Gym, early Saturday

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

It was very early on Saturday morning, so hopefully there wouldn't be anybody else around in the gym. She needed to work out some frustration, preferably without being recognized by more people she had never seen before in her life.

She pulled out the mats, laying them down at a decent distance from each other, then stepped onto on one and thought for a moment.

Back-in, full out...



ooc: open!

Parker grinned. "It's been suggested." She stripped off her gloves and offered him a hand. "But I hear the hours are crap."

"Yeah, it's a job you have to live," Joxer said, taking Parker's hand so he could get to his feet.

"I'm guessing it has a tendency to make you kind of cranky, judging from my dad."

"And judging from the one warlord I've met, I'd say you're right." Parker shook her head. "Go put some ice on your jaw, guy. And next time? Yell when you're in over your head. You can't learn everything if you're seeing stars every time you start to fight."

Joxer nodded. "I can get some from that big white vendy machine thing in the common room," he said. "But about being over my head?"

He blushed, which might not have been so visible thanks to how flushed he was already. "Right now, that's a constant situation."

Parker rolled her eyes, then patted him on the shoulder. "It gets better. Especially if you ask for help." She cocked her head, then rolled her eyes. "If you want, I can show you some basic fighting stuff. Just the basics. I'm not a good teacher. But I'd hate to see you faceplant on the mat *every* day."

Joxer nodded. "Things have gotten a lot faster since the time I came from," he said. "So a fresh start might do me good." He smirked a little and pressed his luck.

"You know, you're not a scary as Rory made me think you were."

Parker let her eyes go blank, and her face expressionless--

then shot a deadly punch by his ear, fast as thought.

"You sure about that?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer shook his head. He didn't dare say anything.

Parker smirked again, deadliness held back. "Good boy. I'll talk to you later, okay? Go get that ice."

Joxer nodded and scurried out of the gym.
