Gym, morning before workshops

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

It had been way too long since Cameron had been in the gym so he showed up early for his session with Veronica so he hit the machines planning to make up for some of his slacking off.

Veronica dropped her elbow to block the hit and sent another punch at him, aiming for the spot where he kept managing to hit her.

"About seven weeks," she said. "I leave at the end of August, as soon as the second session of workshops is over."

"See? Plenty of time," he took the hit and feigned a hit, but ended up making a swipe at her feet with his right leg.

And since Veronica wasn't expecting a lower body attack, he managed to hit her feet and she wobbled, but didn't fall over thanks to remembering the correct stance.

"Good," Cameron said happily and pulled back to give her more room again. "Next time there are jello dragons, I want to see you fighting."

Veronica laughed. "If we get Jello dragons again, I'll be kicking your ass," she informed him.

She studied him for a moment and then decided to try a front kick instead of another punch. She didn't lift her knee quite high enough though.

Cameron used both hands to block the kick. It wasn't perfect, but it was good that she was trying to work them in anyway. "Bit higher," he commented. "And how many times? I'm completely innocent!"

Since he used his hands to block the kick, Veronica punched with her right hand, aiming for his left side.

"You've been talking about them for how long and then they suddenly attack?" she asked. "It's totally your fault."

Cameron winced as he was too slow to block and took the hit.

"I made them up after the snowmonsters," he said as he tried to tag her shoulder. "As far as I know, I'm not magical and haven't done anything magical so it's pure coincidence."

She tried to dodge the hit to the shoulder, but hadn't quite managed to get back into her correct stance after attempting the kick and ended up leaning into his hit instead of away from it.

"Ow," Veronica said, rubbing her shoulder. "I need to work on my balance."

"I can make you stand on a pole if you think it would help," Cameron helpfully supplied.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Stand on a pole?" Veronica repeated, blinking at him.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you know. See how long you can stand up right. Maybe do a little crane impression," he demonstrated for her. "Make you paint a fence or two."

Veronica shook her head. "I was thinking more along the lines of picking up a yoga DVD or something," she said.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yoga?" Cameron dropped out of crane position and stared at Veronica.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, yoga," Veronica said. "It's supposed to help with balance and stress relief and all that stuff."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure it's very sleep inducing and relaxing," Cameron nodded, still not all that in touch with the whole meditating experience.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Probably sleep inducing," Veronica agreed. "But maybe worth a shot if it will help me with balance. And certainly better than standing on a pole."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, I liked the pole idea," Cameron shrugged. "But by all means, yoga yourself out!"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica laughed. "I'm just thinking about it," she said. "Maybe I'll hit the bookstore this week and see if they have anything."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Let me know how that works out," Cameron grinned. "I swear that stuff drives me up the walls more than it relaxes me."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Well, what relaxes you then?" Veronica asked.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"This," he said, motioning at the gym. "Just working off the excess energy. Apparently this is how I get rid of stress."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"That's a lot healthier than eating ice cream," Veronica grinned.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Sort of," he said as he probably tended to go a little overboard. "I just make the ice cream."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"You make ice cream?" Veronica asked.
