Gym, Afternoon

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

It occured to Pip that he had forgotten to work out yesterday. Very bad of him.

He's making it up today, though. After lifting some weights, he selected the full body bag and started hitting.

After her workshop, Gwynn made her way to the gym and selected a wooden sparring sword.

Muttering under her breath, she started going through a few violent routines.

Pip waved to Gwynn from where he was hitting the bag. "Feeling any better?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn waved at him. "My shoulder is better, thank you." She did another spin with her sword. "But... that workshop... those clothes... those blades that I do not know how to use. And what the bloody nonsense is a collage, antway?!"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"...What workshop were you taking?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"I am in a class about Image... and it apparently involves making collages about clothes that I would never wear!"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"...Oh. Er... No idea about that one. Who's teaching it?"

Peter had brought his shield to the practice field today as it was much easier than trotting down five flights of stairs with it. With a nod to Pip, Peter found a reasonable practice sword and began working sword and shield drills in one of the open areas.

Pip nodded back. "Hi there, English Peter who practices with a sword. Had any intereting workshops yet?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Is that as opposed to the English Peter who doesn't?" Peter asked with a grin. "No workshops till tomorrow for me What about you?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"He might exist," Pip pointed out. "And yes, I learned how to bake brownies this morning. Possibly the most important skill any human being could master."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Around here? Anything's possible," Peter agreed. "That's important indeed. Do you wonder how you survived before this morning? But more importantly, did they turn out well?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"It's a miracle I survived this long. I can only attribute it to my good looks and general overwhelming coolness and amazingness. And they turned out edible and fairly tasty. Nothing really to write home about, though."

After getting back from fetching things from the dorms, Pippi decides to check out the gym because... Well... It's the place to be.

"Oh hello peoples."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip waved to her from where he was hitting the body bag.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved back. Not sure what she wanted to do while she was here (or if Pip was going to try and chide her for doing it once she decided) she walked up to the heavy bag and held it steady for him.

"How was your morning?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"I learned how to make brownies," Pip said. "I'm gonna share them with the cabin, provided you all trust me not to poison you with bad cooking."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

You could poison us all with iocaine powder for all I care if they're good brownies... I've spent the last five years building up a resistance to iocaine powder.

"Well, if they're anything like your creepies, I'm sure they're marvelous." she said. "I was going to take cooking... But some how I ended up in Sex instead."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip shrugged. "There are worse things to end up in. Who's teaching Sex?"

Peter bowed to Pippi during a pause in one of his forms.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi curtsied back and watched him for a while as she held the heavy bag for Pip.

"Peter? Who taught you to do those routines?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Armsmasters and soldiers. Mainly a centa-weaponsmaster named Oreius."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi liked the look of the forms, seemed to be the kind of exercise that wouldn't get anybody fretting over her if she was still not supposed to be exercising. Not that she knew if she should or not, she wasn't a doctor...

"Do you think you could teach me?"

Nadia wandered into the gym. She saw Pip. She looked from him to the gym equipment, and turned to walk back out.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi was about to wave to Nadia when she turned around and walked back out.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip sighed.

He made a note to talk to her later when they had a chance for privacy. This avoiding each other when in living in a small space thing, was getting pretty old.
