the gym - late tuesday morning

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

His brain was on lockdown. Possibly until the day Andrew and Karal got back from their trip.

He'd been conflicted this morning, once they were gone: how to fulfill one set of irritations without allowing another to slip in and wreak havoc within his mind? Lazing around wasn't an option, especially without Andrew. He didn't even thinking cleaning or doing laundry or organizing his budget would help. Practicing his magic was entirely out of the question, of course.

So he'd slipped down to the gym and started his stances. Gone into his sword drills. Started experimenting with combining them. Felt how one could shift into the other.

Stayed away from the punching bag.

Body body body. Stimulating nothing but his body, remembering nothing except with his muscles, feeling above thinking, practicing and making his flesh learn as his mind remained switched firmly off. Better that way. It would be better that way. He just hoped he could keep it off long enough that things settled and he didn't lose his mind...

Johnny decided to hit the gym. Tossing his shirt and bag off to the side, he started with some warm-ups, stretching his mucsles and getting his heart going a bit before he grabbed a jump rope.

Nothing better to preoccupy your thought process that a decent work out.

Liir spared him a glance and a brief nod of greeting before getting back to his own work. Talking required thinking. Thinking was going to hurt right now.

He'd made it days without speaking a word at Kiamo Ko. He could do it again.

Johnny nodded back, noticing him briefly as he jumped through the fast loops he created with the jump robe. No need to speak; he acknowledged the other boy and working out did not require pleasantries.
