Other than dancing... baking sweets for people. Working out at the gym, especially with someone else. And, ah... spending time with Intensity.

["spending time"]

Let me know if you'd ever like to dance again. I kind of want to learn some of the other types of dance and, uh, maybe get a bit better at the tango. [ for reasons. ]

You bake? If you ever need a taste tester I'd be happy to help. [ shameless plug for a sweet tooth. ]

Oh, good, maybe he'll eventually relax a little... [ UNLIKELY. ]

I'll keep it in mind.

And he relaxes sometimes. Maybe not in a general way.

I'm glad to hear that. I worry about him sometimes...

Yeah, he can be pretty extreme. But he still has normal human feelings sometimes. He even gets pretty romantic...

[ not that he wants to hear anymore about intensity and romanticism, but he smiles all the same because they’ve both got to be happy. ]

Cute. I’m sure Valentine’s Day was, uhm, fun.

[turns swiftly red]

I-It was fun, yes.

I, ah, g- good - I'm glad.

[ oh god abort!!! ]

[/////]

[She opens her mouth and then closes it again as she attempts to come up with something appropriate to add to that.]

[ it's a dead end. fff. ]

Do you, uh, n- normally go to the gym with somebody? Or just find someone there to workout with, since you, ah, said you like working out with a partner.

...For a while Joker and I were training together. That... fell off a bit. I've gone with X too, and a few other people. No one regularly.

I'm not sure if you'd prefer somebody more experienced, but thanks to Cobalt and Nemesis' tutelage I might not be the worst candidate. [ a halfhearted laugh followed by a shrug. ] If not, then maybe I'll see you at the gym sometime. I go pretty regularly, since I'd like to be able to defend myself and my friends if push comes to shove.

I wouldn't mind. I prefer doing general body conditioning stuff, though, not specifically training to fight. Though I can show you some of that too, if you want.

I'd like that. A- And training to fight is more of an end goal, since I, ah, still have a long ways to go. Do you like running?

Yeah.

Great! Let's run together then.

Sure. Grab me anytime.

I will.

[ and then he'll spin her around, because they're still technically supposed to be dancing. ]

[She huffs a laugh as she turns one more turn than necessary before stepping closer again]

[ smiles, a devious glint in his eyes, because he’s feeling a bit bolder. Hm. let’s see if he can’t add another couple of steps as he simultaneously quickens the face of the dance. she’d gotten a bit comfortable with the steps, right, so this shouldn’t be too difficult. or here’s to hoping! ]

Ah...

[She has very quick reaction time, at least, so while it takes her a moment to get into the swing of it, she matches his pace easily]

I think you're my most skilled dance partner yet.

[///]

T-Thank you. I guess a few skills can carry over, anyway.

[ he considers dipping her, but their height difference might make that a bit difficult, and the last thing he'd like to do is drop her. ]

It's not often you find somebody that you sync up with, especially in dance, or so I, ah, imagine. I've danced with a couple people this evening and... [ he hadn't been nearly as successful with all of these steps. ]

Thank you, Maki, for the dance. It was a lot of fun!

...Yeah, I think so too.
