[If one were to pass by the gym and glance inside, they would find Vie. She's bouncing about on the matted floor, practicing fighting motions, flips, turns and going through the actions of general fighting. The girl is moving rather well, footsteps practically silent as she slowly bends to do a lazy handstand. The motion is held for a short moment

Only always. If you're up for the challenge, you're welcome to join me.

Ah, see, ye might have to promise me you'll be gentle.

I'll only play as rough as you like, promise.

[A wink turns out to be more like two minutes, but a change of clothes and an elevator ride later, and a Sean bedecked in sweats, a grayed-out men's tank, and sneakers emerges from the shaft. The vines on his left bicep stand out in particular.]
Vie? Oiiii!

Over here!

[He is well aware of just how flexible Vie can be. Especially with a partner.
But that is neither here nor there and Sean is slinking over to where she stretches like the self-satisfied mongrel he is.]
What's the score?

[She rolls to her feet and moves towards him, still smiling to herself. The tattoo on his arm earns an appreciative glance, as does the rest of him a moment later. Vie figures Sean already has a fair idea of her affections for him. For now, she makes no effort to hide it.]

I dunno, Vie, if you've already wasted the mat I just can't see how I'd pose any challenge.
[Sean drifts forward a little, making it look like an absent thing and not a keen space invasion.] Buuuut if ye'll have me...

She lets him approach to a set distance and then moves with him. Sure, she's letting him control the direction and general pace, but Vie keeps that distance at one she chooses. Smirk pulling at her lips, she speaks.]
Are we dancing, Sean?
[It's a joke and a hopeful distraction. A moment later Vie is swinging a quick punch for his side. The attack isn't really intended to hurt, assuming it hits at all, rather just get some kind of action happening.]

[He can tell she held back a little on that swing. Sean lets his right arm take the brunt of it, teeth flashing as if she'd told him a joke.]
