Old Habits [Nexus, Kara, Ali]

[onemorebounty]

*There are places in the Nexus that become familiar, if one visits them often enough, and the routes to those places become familiar too. Threading a path through the insane architecture of the place, Samus leads the way to a large, airy room. A row of windows line one of the walls near the ceiling, golden light slanting into the room from stars-know-where to pool on the sanded wood floor. Against one wall stand plain wooden benches, opposite a row of full-length mirrors. The remaining two walls are filled with assortments of weights and practice weapons, respectively. The air is dry, cool, and crisp, and every sound has a slight echo.*

We'll start here. And Ali, thank you for joining us.

*She casts a little smirk Kara's way.*

You might want to get used to this room; you'll be seeing plenty of it.
