Date & Time: 4/23
Location: the training building
Characters: Leo and OPEN
Summary: Leo's destroying tinkering with things
Warnings: None~

Leo had started on ideas to fix up the training building before the first mission, but then he had gotten wrapped up with it, and....well, he got distracted. It happened so easily sometimes, he couldn't help it.

But with the mission over, and a little too much free time on his hands, he got back to work. He had already made a rock climbing wall (one that moved and shot out flames!), so now he was back in the training hall, trying to decide what to work on next.

So if you come in the training hall, you might find a male studying what he thought to be crude devices for training, or you might find him already tinkering on something, more specifically something of yours. Feel the need to bother him?

"Who said anything about trust?"

You may never find out what changed her mind, Leo. Never. Though it has been a mission and some time alone thinking since she told him that.

She ups the difficulty another notch... And another. "I don't have to trust you to train you... At least if I'm responsible for your fighting style, I'll know how to beat you if you stab me in the back."

[morsecodes]

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say." Leo just smirks. He may not know what changed her mind, but he knows her mind was changed either way.

"If you really didn't trust me, you wouldn't be on my machine. Just saying."

[bellonaborn]

That was all that needed to be said for her to stop. She was stubborn enough to not admit he was right. She stopped running almost right after he said that and let the treadmill pull her back, hopping off the end of the belt as she reached it. "Thanks for the reminder."

The smile she offered was smug, not in any way polite, but just a hint mischievous.

[morsecodes]

"Wha-- hey, c'mon! You were totally digging the thing. Don't stop because of me." Leo grumbled. Okay, that wasn't fair. She was just being stubborn, she had to be.

A small smile that lasted for a fraction of a second, Reyna leaned over to grab a towel to wipe some sweat from her brow. "I'll let someone else be the guinea pig for it, graecus."

Tossing the towel over the bar, she grabbed her spear and adjusted it in her grip. "Why don't we get started on your lessons, hm? It will be far more productive for the both of us."

[morsecodes]

"Oh. You mean. Right now?" Leo pauses, looking around nervously, then back at her.

He wasn't sure what to do. He wanted to learn, but she seemed kind of mad and that scared him. She scared him, but he wasn't going to admit that. So he made himself act all cool about it, shrugging. "I mean, if you think you can take me."

[bellonaborn]

Oh no, Leo. Reyna's far from mad right now. But that nervous look? Was all she really needed to see in order to know where she stood with him. She still held her authority. "Big words to tell a daughter of Bellona, graecus."

Smiling slightly? Only maybe.... If he looks really hard he might see a sliver of a smile. "Let's see what you've got."

[morsecodes]

Yeah, she held it. She was scary, okay? He couldn't help it. But that didn't mean she was any less hot.

And he totally misses the smile, reaching into his toolbelt and pulling out the hammer he favored in battle.

"So, um-- you go or I go?"

[bellonaborn]

A hammer. How cute. Spear held firmly to the side, Reyna's smirk was completely on display now. It may have added to how frightening she could look, but for the most part she was just amused.

"You go ahead.... I should see what I'm working with."
