Private Lessons

[Halle]

((ha.))

Ryan leans over on the mat to stretch. Another day with the terminator. Yay.

[Halle]

Ryan tries to reach her toes unsuccessfully. She had awful flexibility.

[B.L.]

Damien walks swiftly into the room and see's Ryan trying to...well he wasnt sure what she was trying to do but it looked uncomfortable 'Ryan i didnt think you were in here because there was no loud complaining sounds coming from in here' Damien says with a small smile.

[Halle]

Ryan shoots him a death glare, and continues reaching for her toes.

[B.L.]

Damien continues to watch her, still unsure about what it is she is trying to do, whatever it is, she seems to be failing.

[Halle]

Ryan says, "Are we going to train, or not?"

[B.L.]

'If you lose the atittude and stop..whatever it is your doing, then yes' says Damien.

[Halle]

Ryan glares. "I'm trying to touch my toes," she says icily.

[B.L.]

Damien says with a slight smirk 'ah right..and how is that going?'

[Halle]

Ryan huffs. "Not well," she says.

[B.L.]

Damien's smile widens 'well thats not good is it'

[Halle]

"Obviously," Ryan deadpans.

[B.L.]

Damien goes over to Ryan and says 'is there anything you particularly want to work on...that doesnt involve your toes'

[Halle]

Ryan shrugs. "I don't care," she tells him. "You're in charge."

[B.L.]

Damien shaks his head and laughs 'oh so now you admit that, good, how about we try that kicking again, see if you can remember what i told you' he gestures to the bag.

[Halle]

Ryan gets up and half-heartedly kicks the bag. It was a good kick, but the bag only swings a couple of times. "Ta-da," she says.

[B.L.]

'Nice...if you were kicking a cloud then im sure you woud win the fight, possibly, but how about you give it a proper go' says Damien as he looks over at Ryan with a quirked eyebrow.

[Halle]

Ryan gets angry and kicks the bag harder. "Happy?" she asks.

[B.L.]

'This isnt about me being happy is it' Damien sighs 'this is about you being a better fighter alright, now kick it again wihtout the atittude'

[Halle]

Ryan pulls a face and kicks the bag again.

[B.L.]

Damien nods at Ryan and says 'right thats better, now group that together with the punching, and do it for 30 minutes'

[Halle]

Ryan groans and places the back of her hand on her forehead. "Thirty minutes?" she asks.

[B.L.]

'well we could make it an hour if you'd like' says Damien with a smirk.

[Halle]

Ryan shoots him a look, and gets started.

[B.L.]

Damien steps back to watch Ryan, occasionally he would step in to tell her how to kick harder or punch with all her weight.

[Halle]

Ryan grits her teeth every time Damien has a stupid comment. Thirty minutes later, she stopped.

[B.L.]

Damien smiles and says 'good work, now lets do some running, 150 times up and down Ryan'

[Halle]

Ryan gapes at him. She closes her mouth and tightens her jaw. She starts running.

[B.L.]

Damien watches Ryan run, after a while she slows down almost to a walk an damien shouts out 'come on Ryan, if you cant fight the least you can do is learn to run away from the enemy'

[Halle]

"Yes," she says, "because I'm sure they'd let me go if I can run for an hour straight." She picks up her pace, though.

[B.L.]

Damien ignores her comment and crosses his arms over his chest his black shirt tightens over his broad shoulders.

[Halle]

(( He does that often. ))

Ryan's legs quiver after she finishes, but she doesn't show the exhaustion on her face.

[B.L.]

(as often as yours gets pissy ;)

Damien smiles slightly at Ryan 'feel good now, ready for those sit ups?'

[Halle]

Ryan shrugs and winces slightly as she lays down on the mat to start.

[B.L.]

'Do about 50 to start alright' says Damien

[Halle]

Ryan glares at him and starts.

[B.L.]

Damien smiles and says 'just say if you've had enough'

[Halle]

Ryan snaps, "I'm fine." She keeps going, but this time she tries to go harder.

[B.L.]

Damien almost rolls his eyes at her anger, but says instead 'alright as long as your FINE'

[Halle]

"Then it's a good thing I said I'm fine," she breathes out.

[B.L.]

'yes it is Ryan' says Damien simply, his mind wanders to his brother, his stupid brother who was likely to get himself killed if he didnt start going to his classes. He also thought of Rory, and then he pushed those thoughts away.

[Halle]

(( OOOOHHHHH!!!! ;)))

Ryan's stomach clenches as she finishes her first set. 'I'm gonna throw up!' she thinks. "Anything else?" she pushes out of her mouth.

[B.L.]

'well i was going to suggest some push ups but if you dont think you can handle it then by all means go throw up' says Damien a slight smirk on his face at Ryan's expression.

[Halle]

((OH!))

Ryan swallows. "I'm fine," she repeats.

[B.L.]

Damien kneels down so he is at face level with her 'are you sure, because i sure as hell dont want to explain why you were sick all over the training room floor'

[Halle]

Ryan blinks. "I didn't eat," she admits. "All day. Spencer and I have been looking for Ellie every break, but we can't find her," she explains. She bites her lip hard enough to taste blood. "No one has seen her since... lunch yesterday."

[B.L.]

Damien looks at Ryan in a concerned way and says 'where do you think she might have gone?'

[Halle]

"I don't know!" she explodes. "She shares a room with me, and she either has me or Spence in every class." Ryan shrugs. "We've checked all over campus."

[B.L.]

Damien runs a hand through his hair and says 'Is there anybody who might have gone with her? If you want me to find her i can'

[Halle]

Ryan blinks. "I don't think she was talking to anyone but me and Spence lately," she says. "And why would you help Ellie after she was mean to Rory?" she asks. Ryan remembers the brutal things Ellie said with a grimace.
