Timber Wolf has posed:
The Legion cruiser has a gym, which is where Brin is currently. He's not at any of the machines yet, instead he's limbring up iwith a book in hand.

"So, lt's see" Brin says, "Sweep a leg, and get on top of them and punch them? Okay" Brin says and snaps the book closed. He's not hard to miss, really in jeans and a (wolf head emblem) t-shirt. Brin's not hard to miss and he's invited his friends on the cruiser to come over here and enjoy learning and working at.

Shadow Lass has posed:
Shady was on the bags, hung from the ceiling. Despite her wailing on them, they had been extra firm, and she was sweaty. "What do you mean?" *pow* One more hit. "Niiice."

Timber Wolf has posed:
Brin nods to Shady, "You're doing good" he calls over, "Try mixing in some kicks and vary it up" he offers going over to another bag to show what he means. Kicks, punches, the odd headbutt, and...yes, nails first. Sure the bag's firm but, just means Brin can beat on his punching bag more.

Thud, thud, punch, thud. "Yes" Brin growls, "mix it up and keep the bag off balance"

Shadow Lass has posed:
"Yeah? Imra said something. She said perhaps I could find fight on earth." Shady grins a little bit "I like that. Though, hrm." *kick punch punch kick* and *head butt* Her bag rumbles with the strain. Shady stops it. "Do they make believe about everything? I caught a program - they are called programs - and there was blood. How?"

Timber Wolf has posed:
"Humans have blood in them" Brin says. "Drake's around here somewhere though" Brin says, "Humans bleed when they are hurt"

Brin's looking over to Shady. "You're doing great! I should watch these programs" he adds with a grin.

Shadow Lass has posed:
"I'm better than you, that's for certain!" Shady settles down into a ritual. *thunk thunk* Duck. *thunk thunk* Kick. *thunk thunk* "And I know humans have blood. I'm meaning, how do you pretend to have serious injury in those reality shows? If they are all pretend, then how? Serious. I watched quite a bit of them." What she didn't explain was that after the mixed martial arts, she watched WWF. Which was like candy to her brain.

Timber Wolf has posed:
Brin isn't going to take that lying down, Shady is, though better than him but to punch him in his pride? Not cool, Shady...to use a human saying. "So you saw blood on TV?" he asks. "Okay we need to watch those programs and see what's going on with them then and see if it's real blood or not" he decides, giving the bag a few kicks for good measure. One, two, headbutt the bag. Alright, it was more a faceplant but he'll call it a headbutt.

"What programs?" he asks between kicks. More like "What?" Kick, "Program?"

Shadow Lass has posed:
Shady frowns. On one hand she's sorry for bringing it up; on the other hand, it's true. She was amongst the best in the Legion.. "Sorry. I'll help you. Peace?" But the other thing.. "I watched mixed martial arts. There were some that seemed to be underground?" They really were. Underground. She still has to mention the WWF.

Timber Wolf has posed:
Now she's got Brin curious. "What's that about?" he asks. Brin's genuienly not heard of it in the least. Norr done much research because, well, Legion stuff's taken priority. Oh and cotton candy too.

Shadow Lass has posed:
"Well, when I typed it in, there was a class called 'Underground'. They were similar to the other, but more.. jugular?"

Timber Wolf has posed:
"So they want blood?" Brin asks. Okay this is interesting, maybe he'll need to sit down with Shady and go over this underground stuff at some point. Still adding a few kicks to the bag, Brin lashes at it with a kick, leg whipping forward as he speaks. "Where'd you see and type all this?"

Please let it not be on our ship...Brin's not wanting to explain all this to Larr if it's an issue. Though hmm.....

"You think?" Brin asks simply, hand on the bag as he's panting a little, "There's much to learn from those fights?"

Shadow Lass has posed:
"I found it on my own. Not on the ship's logbanks." Shady takes the time to slow down, and breathe deeply. "I think so. At least they had no sidebars where they could have a time out. They were in a cage. No time out."

She furrows her brows. "Yes. I think every bit that we can see or experience of their fighting is always beneficial. Why?"

Timber Wolf has posed:
"Go on" Brin says and settles on the floor to listen and get his breath back. See, smart" Brin nods as he gets back to his feet again, "You think we need to experience this underground stuff? I like your thinking, we get to fight people because that's what happens. I like what you're thinking" Brin offers, and looks pleased. "I was going to grab a drink, you want anything?"

Shadow Lass has posed:
"Well, I can't speak for *you*, but I am very interested." Pause. "For science sakes." Shady winks. "Nah, I need a shower."

Timber Wolf has posed:
Looking over the equipment Brin grins, "You know me too well, Shady. Science involves fighting yes?" je asks as he heads for the door and looks over his shoulder. "You're dangerous, you know that?" he adds. See, Shady's better than him at fighting, true
