The new year certainly was pleasant, wasn't it? I think I enjoy this world's holidays.

[Lust's curled up in her living room on the couch, tucked under a blanket with a mug of cocoa and her 'gear propped up on the coffee table in front of her. Her recently hatched shiny Houndour is half across her lap.]

But now that the holiday has passed, I had a query for those who have formalized exercising routines. I've found myself needing to keep fit not simply for aesthetic reasons, but due to a professional need for peak physical condition. Flexibility, muscle strength, physical reaction time...

I've never had to work to keep up with those things before and the sooner I get some formal discipline in my routine, the better. I'd appreciate any advice or specific schools of practice that could be recommended.

What makes you a "professional," that you're being paid to do something dangerous that you've never done before now?

[a_sin_for_him]

We've done similar before. We chose something suited to our existing skills.

[envy_the_sinners]

And those 'skills' aren't being augmented, anymore.

[a_sin_for_him]

No, they aren't. But they didn't just disappear, either. I'm human, but I'm an extremely fit, flexible and strong human.

Like every other member of the circus. Come watch us practice sometime, you can see for yourself.

[envy_the_sinners]

I'd rather not.

[Scar that is literally the opposite of what you're supposed to say.]

[a_sin_for_him]

I just thought it might reassure you some, as to the safety.

[envy_the_sinners]

I have seen a circus, Lust, I know what goes on.

[Scar you're making it sound like some unholy secret society please calm yourself.]

[a_sin_for_him]

No, I meant...Envy and I practicing ourselves. An up close look to assure yourself we're as physically capable as needed.

[envy_the_sinners]

[Scar clinches his teeth lightly, unable to come up with a solution he's willing to consider that doesn't make him sound like an absolute dick.]

You know that that is only asking for a problem.

[a_sin_for_him]

I'm honestly trying to prevent a problem.

Alright, no watching me practice. And I imagine coming to a show is out of the question.

[She doesn't even phrase it as a query, it's simply a statement.]

Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable with this?

[envy_the_sinners]

I'll come to a show, so long as I don't have to speak with him.

[And shit himself the whole time but...]

[a_sin_for_him]

We're in costumes, you'll only see him during the performance and you won't even notice it's him.

[Lust is trying not to show how delightedly surprised she is by Scar's concession to come to a show, but it's proving almost impossible.]

[envy_the_sinners]

[Scar doesn't bother to hide that he's rather perplexed at her apparent delight with the idea.]

That's fine.

[He still hates the idea of all of this but there isn't much he can really do about it.]

[a_sin_for_him]

Alright. I'm....glad you'll come.
