Mulan let out a breath as she turned the corner and headed towards the Martial Arts classroom. She was doing better, better than she had been earlier in the week, but things were hard. It was difficult to wake up and realize she wasn't going to be able to say 'Good Morning' to her sister, and not just for a holiday, either. Spending time with Kaoru and making potions had helped a lot, talking and spending time with Sebastian had helped more, and sticking to her class routine had done it's job as well, but still it hurt and she was beginning to need something, anything, to do to take her mind off of it all.

Thankfully, Zell had taken a rain check for a sparring session and let her cash in on it today. Reaching the door to the classroom, already bedecked in her usual training attire, she slipped off her shoes and carried them inside.

"Hey Zell.",she greeted with a smile, a smile that wasn't as bright as her usual one. Setting her things against one of the walls, she began to go through some warm up stretches.

Turning when he heard the door open, Zell flashed a smile and a quick wave. He was glad she ended up taking him up on his offer after all. Still seemed to be taking it hard, but he couldn't say he blamed her. He figured he'd be just as bummed if someone like Rinoa left.

"How's it goin'," was his reply. "Sucks we can't go outside."

To be honest, Zell loved the rain. He liked standing out in it. But there was a difference between standing in it and sparring in it-- especially on the grass. It inevitably lead to losing your footing and faceplanting on the ground, usually. The idea kind of made him laugh a little, but he brushed it off and half-heartedly went back to shadowbox. Mostly to occupy the time while Mulan did her warm-up stretches.

"It's going...pretty good.",she responded with a small laugh and a nod. Things would get better, she was just going to have to keep moving - like she had discussed with Kurt so long ago. Shaking her head at the thought of another person who had left, she focused her attention back towards her warm up. As she turned to the side, stretching out the right side of her body, she glanced out the window. It was pouring down in sheet and looked as if it might begin to lightning any moment now. "Mhmm, I really like the rain..."

Finishing up, Mulan did one more stretch and then ran towards a wall, flipping backwards off of it, getting herself completely flexible. The warm up was just what she needed to get in the right mood. Glancing over her shoulder towards Zell, she grinned. "Ready when you are."

"Glad t'hear it!"

And he was. Zell'd always admired people who could press on in spite of everything. Her remark on the rain brought a grin and a laugh out of him, "You too? Even when it's downpourin' like this, I find it really relaxin'."

Impressed by the show of acrobatics, Zell put up his dukes. "Bring it on!" he challenged good-spiritedly. He opted to start out simply, bouncing on the balls of his feet a couple times before taking a short bound towards Mulan and swinging out his leg to try and catch her behind the knees.
