Atlas Gym, Friday Evening

As per River's handwavey instructions, Kerrigan was in the gym this evening, going through a warm-up while she waited for the young telepath to arrive.

If River's training had been anything like hers, it might well be interesting.

She probably had to start stocking up on the era's equivalent of first aid soon, anyway.

[ Kerrigan's here for River, but open for all your gymly needs ]

River arrived at the gym after finishing work at the Hotel. She entered quietly, and knew better than to try and sneak up on Kerrigan. Not that she would have expected it to work.

River smiled back, her weight shifting playfully from one foot to the other. "Hello. Good day?"

River's smiled widened into a grin. "So they do. Start?"

After a second of standing completely still, River lunged at Kerrigan's right arm, then did a last moment turn and went for the left one.

River spun around to direct to force of the blow from her body, and then struck again after a full circle, at Kerrigan's other arm, a somewhat predictable blow.

River bent backwards, avoiding it and kicked back lower, aiming for Kerrigan's knees.

River tipped her head forward, avoiding most of the force of the blow, but it still made her eyes water. She leapt forward, on to her hands, using the force of the movement to kick backwards at Kerrigan.

There was something - River couldn't quite place it - that Kerrigan did, and it made her heighten her awareness and roll out of reach, ending up crouched on her feet.

You did something. It wasn't a reproachful comment, just one of curiosity. River straightened up.

I have mine. River grinned, then spun around, fast, moving her body like in a dance as she went for Kerrigan with kicks and punches.

River had rarely met someone who could match her speed, and she felt Kerrigan's arm around her neck. Before the arm could lock around her she sank to her knees, slipping out of the grasp.

River took the offered moment and dived to her left, rolling and getting to her feet again, before launching another spinning attack.

That hurt. River felt blood pouring from her nose, but didn't stop, just crouched low to make a sweeping kick aimed at Kerrigan's knees.

"Ok." River wiped the blood from her nose. "End for today?" She grinned at Kerrigan, her face smeared with blood.

"It will stop soon. Just a nosebleed." She leaned her head backwards. "Not many manage to hit me." She giggled.

"You are. So am I." The blood had stopped flowing from her nose.
