4th Floor Common Room - Monday Evening

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose had a plan.  A plan to prepare for the inevitable bruises and stiffness that was going to result from her spar with Worf earlier. 

And so she was laying on one of the couches in the Common Room, flipping through the channels and looking for something good on.

Luckily she'd never claimed that it was a good plan.

She paused at baseball for a moment then moved on.  There had to be something better than watching old men throw balls around.

Oh hey, that was right up Rose's line of interest. "Yeah? Who'd you get?" she asked curiously.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Tyler Durden. He helps run the fight club." In case Rose didn't know that.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"I've met him," Rose said. "He seemed like he really knew his stuff." She thought for a second. "I saw you at fight club yesterday, right?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Probably," Triela nodded in agreement. "First day."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Just my third," Rose empathised. "If you ever want to spar or anything, I'm always ready to."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"I might be. But I'm enhanced, and I don't really know how to... what's the word? Pull my punches?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose shrugged. "I'm used to it."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Then maybe I'll take you up on that some time. After Tyler says I'm cleared for general sparring."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Anytime," Rose repeated with a quick smile. "When you say 'enhanced', you mean stronger than normal and all that?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Speed, strength, endurance, damage resistance. Anything the tech guys could pack in."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

She was used to non-humans and part-humans, being one herself, but the tech guys was a new one. "That's - useful?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Well, there are side-effects, but mostly, yeah"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Like no flirting. Which was a major side-effect if you asked Rose.

"To help with the mission thing mainly then?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Well, that and to interface all the machinery with my nervous system. It's not exactly plug and play." Though, really, the emotional suppression did help with missions. Not having a conscience was pretty useful.

Rose snickered. "Yeah, I'd think." She smiled at Triela. "Offer's still out there even knowing that."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Fair enough." Triela flashed a grin as she finished brewing her tea. "I'll remember."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose leaned back against the couch, shifting her weight away from the hip that was starting to throb. "Anything else fun happen? Other than random visitors and all that?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Nothing really," Triela shrugged.

"Tea?" she gestured in Rose's directin with her cup.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

She couldn't help making a face "No. Thank you. I don't like it."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Fair enough," Triela shrugged. There were plenty of things she didn't lie, after all.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose turned back to the TV, flipping the channel to what looked like a romantic - something. She quickly changed it on to a sports show. "Ever think about that flirting thing?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Not much," Triela shrugged. "I mean... it's not..." She trailed of lamely. It... wasn't.

Boy was she in for a surprise later in the week.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Not useful or not any fun?" Rose asked.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Either? Both?" Triela trailed off again. "I guess it's just not something I have much experience with."

Like wearing dresses. Or talking about feelings. Or stuff like that.

Rose smirked as she looked over at Triela. "Oh. You mean like hand to hand."
