Something that Panther had never been able to do with relative success. What do regular people do in free time? Party, drink, celebrate, stay at home, play games, spend time with family, stuff like that. He had little to no interest in any of those things, he'd much rather be in a lab dissecting a cellular organism and examining the ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and whatnot. There was no laboratory in the ship, so he found himself filling his time doing whatever he felt like. Passing time by wasting time, so to speak. As he walked down, he stopped in front of a advertisement poster, "Kickboxing Lessons." Relatively cheap price, seems like a regiment of training for both self-defense and physical fitness. He's seen the ones only for physical fitness, although they were often fun, marine training was more excessive. But he may as well, he was going to be posted in North Blue for a while. He lit a cigarette and moved towards the street address. Lyneel was an amazing place to live in, there was something about going to hell and battle in freezing snows, mudridden trenches and being under constant fire on murky seas and storms that makes a person appreciative of greenery. Kind of contradicting, to choose a life of the sea and yet love the land, he wouldn't mind retiring here, eventually, make a laboratory. Do experiments on insects or some such-- Oh this was the location. Nice place, figuratively speaking, nice location, good scenery, well furbished. He knocked on the door three times before opening. "Hello hello~" He spoke, cheerfully, revealing his slight accent on his speech. He looked completely odd from everyone else in the place. Whereas they were dressed in sporting and workout equipment, Panther was still dressed in a full black suit without the outer tuxedo, with the addition of steel studded gloves. An odd disposition, considering he didn't have a bag of clothing either.

And yet, Alina Kaelin still loved it. The normalcy of her life despite the abnormality she was made her happy. She was content living in her tiny home, making just enough money to get by. She was content waking up a five in the morning every day to go jogging down at the pier and then head to work to teach others how to defend themselves. Most of her students were teenagers and children. It was rare to actually see adults interested in self-defense. Most men bought swords and considered themselves an expert. And most women relied on said expert to protect them. Alina wished that at the very least more women would try and actually learn to take care of themselves, but it was just a hope. The redhead was dressed in her normal attire at the gym today. She wore black yoga capris that were tight and stretchy, allowing for maximum mobility. She had on a sports bra with a white t-shirt over it. While most of the females opted to train and teach in just the sports bra, Alina didn't have that leisure as hiding her wings proved too difficult and uncomfortable with such little clothing to work with. Her red hair was up in a pony tail, the dark pink tresses still extending down to the middle of her back. As she got done with her first morning class, she walked over to the fountain to get a sip of water and towel the sweat off her face. A knock on the front door made her perk up, and she glanced curiously as the dark-haired man entered the gym. "Good morning! Are you wishing to sign up for classes?" Alina smiled warmly at him and rested the white towel around the back of her shoulders. He was dressed nicely -- too nicely for training. She assumed he would be signing up for classes on a later date, or perhaps he was just lost and needed directions. She glanced down to her hands which were wrapped in white bandage for protection from cuts against the punching and speed bags. Her hands were slick with sweat, and she laughed with slight awkwardness in her tone as she turned her eyes back to him. "I'm Alina, one of the trainers here. I'd shake your hand, but you're dressed up really nicely."[/style]

It was a nice atmosphere though, hard work, intense physical training, no marine commander to shout at you while you do pushups and calling you a total sissy. He liked this place, music, paddings, fighting wraps, tiny little kids sweating their brows off attempting to adjust to the new physical training. Reminds him of when he was 13. He was spacing out around the club for a bit until he was addressed by a relatively high pitched voice. His ears perked up, and he turned his head. "Good morning! Are you wishing to sign up for classes?" Five feet approximately five to seven inches, long red hair. "Yes I am, and you've got a great smile there, kitten." He remarked, giving a cheery grin in return. "Did you know that smiling increases physical attractiveness for females, but not so much for males? It's strange. Apparently facial expressions that show guilt or shame are better, strange world we live in." He momentarily paused, realizing that he had gone off topic. It wasn't very often that he would find attractive women, being around them seemed to catch him off guard. "I'm Alina, one of the trainers here. I'd shake your hand, but you're dressed up really nicely." "Oh--this?" Panther hadn't noticed this himself, he really should have more casual clothing. "You're very polite to do so, but I don't mind Alina." He extended his hand outwards, after removing his glove. "Thomas A. Winfields, pleasure to meet you."

Kitten? Well, it was better than a rude or vulgar term. When he went on to inform her about what was socially considered attractive and unattractive for females and males, she just stared, nodding along like he was her teacher. Her slightly air-headed ways left her oblivious to the compliment, and she only smiled politely in return. When he held out his hand and introduced himself, she didn't vacillate in placing a light hand in his and shaking it. He seemed nice and courteous. She was excited to work with him. He hadn't answered her question, but she automatically assumed his replying to her greeting was an affirmation. "Well, you start a free one-day trial to see if you'll like it. After that, we can go over possible plans you'd like to pursue payment-wise. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun here! Is there a certain date you'd like to test us out?" Alina felt like she was babbling, but she knew it was customary to inform them of the trial and then the plans. She went being the front desk and bent down, digging through all the papers. She pulled out the trial sheet and wrote down his name in delicate cursive lettering. She glanced up to him and waited to hear his response. She opened her mouth to speak but closed it on impulse. She would've recommend he simply start now while she had a free block of time, but the way he was dressed made her mentally shake her head. That suit would simply be uncomfortable and hard to maneuver in, she mused.[/style]

After that, we can go over possible plans you'd like to pursue payment-wise. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun here! Is there a certain date you'd like to test us out?" Panther paused for a moment to take this all in. There was a one day free trial, a payment plan, and a specific date in which he could come over. With the marines having so many different shifts, it was going to be difficult for him to come over every day, perhaps limited to once every week? That would work out. "If possible, I'd like to try out now. While I still have umm, 'free time.'" He had no troubles in actually using a suit in physical training. As for the payment plans, he had to double check his time schedule. But he wasn't going to be here for an extensive period of time. "I'm not actually from around here, and I think I'll be off to East Blue in about three to four weeks time. Depending on the situation." He murmured to himself for a moment, counting something with his fingers, "If you want payment now, I'll be happy to give it. I simply didn't have much to do around here. So I'm currently having... 'free time.'" He hated that word. Taking a pen, he filled out all necessary information on the trial sheet. "Lyneel is a lovely place to live in. Plenty of greenery and nature." He remarked from out of the blue. "I come from a place called Illusia in West Blue. Heavily industrialized place, very little greenery, mostly a massive urban city with a whole lot of nightlife and mechanical noises in the background twenty-four-seven." He placed the clipboard and sheet with the pen back onto the counter. "Have you been doing kickboxing for a while?"

But he was warm and friendly nonetheless, and Alina liked that in a person. She hated being the only one with an energetic attitude. When the man told her he would like to start today, she only smiled and allowed him to sign the trial sheet. She assessed his attire once more. Well, he said he didn't mind, right? Maybe he didn't sweat as easily as others. That had to be it. Taking her sweat towel from around her neck, she hung it on a small rack and then grabbed the sign-in sheet, filling out her name under the instructor section and then placing the clipboard under the desk once more. "Follow me, please." When he told her he was only here for about a month, she glanced over in his direction and nodded. Their packages were primarily for residents of Lyneel Kingdom, but she would work to make a new one for him since he seemed so lost in his free time. Leading him into a matted room that was connected to the main heart of the gym, she propped the door open to make sure there was enough air flow. After readjusting the white taping around her hands, she crouched down to tie her shoes and began stretching, waving for him to sit down as well and begin stretching the muscles in his legs. "Illusia sounds nice. I've never been to such a place. I've been living in North Blue for about two years now. I started teaching classes last year." She smiled in his direction as she pulled her arm over her chest. "Do you have any experience in melee fighting?" She had heard of Illusia before. Alina had never really been around such a place. The only places she had ever been to were Skypeia and North Blue. Part of her thought traveling the world might be nice, but she mainly liked her normal life here in Lyneel. Nothing changed. Everything was a routine. She didn't mind it that way, though, as she still got to meet interesting people like this guy. He seemed confident and open, not at all timid like a lot of the students she taught first were. She assumed someone like him had some background in fighting simply because he looked well-build through his black suit. It was then she found herself staring at him for far longer than necessary, and she tore her eyes away. After she finished stretching, she stood up and waited for him.[/style]

Panther compliantly followed the fire haired instructor into the new room. Off set from the main room of the gym, the room was smaller than the main facility, he assumed it was for private lessons for people who needed a personal trainer. Since Alina had begun to stretch and tie her shoes, he too began to prepare himself. He removed his shoes, and socks, pulled off his gloves, removed his tie, unbuttoned the first two buttons of his collared shirt and began to roll up his sleeves to forearm length. His eye occasionally stared at Alina's frame as she stretched. He couldn't help it. She had a great body, well toned from fitness and she had the right genes from birth. "Hrm." He grunted, slightly, to hide his vision. "Illusia sounds nice. I've never been to such a place. I've been living in North Blue for about two years now. I started teaching classes last year. Do you have any experience in melee fighting?" He began to twist his waist, this was probably the only thing he did before prepping for physical activity, as well as popping his knuckles. He violently twisted to one side, with a massive crack, he violenty twisted towards the other side, ensuing an even louder crack. "Oof. Where did you live before?" He cast an inquisitive eye over at Alina, aside from the obvious flaming red hair, the uniquely colored eyes and the snow-like skin, he had to admit the general appearance was not one of a Lyneelian. "I have to say, you have a very unique appearance. And I've seen many people." But back to the question that she had asked before. "Ah..." Well yes, he did have hand-to-hand training, but he wondered if that was going to have an effect on his training here. "Well... some training. But if we ever decide to 'dance', go easy on me, or I'd probably cry, and who would want to put a frown on this handsome face?" He pointed to himself with a thumb, giving a self-amused beam. "By the looks of it though, you know quite a lot about hand-to-hand." He could tell from the first glance, shoulders relaxed, perfect form, muscles constricted by also at the same time given a form of flexibility that can only be trained over time. And although her body's structure was lithe, her movements and her muscles acted like a coil, allowing her to spring in quick bursts. "I'm ready to begin" He teased, imitating Bruce Lee's fighting dance, "Eyeee of the tiiiiigerrrr~" [/style][STYLE=float: left;width: 250px;padding-left: 10px;font-size: 10px]Notes: -- Word count: -- Tagged: dat ami template by pianissimo of btn[/style][STYLE=color: #4a4d5a; font-family: georgia; font-size: 40px; letter-spacing: -5;line-height: 23px;margin-right: 5px;float: right;width: 120px;text-align: right;]and prior to this shit was moving free base.[/style]
