Outside the dorms, early Thursday morning

It hadn't taken much time in the military for Jaina's sleep patterns to change, meaning that if she set an alarm, she was damn well awake and alert at the alarm, no matter what the hour. She was still getting used to the idea of actually going outside to run in this weather on purpose, though, and in fact was currently debating whether or not her sense of competition was strong enough to brave good old-fashioned frostbite.

Then again, at least she wouldn't be doing this naked, unlike some people.

[For

ltcolkirk, up early for SP, and while other interaction might be a little difficult, the grounds are kind of a public space. Unless the squirrels cordoned off part of the exterior dorms as their own private country when I wasn't looking. Look, I'm very tired.]

"You know, once we get moving, you'll hardly notice the temperature," he said helpfully. Rather than bothering him, John found the cold a good motivator early in the morning.

"No, I'm pretty sure I'll notice it," she told him. "You really do this most mornings?"

"It's a great way to start the day," he said, stretching his arms over his head and leaning to the side.

Jaina was kind of staring. She'd honestly assumed he was baiting her when he brought this up. "You really are just a little bit crazy, aren't you?" she asked.

He raised an eyebrow but kept stretching. "I'm dating you, aren't I?"

"Point," she conceded. She sighed, noting that she could see her breath, and asked, "You're sure about this?" Though she had no doubt that he was.

"Are we outside? Am I stretching out?" He didn't understand why she was still questioning his intentions.

"You're never meeting Tenel Ka," she muttered under her breath, and decided to just suck it up. "Okay, so what are we waiting for?"

All finished stretching he smirked, "Um, you?" And then started backing away with a little jog. Because that had ended well for him before.

She started moving to keep up with him, trying to resist the urge to wrap her arms around herself against the cold. "If you trip, I'm going to laugh harder today," she warned.

He turned once she started moving with him. "I'll try not to give you any reason to laugh."

"Aw, spoil my fun," she teased, picking up the pace a little, because he was right about it helping to not notice the temperature. Hoth was worse, it really was.

"That's right," he teased back, sticking with her. "This is competition after all."

"Sure it is," she said. "I'm still not entirely convinced you're not just messing with me." Yes, she was, but she was still boggling over that.

He chuckled, "And yet here we are running. Were you thinking I'd be chasing you?"

"No. I was thinking my muscles would go on strike before that would happen."

"I'm pretty sure your muscles can handle it," he replied, amused by her complaints.

"Easy for you to say, you're the one nuts enough to be used to this," she reminded him.

"What can I say?" he smiled. "I'm a nutty kind of guy."

He was smiling way too much for this weather. "I don't know how I didn't notice this about you before."

John understood fleece, gloves, and unattractive ski caps. He wasn't feeling much of the weather. "Maybe you were blinded by my incredible charm."

Quite possible, actually, but he wasn't hearing that right now. "Does this mean the honeymoon's over?" she wondered.

"Wait, did I miss a wedding?" John teased.

"Well, there was that one a few months back," she reminded him, just to be a brat.

"I think that was a different John," he told her.
