The Gym, Wednesday morning

Today was a day for gym practise, River decided, but not for fighting - unless anyone should ask her for sparring, of course. She made her way to the middle of the floor, and stood still for a moment before starting to move, mixing cheer moves with a few punches and some dance steps. She found a rhythm to it, as if there was some kind of music playing in the room.

[open, of course!]

He started hitting the bag harder, glaring at it, and didn't answer.

Entering a sequence of moves, every step River took turned a little more aggressive than she'd planned. The gentleness was gone, replaced with kicks and punches in the air.

Even though Jack was angry, at River and maybe at himself, he couldn't help watching her, attention split between pummelling the bag and following her movements.

Unconsciously, he started to fall into a rhythm hat matched hers.

The synchonised movements were soothing, despite everything else, and River found herself emphasizing it. Reaching the wall, she spun around, then raised her head, meeting Jack's eyes.

He gave her a crooked smile and slowed, gradually letting his hands fall to his sides, breathing deeper but not laboured. "We always matched."

River gave a sad laugh, shaking her head. "Just not easy to find that." Part of her was close to telling him she'd missed him, but she didn't.

"No, no it's not." Jack leaned forward, resting against the bag, closing his eyes briefly, then straightened. "I'll go, leave you in peace," he said, and headed for the door without looking at her again.

River stood still and watched him leave, then turned all her focus back to her own movement. The sequence that followed was fast, very fast, with lonh sweeping kicks aimed at nothing.
