The Gym - Wednesday Afternoon

Rose hadn't been laying off training exactly, but getting to shoot in Criminal Justice today made her realise that she hadn't been working quuuuite as hard as she had been a few weeks ago.

Which was why she headed down to the gym after lunch, dropped her bag against the wall and started to work over the heavy bag over, punching and kicking slower at first and then faster and faster until she was working full out.

"Why'd you think that?" he asked, coming closer. "I've been around. Maybe you were the one to disappear."

"And obviously I didn't disappear since I'm right here," he pointed out. "Maybe you weren't looking in the right place."

"You looked enough to think I disappeared," he pointed out. "That takes some attention."

"But you're wrong because I was around," he told her. "And my name isn't girly. It's just stupid."

"Hey, I know my name sucks," he said and shrugged. "Not something I can change. And it can't be shortened either. What's got you beating the crap out of the bag today?"

"Stop," he said and made a face, "Rosie. And nah, I'm more an endurance and weights guy. I do all my fighting against real people."

"Boxing," he answered, shrugging. "Getting into fights I can't win but learning anyway. Video games. Movies."

"Don't sound so skeptical," Hannibal said, snickering. "It's not as dumb as it sounds. When you're a kid, it's one of the few things you might have easy access to. Watch a movie enough and you pick up a few things."

"What, you want a demonstration?" he asked. "You're that much of a skeptic?"

"I didn't think I was talking a big talk at all," he replied, shaking his head. "Stating a few facts and suddenly, you're doubting me. I think you just wanna see me sweat."

"You saying you don't want to see me sweat?" he asked innocently.

"Oh, I was planning on it," he assured her, stretching his wrists and arms. "The means of sweating is still up in the air."

"You just wanna see me fail," he decided, grinning briefly. "So, you can get a good laugh. Don't you?"
