Working It Off - OTA (Warning: emo feral is emo... and sweaty)

Oct 31, 2010 14:06

Having left the cell block, Logan barely realized where he was going until he found himself at the gym. Yes.... That was good. He had to do something - anything to get his mind off this. Taking off his shirt, he tossed it aside - and kicked off his shoes, too, for good measure. The less getting in his way, the better. Piling on the weights until ( Read more... )

Teddy had let his workout routine slack in the recent move, and at his age it wasn't something he regularly let himself get away with, and as soon as he had settled and scoped out the base set for the Gym. He had seen it in passing and agreed with the nice and pristine layout of the room but could barely wait to test it out for himself.

He walked in with an easy spring to his step, and waved to Logan gently when he saw the man. "I ain't interrupting anything am I?"

Barely glancing at Teddy when he came in, Logan merely grunted in reply and kept on moving, shifting about as much weight as the machine could handle. He'd been at this for a while, now, and it wasn't long before even he needed a break, letting go of the handles and leaning forward, panting a little. A couple of seconds, and the burning feeling in his muscles was gone; a few more, and he'd have caught his breath and be ready for another round. But for now, he stalled, trying to postpone the inevitable. Waiting for the thoughts to resurface so he could fight them back again.

Watching Logan with a cautious eye, Teddy made a point to be quiet as he slipped off his jacket and swung his towel to lay on the bench beside him, watching the older man the whole time.

"You need to fight with somebody that can punch back Logan? Cause I doubt your gonna get too much relief from that equipment."

Logan wasn't sure he should fight, but it was tempting. Trying to wear out his body was a hopeless mission; sparring, at least, would let him tune out his thoughts, if he was challenged enough - and Teddy should be able to give him a decent fight.

Nodding slowly, Logan got up, stretching his back. "Let's do it."

With a nod, and friendly grin Teddy shifted into a standing position, readied his feet and smirked at Logan.
"Hand to Hand or you wanna use weapons?" He wasn't sure what the hell Logan perfered, but figured it would polite to ask.

Well, if the choice was his... "Hand to hand." That felt right. Clean and simple. Logan lifted his fists, deciding to let Teddy begin. He wanted to respond more than initiate - at least, for now. He was too damn confused and upset to risk letting loose, anyway.

"Good choice, just try not to shank me with those claws of yours alright?" Teddy was grinning as he moved towards Logan and took the first move to attack, aiming for some obvious pressure points to get the ball rolling.

Logan rolled his eyes at that. "You just be careful you don't break a hip." It was odd, seeing how Teddy'd gotten older, but right now, Logan was happy to use anything he could. He focused on blocking Teddy's blows for now, not trying too hard as yet; mostly, he was trying to see what he was up against.

with a snort Teddy gave Logan an overly exaggerated wink, and started to go for some less obvious attack points-using speed worthy of his twenty year old self (thank the gods for yoga).

"Aww we both know ya'd nurse my pretty ass back to health if I did."

Still not concentrating like he ought to - to be fair, he had a lot of shit on his mind right now - the increase in speed took Logan by surprise, and he growled as one of Teddy's blows connected.

"Don't count on it, pal." Having learned his lesson, Logan focused better, still going for the defensive at first - but when he saw an opening, he went for it, and he wasn't pulling his punches.

Teddy took the blow hard, but bounced back now equally cautious having learned his lesson. He had forgotten how damned fast Logan was and took more care in dodging and counter attacks.
"Ya know ya love my salt n'peppa look."
