CASTLE ♔ TAKING INITIATIVE

[pontiac]

WHO || Jimmy and OTA
WHAT || A complete and total lack of physical fitness. Probably Jimmy being pathetic or something.
WHERE || Castle fitness center.
WHEN || Afternoon of the 20th.
HOW || Actionspam.

[After sitting on his hands so long it drove him crazy and studying into the nature behind the knights and their presence historically Jimmy finally decided to make his way to the castle fitness center. First, just to check it out, and hopefully enlist the help of someone that could train him to be better in combat and of more use on the battlefield.]

[Rose was exactly where she could usually be found in the Castle, hands taped as she worked over a training dummy, sweat tricking from her forehead and trailing a tiny river down her spine.

Her eyes lifted as Jimmy entered, flashing him a brief smile as she caught sight of him out of her periphery and continued to pummel her target for another few moments before breaking to get a drink, snatching a towel from the ground where she'd dumped her stuff.]

Haven't seen you in here before.

[beseeched]

[At first he didn't notice Rose in the gym, but when she makes herself known he wonders how long she's been in here. She's dripping with sweat and she looks winded, even though she's not panting or showing any signs of physical exertion.]

That's probably because I've never been in here before.

[littledhampir]

Have you been in... any gym before? [Those words sounding a little harsher than she intended but well...] No offense you just look. Lost? [That sounded much nicer than ya know. Soft.]

[beseeched]

I used to jog every morning before work. [Jimmy gives an uncertain shrug of his shoulders and lets his hands drop to his sides with the movement.] I've been inside gyms before. I just don't have a lot of experience in, um, fighting.

[littledhampir]

And by not a lot do you have, any? [Rose Hathaway, always on hand to ask things in the worst possible way.] I mean it's cool if you don't. Not like you'd be the first person to show up lacking in those kind of skills. [See; Aurelius for Rose's prime example.]

[beseeched]

I've gotten into some fist fights before. I'm not a rookie. I just don't have a lot of experience. Nothing professional.

[He doesn't look impressed or amused, but he does his best to feign indifference.]

[littledhampir]

[She's at least nice enough to not point out that around the Castle, that was a Rookie.]

Well? Good thing about being here. There's plenty of people who can train you. [A beat.] Who'd you get as your Knight?

[beseeched]

I think his name was Kadir.

[Jimmy remembered the instance pretty well. Complete discomfort and feeling like he was under a microscope.]

Pretty nice guy.

[littledhampir]

[Her brow furrowed as she tried to place this Kadir, after a moment shrugging.]

Don't know him... But that's not uncommon round here. We're always getting shipped off on Missions. [A beat.] Though I can't seem to be sent anywhere new yet.

[beseeched]

I'm hoping I'll be able to get some training in before getting sent out.

[The last thing he wanted to do was get sent on a mission and wind up dyin right out of the gate.]
