The gym, Thursday afternoon

There wasn't any specific reason Jaina had for going to down to the gym. She had no frustrations or emo to work out. She just thought she needed the practice. Her lightsaber skills needed some work, so maybe that was even more of a reason to come down here more often, so she could compensate if she had to.

She started out on the punching bag, paying close attention to her form and how she was hitting it, and probably wouldn't leave until she was satisfied with what she was doing.

[Open!]

Bored, John made his way to the gym. Without football practice the last few weeks he'd gotten lax in his workouts.

"Picturing anyone specific as that bag?" he asked.

"And right now you can't do any damage?" he wondered, walking over and holding the bag. Okay, it was more like he was using the bag to hold himself up in a lazy, slouchy sort of way.

John held the bag a little more seriously. "I'm glad you're practicing on the bag," he teased. "I know I wouldn't want to be hit where it hurts."

"Well, it was either work out or study," John told her, resuming his relaxed posture. "This was the natural choice."

"Nah," John replied, obviously very attached to his intended tasks. "I can get sweaty whenever. Did I catch you at the end of your workout?"

"Doesn't sound like you're so certain," he said, stretching his arms out.

"I could give you some live action practice," he offered. He couldn't help being curious, even if he didn't have much experience with this sort of fighting.

"Afraid you'll break me?" he teased, giving her a little wink.

"Don't worry about me," he told her, cracking his neck. "I'm ready for anything you've got." He couldn't explain where the cockiness was coming from.

John stood ready, watching her carefully as he waited for her to make the first move. He decided that would be the smart thing to do.

He could do simple. John stepped back, instinctively moving an arm up to block the punch.

She was too fast for him, and the blow connected with his ribs. John grunted in surprise and dismay, reaching up to knock her hand away.

John considered that he was going to have a difficult time with this. So he decided to start off with a diversion. In one quick motion, he pulled his shirt off over his head.

Then he stepped closer, aiming a punch toward her torso.
