Jayden Price. One of the pilots of the Goldstone. Nice to meet you.

And no, don't mind at all. Plenty of room. [ She jerks her thumb toward the punching bag. ] I'll even dial back the electricity so you don't get a static shock.

[ Har har. ]

_{[ Goldstone, huh. Not that he had anything against the ship, it was just a name that was a bit bitter in connection with a disagreement he had going on with one of his own crew. ]}

Good thing I left the pace maker at home then.

_{[ He smirked, rolling his neck with a sharp crack. Bones would have had a fit over that. ]}

Wanna upgrade from the dummy to a real partner?

[stormfist]

[ Jayden's managed to stay out of ship politics, by some miracle. The resting bitch face probably helps. Not that she's not protective of her crew - she's security here for a reason, and a soldier back home, after all - but anything too deep is... too messy for her, most days.

But the pace maker joke gets another brief smile out of her. ]

I'm up for it if you are. Any ground rules?

[ She'd rather not sling her arc lightning around if it's gonna make anything worse. ]

[universal_charm]

Please don't make me need a pacemaker.

_{[ Aka, please hold back on the electricity. He's been shocked before in his life and he would really rather not do that again if he can help it, thank you. ]}

First to cry uncle or get thrown from the mats?

_{[ He arched a brow, continuing to stretch as he waited on a response. ]}

[stormfist]

[ She laughs a bit at that. ]

I won't. Promise. [ Nod ] Sounds good.

[ She rolls her shoulders, ready to go once he is. ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He grinned brightly and lowered himself into a defensive starting position, watching her for a moment before he lunged in. He came low, aiming around her hips, wanting to throw off her balance, arms crossed to push at her with his forearms. ]}

[stormfist]

[ She's watching him pretty carefully, so when he comes at her like that, she's ready. She blocks low, uses his own momentum against him by twisting to the side and letting him continue forward.

Definitely an interesting start, she thinks - she'll have to keep her guard up, especially if he keeps trying to throw her off her game like that. ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He goes with the momentum, letting himself dip forward. He braced on his hands and twisted his hips, lashing out in a low leg strike - hit or miss he would carry through in a full spin and push himself back to get space again. ]}

[stormfist]

[ It hits, but she recovers before she completely falls over, instead stumbling to the side. But once she has her feet back under her, she closes that distance between them with a back hand strike aimed at his shoulder. ]
