The Gym - Saturday Evening

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

After riding Old Man, Peter was reminded that he hadn't trained for a few days.  It was a bit too late to visit the salle, so he headed to the gym.

Throwing his stuff to the side, he started stretching then claimed the punching bag.  Because nerves about a football match tomorrow and warnings that could only be given verbally left him wanting to hit things.

After detention, Tyler changed into workout clothes, then went down to the gym. He nodded to Peter before he grabbed a basketball and began working on his rebound technique, a look of great concentration on his face.

Peter paused for a second and nodded back to Tyler.

Tyler waited until he had finished five rebounds in a row, then tucked the ball onto his hip. "Hey, English. Good weekend so far?"

"It has been. Pippi made pancakes for lunch then we rode Old Man. Now if England can just win tomorrow, it shall make up for Germany beating Sweden," Peter said, giving possibly too much World Cup information. "How about you?"

After spending time with Anders, Willow went looking for Peter. Following a trend of not finding boys in their rooms, she took a chance that Peter might be in the gym.

Peter saw Willow out of the corner of his eye and turned to bow. "Good evening to you."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow gave a small curtsey in return. "Sir Peter."

She looked worried. "Am I interrupting? I can go away if I'm interrupting."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Not at all," Peter replied. "And even if you were, I give you an interrupting free pass to use whenever you wish."

Peter was tired of all this sitting around he had been doing. Injured arm or not, he needed to do something. "Hey, everyone," Peter said, before starting some stretching exercises.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Evening, Peter," Peter said with a nod. "How goes it?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Peter," Peter said. "It goes well. Very, very quiet, but well. You?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I hear you on the quiet bit. I'd say it was almost slightly disturbing, but I'm afraid it would be an invitation to something louder." He glanced at Peter's cast. "You're taking it easy with that thing, right?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Stickbug," Tyler said. "What're you working on?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Not much at the moment," Peter said. "Just light stuff to keep myself from being bored."

"Being out of commission is no fun," Tyler nodded. "I'm trying to get better at the whole rebound thing before our next game. It's weird, I know it's just intramural, but when I'm on the court I really want to win."

Conner had been thinking about his conversation with Peter a few nights ago, and about how he was going to forget all his moves if he didn't practice. So here he was, in a tanktop (red, of course) and loose workout pants, going through a series of warmup stretches.

Once he was adequately loosened up, he put himself through a fairly basic kata, slowly at first and then speeding up as he felt more comfortable with it. His fighting skills might have been given to him by the Dino Gem, but even now that it was burned out, some of it was instinct by now. That tended to happen when something bonded with your DNA.

Peter paused for a second to nod to Conner.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner nodded back and went through the form again, paying close attention to his footwork.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter went back to the punching bag, watching Conner out of the corner of his eye. At the next pause they shared, he said, "You don't look like you've forgotten that much, Conner."

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler watched Conner practice. "McKnight, right? You're good."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner stopped at the end of his latest runthrough and nodded. "Thanks. Yeah, that's me. You're . . . Tyler?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Tyler," Tyler agreed. "I saw you at the game last week but I don't think we talked."

"What technique is that?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia ran into the Gym with an Argentine flag tied around her neck like a cape.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!"

Then she ran back out.

Peter grinned at her celebrations and rather hoped he could celebrate his team making into the quarter-finals tomorrow.

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler shouted "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL" back at her.

Yelling was fun.
