Kyle snuck in behind Lofton and leaned against the wall with that same child like grin as he watched the Counselor and one of his strongest cadets work their way through the makeshift gym space.-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-
Henry paused in his leg presses. “Well, I’m still getting used to the routine, but so far it’s been good. It’s great to finally be where I’ve been working towards, and Lieutenant Anders has been more than welcoming.” As simple a routine as it had been, it was Rodier’s dream. In fact, he had a call with his parents later that night to tell them just that.
Hesitating before continuing, the Cadet wondered if Lofton was doing her job as the Counselor, or simply trying to make small talk. “What about you, Counselor? Surely you can’t have been aboard long and kept up judo work like that” he said with a smile.

Vanessa laughed and wiped the sweat from her face with her towel, then slung it over her neck, pulling it down and taut. “I’ve tried to keep it up since I left the Academy,” she responded. “I’m nowhere near competition level anymore, but it keeps me in better shape than I’d be otherwise.”
She released the towel, leaving it hanging limply about her neck, and released her ponytail, now messy from the workout. She pulled her hair back and began wrapping the elastic around her hair again.
“What’s your normal workout routine?” she asked as she fumbled with her hair.

“Ah, depends on the day. In the Academy they taught me to vary it up. Today’s a three mile jog and some jumping jacks, pretty standard, plus these presses. Other days its weights, a longer run, or combat practice like you.” Rodier reached down, adjusting the machine to a higher weight. “The only thing I really try to specialize in is defensive fighting -” he looked up at Vanessa “- quite the opposite of you, it seems. You used to compete?”

“Now this I have to hear about,” Kyle said stepping into the room proper and making his presence known.
-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-
The counselor turned at the sound of Anders’s voice, then laughed and shrugged. “I’ve been practicing judo since I was a kid,” she answered. “I was on the Academy women’s judo team. It was my extracurricular - some people joined the flight team, some volunteered with the diplomatic corps, I would get sweaty and wrestle,” she grinned. “Never won anything big, but I could hold my own.”
She started folding her towel and knelt beside her bag. “As a woman, it helps give me a defensive edge in certain situations,” she continued, tone much more neutral. “Which is one reason I keep it up.” She stood and drank some more from her water bottle, then looked to Anders.
“What’s your workout today look like?”
Lt. Cmdr. Vanessa Lofton
Kyle grinned, “That’s the fun part. I come to you with a challenge.” He turned to Rodier, “I was going to suggest this as a method of training for you Cadet, but why not get other departments involved. Anyone fancy a run of the deck?” Anders winked playfully.

Henry stopped in the process of getting back on the leg press. “I’m a bit tired out, sir, but I could stand a quick run” he said. With an almost imperceptible smile to himself, the Cadet then walked over to Anders, reaching his hand out. “But sir, if you don’t mind, I would like to check something first.”

Kyle arched an eyebrow, a childlike grin crossing his face, “What do you have in mind?”
-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-
Vanessa wiped her face again, eyeing the chrono on the wall. “I’m afraid I’m too wiped to do much more running, Mr. Anders,” she replied. “Should have shown up sooner,” she added with a grin.

“Well, if you’re scared you’re gonna lose Commander,” Anders replied with a wink.
-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-
Rodier reached out and poked the Lieutenant’s arm lightly, feeling the fabric of his shirt. “That was all, sir. Just wanted to make sure you’re actually here this time.” He stepped back with a satisfied smile, and continued with a glance at Lofton. “If the Commander won’t be joining…” he trailed off and took a step toward the door.
