[1ordinarygirl]

It was very early on Saturday morning, so hopefully there wouldn't be anybody else around in the gym. She needed to work out some frustration, preferably without being recognized by more people she had never seen before in her life

Parker came in and headed for the mats, seeing that the bag was in use, and started to go through her aikido warm-ups. She nodded to Aeryn and Sam, then shook her head at all the new people. "I think we're going to need a bigger gym."

Joxer watched Parker's warm-ups with raised eyebrows.

"What style is that?" he asked.

Parker raised her eyebrows right back, but kept her voice mild, studying his armor. "Aikido. Japanese martial art. More about the throws and blocks than anything, although it works well with a kicking-and-punching style." She slowed to rest, then put her hands on her hips. "What have you studied?"

"Stick-the-sword-in-the-other-guy, mostly," Joxer said. "But my hands are lethal weapons. Self-taught." He put his hands on his hips and looked very smug. "They don't call me Joxer the Mighty for nothing."
