's a good think Pip knows he isn't immortal. Otherwise he may push himself to hard after recovering from an injury."

Said Pippi heading directly for the jumpropes.

"Only semi-immortal," Pip said. "And it's been two weeks since I was able to work out. I felt like a slug."

"It's been more like two months for me," Alphonse added sheepishly.

Pippi sipped her rope over to the guys.

"Good thing you're here now then."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip flinched. "Dude, that's not good. You're gonna have to work hard to get back in shape."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Which would be he reason I'm here," he nodded, then looked back and forth between Pip and Pippi. "I don't think either one of you are up for sparing, huh?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Not me," Pip said. "I'm still recovering. Maybe Pippi?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. That sounds like fun."

The rope twirls to a stop.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Alphonse blinked. "I didn't even know you sparred, Pippi."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh I do when the mood strikes me."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"You wouldn't mind a few quick rounds then?" Alphonse continued his stretches on the mat. "Nothing too fancy, just something to get myself active again."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Just remember, Al," Pip said. "The girl can bench press most cars."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I am gentle with people! Thank you very much."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Probably better for me; I mean, I don't have to worry about throwing too hard of a kick or a punch, right?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's very true." Said Pippi rubbing the back of her neck.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Great!" Alphonse stood up from his stretches. "Before we start, do you usually defend while the other throws the punches, or do one-on-one? I'm not too familiar with how you do this."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"My usual style is very defensive." Pippi said.

Actually, he usual style was to pick up her opponent and toss them either overboard, or up into a tree... Depending on if she was on land or not...

But she rather guessed that Al was looking for something a little more active then that.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"So defense for you? Right," Alphonse readied himself into his usual starting position. "I'm ready when you are. And if you ever want to throw something right back at me in the middle, go for it; you don't need to warn me ahead of time, I'm pretty used to unexpected attacks."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Lay on then."

She said crooking a finger at him.

Alphonse started off with a swift punch aiming for Pippi's shoulder.
