TRAINING GROUNDS - MORNING
----------------------------------------------
Emmeline is jogging around the perimeter of the otherwise empty training grounds, dressed in a light, breathable shift which is a bit damp with sweat. She has a determined look on her face as she runs, her hooves hitting the dirt rhythmically as her powerful body carries her along.
Mia doesn't really do much training, but sometimes she comes over here at the times it's more empty so she can do testing, that is set aside when she sees Emmeline "Hey!" Mia waves over "How are you doing?"
Emmeline slows down when she approaches Mia, not seeming to be overly tired from her exercise. "Oh, good morning Mia. Didn't expect to see you out here. I'm well, just... well... exercising."
Mia: "Ah! Well, don't let me slow you down. I was coming down here to test a new doodah, but it can wait. No real hurry to it anyway" She stretches out, and does a little nimble set of kitty leaps down to the bottom "How are you doing these days anyway?"
Emmeline walks over to the nearby pump and pumps out some water into the metal cup hanging from the post. She drinks deeply before answering. "Oh, I'm fine. Just realized I was falling into old habits and decided I didn't want to get all pudgy again... so here I am. Nothing much to report work-wise. Doing more decoration work, and Jennica has seem pretty inspired lately, but not much new there. You?"
Mia: "Oh, same old same old. Just keeping up with the business" She chuckles "I suppose I'm lucky I don't have to worry about working out or anything. Everything just sort of stays ticking along" She stretches her not quite organic self "Besides~ Nothing wrong with a bit of pudge. It can be cute"
Vix wanders onto the training grounds just in time to hear the last exchange. "Oh, but what if you want a nicer butt?"
Emmeline waves to Vix. "Morning. But yes, still worth working out a bit. If you just let yourself get fat, you get the lumpy fat. Cellulite I think the doctor called it? Anyway, yeah. Nothing wrong with some pudge, but I don't want to be as round as I was before..." She hesitates, but decides to just end the sentence there. "Before."
Mia: "Hey, you do you" She waves to Vix too "I can't really comment to much, since as I said, out of that whole game" She chuckles "Vix probably wouldn't mind watching you train though~"
Vix grins and stands on one leg to hold her ankle behind her back. "I mean, I could race ya~"
Emmeline looks at Vix and laughs. "You'd win. I'm not built for speed."
Vix hops lightly a couple times and rolls her shoulders. "Ahh, maybe I'll just jog along then?"
Emmeline laughs. "Sure. Company would be nice." She stretches a bit, then looks to Mia. "You coming along?"
Mia: "Sure! Sounds like fun" She stretches out, and starts up, moving with Emmeline when she does
Vix sets off at a light pace on the other side of Emmeline. "Woo~"
Emmeline starts jogging, keeping pace with Vix fairly easily. "Do you run often?"
Vix: Oh, every day! Sometimes across the rooftops~"
Mia: "I don't really run much, too busy working" She is keeping up too though!
Emmeline is happy to have company for this usually solitary activity. "Ah... I'd probably put a hole in the roofs..."
Vix: The roofs are surprisingly sturdy, actually~
Emmeline: "Ok, but the climbing and jumping... not my strength."
Vix twirls and runs backwards for a moment. "How about endurance?"
Mia: "I feel like I'm cheating a bit on that front..."
Emmeline grins. "That's more my style, yeah."
Vix pats her thigh. "Heh, these babies can take me around town all day and night~"
Mia: "That's pretty good for both of you!"
Emmeline gets a distant look on her face before upping her pace and going ahead of the others for the moment.ยจ
Vix eeps and speeds up to match Emmeline's pace. "Starting to get into it?"
Emmeline: "Sorry... just... let's talk about about something else..."
Mia: "Um...Okay? What you working on right now?"
Emmeline seems much happier as she starts to talk shop, discussing decorating plans for one of the larger houses in town.
Mia: "Pretty good project to get alright" Mia at some point stopped bothering to 'walk' and is just sliding along on some wheels on the underside of her feet "How much longer is it going on for?"
Emmeline: "Oh, should be done my part next week..."
Mia: "Not so bad. Bring the fresh ideas back to your own store"
Emmeline: "Mmhm..." The trio keep chatting as they jog until Emmeline finally begins to tire. They part ways and agree to meet again soon, though.
