Camp gym, Thursday afternoon

[can_be_more]

Aeryn's been slacking a little when it comes to the gym, opting instead to go for runs or do other things outside as long as the weather allows. So with gloves in hand, she goes back to the camp gym for the first time this summer.

And once she's hitting the punching bag, this just feels a lot better.


[So bored omg. Plz, plz entertain.]

Qui-Gon had yet to check out the camp gym and decided after class this afternoon to do so. Because there was nothing like a class fighting your classmates to make one want to work out.

He wandered in and looked around.

Hearing someone come in, Aeryn stops her workout long enough to see who it is. She gives the new kid a little nod hello.

Qui-Gon nodded back. "I'm not interrupting you?"

[can_be_more]

"Not at all," she assures him. "It's a big gym."

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

Qui-Gon nodded again and went to check out the other equipment. "It works that way back home, but I wasn't sure about all the conventions here yet."

Finishing off a punch and trying to brush a piece of hair out of her eyes with a glove, she asks, "Where are you from?"

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"Coruscant," Qui-Gon said, running a hand over a weight machine.

Aeryn raises her eyebrows and says, "Really. I was there about a cycle ago."

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"You were?" Qui-Gon turned to give her his full attention.

"With the Flight and Flying workshop," she says. "We spent the weekend there to fly some of the starfighters."

After doing less than wonderfully -- not that she would admit it -- in her fighting class, Aravis dressed in one of her two sets of boy's clothing, wound her hair into a tighter braid, and headed to the camp gym.

She gave a nod to the other girl, and began to stretch out her sore muscles.

Aeryn gives her a nod back, going for another kick, not prepared at all to check out any newbies in the gym, really. She would never do such a thing.

Aravis watches for a moment before commenting, "You are quite good."

And yes, she's still a little surprised at how many women can fight here.

[can_be_more]

It's weird for her to give a thank you to something like that, so instead Aeryn gives another little nod and asks, "Do you train?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis nods. "I am not as good as I'd like, yet."

[can_be_more]

"Here, you'll get the practice," she says. "I'm Aeryn."

"I am Aravis Tarkheena."

She pauses.

"Do you know John Crichton?"

[can_be_more]

Uh oh. "Yes," she says, careful in case this is someone who wants him dead already.

"He asked me if I was your relative," Aravis says. "And then said something about movies and lifetimes. It was an odd conversation."

And if she hadn't sworn a truce, that wouldn't be the adjective she would have chosen.

"That's John for you," she says. "We're engaged. He asked if we were related?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Engaged? But you seem...." Aravis searches for a word. "...sane." She shakes her head. "He asked if I was related to you after I started getting, ah, short with him."

"Ah, with Anakin," Qui-Gon said, looking enlightened. "I believe I'm from an earlier time than what Anakin took you to."

[can_be_more]

"Ah. That explains it," she says. "He takes some getting used to sometimes."

[can_be_more]

"Ah," she says. "So you've already met him."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"He asked me how many licks it takes to get to the center of something."
