Training Day

[knowledgeordeath]

Who: Kolivan and YOU
Broadcast: Nope
Action: On the Iskaulit
When: Today!

[Kolivan has been getting more familiar with locations here but one thing is clear...he needs to keep up with his own personal training. This may be a peaceful time here but he knows there are dangerous people already in this place. People he needs to prepare himself for should they decide to be anything less than peaceful.

So he's either in the gym or the obstacle course when he's not attending to his duties on the ship he was assigned. It means he's not asleep much but then again it's not like he is one to spend much time at rest. Not when he feels that there is a very real danger he needs to be prepared for. Just in case. Because he doesn't ever want to be caught off guard again and overwhelmed. He wants to be able to face his foes head on and not lose.

This also means it's easy enough to come across him and even if he doesn't look your way instantly it seems rather clear that he already knows you're there. Like he sensed your arrival. But it's only when he's finished a series of complex movements (with his sword and legs in the gym or through the more complicated area of the obstacle course) that he actually acknowledges you.]

Do you need something?

[It's gruff but...he's always like this. Don't mind him.]

[Tim will find Kolivan down at the obstacle course today. He's not surprised at the location at all. He seems to be a man of very strict routine.]

I don't need anything today. I was just going to get in some training, same as you. Don't want to get out of practice regardless of where we might be.

[He goes to pull out some gymnastics equipment like the balance bar and rings but stops.]

Unless you'd prefer I not get in the way? Or want to take a break for food?

[epistemically]

[ Krolia is ready. After running through Ulaz's obstacle course, she finds herself on the Iskaulit quite often to stretch her limbs and keep herself limber thanks to the low ceilings of her ship. She can't sit still, needing to constantly move. Which is how she ended up at the gym. Watching Kolivan as he moves with fluidity and grace. She could watch him for hours, but this time? She was here with a different purpose.

Of course, he knew of her arrival, but was he prepared for her to attack without notice?

She's quick to rush forward, leaping at him to tackle him to the ground with claws ready to dig into skin and teeth bared. She knew his limits (she knew most of his tricks) and she braced herself for his reaction time. ]

After Krolia's Match...

[Ulaz happened to be wandering by the gym, not necessarily to train but he had found himself there today. It wsn't hard to spot Kolivan inside, given that the leader was even taller than he was (one of the few here). But as he approached, not even really attempting to be quiet, he noticed something]

You are bleeding.

[tempredmental]

Nah. [Keith looked a little amused.] Just watching. I figured you'd find the gym and obstacle course fast enough. It doesn't have battle drones like the Castle of Lions, but it's better than nothing.

[Pidge had been wandering the Iskaulit today, lost in the screen of her device as she contemplated a new design for a patch in the engine room of her ship. It's a thing she's found herself doing on occasion; going for a walk in the middle of her work, just to stretch her legs out. She hasn't felt terribly Paladin-like lately - not since she and Keith sought out the wishing tree on the last planet - and it's left her more and more restless. As much as she loves her coding and engineering work, she can't help but feel like she's been slacking off.

So when she looks up at last, finds herself at the gym, and sees a familiar Galran face in the middle of what she assumes is a Blade of Marmora training routine, she finds herself struck with an idea. Probably not her best idea, but it'll give her exactly the thing she's looking for right now.]

Well- Not exactly. [She drops her display and tucks the device into her pocket as she steps closer, offering a slight, polite smile.] I heard you were here, but I guess I never got around to saying hi.

[Despite some whining every so often, Lance actually does work out and train quite a bit. More than he used to back home, even, despite threats being less here. He's always striving to be better, to be enough. Which is why he's already doing no less than four types of training, even if it exhausts him sometimes.

He missed gym time with Shiro and Keith this morning due to sleeping in, so he figures he'll make up for it now. When he gets there, he spots a familiar Galra, and gives him a wave.]

Uh, just came here to pump some iron and stuff.

<sub>[ Kirk came into the gym at an hour he didn't usually expect to find people there. He wanted a few rounds with a punching bag and some shadow boxing, help avoid the ever looming paunch if he let himself become complacent. Kolivan is certainly a surprise, though Kirk does not seemed shocked by his appearance so much as his presence.

He watches him quietly as he stretches, impressed by the movements and intrigued as well. They are rather unlike anything he has seen before, after all. ]</sub>

No, not anything necessarily. You were practicing some interesting moves though. What style?

[samahl]

[Cyril has found a new weapon, a bow that shoots energy beams instead of arrows, and needs to get used to it. He also needs to keep up his training to make sure his new arm is fully under his control.

He ends up at the gym to do that, but then Kolivan is there and everything about him is distracting. He ends up finding a place to sit and just watching.]

Oh, I can think of a few things... [Cyril replies, looking Kolivan up in down in as suggestive a way as possible.] But right now, I was going to test out this new bow and you were here so I'm afraid I was a little distracted.

[itsyagirl]

[Veronica was only walking by when she caught a glimpse of movement, and had to pause to watch Kolivan navigate the obstacle course. She's met him before, sort of, if very briefly, and has little knowledge of the Blades. Frankly, that deep-seated fear of Galra is still there, and despite the fact that she knows he's on their side, she's still...uneasy. Not quite afraid, but certainly not comfortable.

Still, she has to admit there's a fluidity and beauty to the way he moves. Far better than any human she's seen, anyway. Veronica blushes slightly when she's caught staring, and looks down, rubbing the back of her neck.]

Oh, um...no, no, I uh... I was walking by. Don't let me bother you.
