The Gym, Thursday Afternoon

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He arrived in the gym on time and was a little surprised that Jaina wasn't already there. He considered that he was early, but really, there wasn't much of a chance of that. She'd seemed rather serious about this whole sparring thing.

Or at least she'd seemed interested in knocking him down repeatedly - same difference.

Ever a patient guy, John took his time stretching out before taking a few swings at the heavy bag while he waited.

[ooc: Open! Entertain John while he is stood up, or you know, use the gym in other ways while ignoring him.]

"Have you slept there too?" Gavin asked and, wow, that was a weird thing to ask another guy.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

It was a weird thing to be asked. Possibly weirder to have to think about the answer. "Um, yeah."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Me too," Gavin said, making a face. "Not in the same bed as you, though. Obviously. Um. I forgot we share this similarity."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Definitely not the same bed," John agreed. "It's strange a strange thing to have in common. But at least I'm roommate-free."

He glanced at the clock on the wall, wondering where that girl was.

"Me too," Gavin said, happy to get off the fact before they started talking about how they hadn't been in the room on the same day together. "You waiting for someone?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Jaina was supposed to join me," John said. "We're apparently sparring now."

"She late?" Gavin asked. "Or you just super early? And you're gonna get your ass kicked."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"She's late," John replied. "And yes. I'm acutely aware that my ass is grass. Thanks for the reminder."

"Well, I just thought I'd get that in before she left you crying on the mats," he said and patted John's shoulder.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, why does everyone think I'm going to cry?" John didn't get that at all.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Gavin said, laughing a little. "Who else has said that?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Andrew," John said, not amused. "He seems to think I'll need a shoulder to cry on. Like some sort of abused spouse."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Awww." Gavin really liked Andrew now. "Well, maybe he doesn't know your secure in getting your ass kicked by your girlfriend?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It's not for sure I'll get my ass kicked," John whined complained. "It's just likely with the whole Jedi thing."

"If it makes you feel any better, she'd kick my ass too," Gavin said and patted John's shoulder again.
