Atlas Gym; Tuesday [06/25].

[sword_chocobro]

Just as he suspected, the dumbbell drinks he'd found at the shop yesterday were also a big hit with staff at the gym, so Gladio was planning on bugging Summer a little when she came in later about contacting that distributor to see if they could get something set up for the gym, too. There was a good chance that it might fall through, considering how many things randomly showed up from all sorts of places without a paper trail (ahem, ahem), but it was definitely going to be worth a try.

He was also sort of wondering how long it would be before his staff tried pranking each other by trying to find other things to put in the bottles to throw off the expected weight, and the answer was: literally by that afternoon.

Good job, guys. Way to never disappoint.

Atlas is open!

Of course the shopping Summer had done over the weekend had included picking up some new workout clothes!

And of course they were green!

Because Ireland!

Shut up, she looked cute, and she was ready to get her workout on, although she was mostly focusing on upper body stuff, because damn, all that dancing and horseback riding (and other stuff, ayyyyyyy) had left her still a little sore even on Tuesday.

Nell was practicing some of the new months she'd learned from Lana's warrior women. It was a little trickier, but she she was getting the hang of it!

Gladio had watched and noticed some of the differences from Nell's usual routine with a curious interest.

"Picked up some new techniques on your last visit?" he guessed.

[mylandmyrules]

Nell laughed breathlessly. "Yes! Aren't they cool?"

She demonstrated one of the sequences again. "I particularly like this one, but I always seem to be dropping my shoulder as I go into that last part."

Gladio had been paying particularly close attention when Nell demonstrated, so that he could mildly mimic some of the movements himself, and then he nodded. "Yeah, I can see how that might be the natural inclination. I know I would have to work to break that habit, but I'm always just throwing my shoulder into things."

It was a good strong shoulder! Especially when it had a shield along with it, too...

"Mind teaching me a few?"

Whenever he asked her to show him something it just made her so very happy. As if she mattered even more at that moment. Not the he didn't always make her feel important, but there was something about being able to show him a thing related to his specialty that made her particularly happy.

"Of course!" she said, grinning up at him. "This one is very fun."

Nell demonstrated - going through it once at full speed, then again more slowly. "See?"

Stark was there after class, as usual. Not covered in bananas, still in a good mood, and headed to the mats for some stretching before he did anything else.

"Morning, Gladio!"
