The current game time is: Thu Jan 19 06:08:03 107 PA.

The Sparring Ring of Harry's Gym is even more spartan than the rest of the facility. It is geared towards non and lightly augmented individuals as Harry's is by and large a family facility. Nonetheless, the walls here are chemically treated and renforced and many cameras keep a watchful eye on the goings on. The actual 'ring' is a boxing ring, complete with ropes and nearby is a large open area with mats to practice martial arts and other hand to hand techniques. Of real note is that there are two armed guards here at all times -- and the place seems to ALWAYS be in use -- and a nurse's office is located nearby in the case of injuries. Apparently, Harry takes the safety of the public quite seriously.

Well, the sparring ring is in use again today. Though this time it is someone who is not usually one to hang around in there. Vadania has stripped down to just her leggings and a wife-beater tee that she probably borrowed from someone. An almost feral grin on her lips as she faces off against a guy probably twice her size. Her hands upraised as if waiting for him to link fingers with her.

Erica walks into the sparring ring after warming up in the rest of the gym. She is in a spare pair of her fatigues and has already loosened up so she can get some practice in. Walking in she raises an eyebrow as she notices Vadania already in the ring. Giving the other woman a quick nod that Vadania doesn't notice she moves over to a punching bag and starts throwing some quick jabs and knees into the bag while watching the match with half an eye.

Vadania waggles her brows at the gent as she waits. Finally he just grumbles about idiot women and links his fingers with hers. A soft tsking sounds as she almost seems to flow in against him. One leg hooking behind his knees as she gives a bit of a shove with her hands against his own.

Erica throws a quick elbow into the bag and follows it up with a rising knee making a loud smacking noise and sending the bag swaying a bit. She pauses her bag work for a moment to take notice of the match starting. Gnawing on her lower lip for a moment she takes notice of Vadania's swift movements against the larger man. Nodding her head approvingly she watches as Vadania shoves him off balance seemingly easily.

Vadania isn't quite strong enough to bowl him over, but she does put him off balance enough to start twisting his arm around towards a hammer lock. He on hte other hand doesn't seem to be as familiar with this form of combat. It's not bear hugs and head-buts after all.

Erica catches the bag as it swings back at her. She keeps gnawing on her lower lip as she takes more interest in the fight before her. Taking note of the wrestling moves that Vadania is using she walks away from the bag and walks closer to the ring. She nods her head to herself as she trys to see how that hammer lock was performed. Crossing her arms in front of her chest she leans against the ring to enjoy watching Vadania man handle the much bigger brute.

Vadania laughs lightly as she glances up at the gent as he starts to try to power the hammerlock back open as she's not quite closed it. "What's the matter, Mike. Little girl is beating you?" she almost purrs to him. Then bends her knees and slips her leg between his to hook his far ankle and sweeps.

Erica starts giggling softly herself at Vadania's laugh. She shakes her head ever so slightly noticing the bind that the big man is in. Uncrossing her arms she places both hands on the mat and watchs, waiting for the man named Mike to hit the mat with that sweep.

Vadania manages to sweep out Mike's legs this time, dumping him onto his back. One hand ripping free of the grips to go to her belt as she rides him down. Then plunge down to his throat as if she had a knife in it. "And you're dead, Mike." She shifts from where she's straddling his waist and lower ribs. Even as he starts to protest she shakes her head, "No, I don't fight fair. Most fights for us are not for fun."

Erica's lips curl into a warm smile as she watches Vadania take down Mike so easily. She keeps nodding to her head in approval as the other woman finishes up the spar quickly. Her nod turns into a head shake as the man protests and her smile turns into a smirk. Giggling softly she shoves herself away from the mat and walks back to the punching bag.

Vadania chuckles softly as she slips out of the ring waving after herself. "I think Mike's free now." she offers to the room in general. Her near goldne eyes scanning the room until they hit upon Erica.

Erica steps up to the punching bag again and throws a quick series of jabs as she dances around the bag. After making a quick circle around the bag she throws a knee hard into the bag. Noticing Vadania approach where she is working the bag she catches it so it stops swaying and offers Vadania a warm smile. "Hi there. Saw your spar. That was pretty good."

Vadania quirks a brow upwards and inclines her head. "It was alright. He underestimated me because of the size difference. That's all." She blushes a bit, "I'm hardly skilled in the fist to fist. Usually the braves protect us."

Erica laughs softly and and the smile she is showing Vadania grows. "Yah I know how that is. I get underestimated a lot because of my size." She reaches out and gives Vadania a quick affectionate pat on the shoulder. "Well you know a few moves that I don't know. I was more trained in hand to hand then wrestling." She says before turning back to the bag. She ponders the punching bag for a moment before letting it go.

Vadania shifts over to brace the bag and quirks a brow up. "Most of my training was with how to place an arrow properly and carve up someone trying to get too close."

Erica nods her head to Vadania as the other woman braces the bag. She throws a couple jabs at the punching bag followed by a hook in a quick combo. "I had lots of training. I can shoot most things at I am a damm good shot at a distance. I was in some sniper classes back when I was in defense class." She says before throwing two jabs followed by an elbow into the bag. "I'm not bad with a knife myself either. Maybe some time you can show me how to work a tomahawk, or some of those wrestling moves."

Vadania's lips quirk slightly. "I'd have to find one first. Hand axe works just as well and is easier to find out this way." She deftly keeps the bag from dancing away from your strikes.

Erica takes a moment to breath and looks at Vadania from around the bag. "Hmm yah I guess they would work just as well." She nods her head to herself before turning back to the bag and throwing a jab, knee combo. "I bet your a pretty handy at throwing one of those axes too."

Vadania's soft chuckles answers back to that. "I wouldn't say that. Usually don't get to those unless I'm out of other options."

Erica hits the bag hard with a series of three jabs followed up by a powerful side kick that smacks the bag loudly. "Well I'm just saying knife throwing and axe throwing might be handy way to make some credits. How is that camp site working out by the way? Have you been keeping warm enough in this weather?"

Vadania hmms softly, "The camp is working out well. Had some company out there the other night. Was actually fun to have overnight company." She leaves it at that as she cants her head.

Erica pauses for a moment to catch her breath and offer Vadania a smile of thanks. She takes a step away from the bag to stop. "Oh that is nice. Company is always fun. I'm glad your campsite is working out well then. I'll have to come by and bring a treat for LightFeather."

Vadania chuckles softly, "You keep feeding her treats and she'll be too fat to ride. But she might enjoy a nice combing."

Erica laughs herself as she stretches a little bit to finish up her workout. "Well I think I can handle a comb at the least. And I wouldn't want you to have to waddle your horse into combat." She says with another quick giggle before bending down to touch the toes.

Vadania glances to the gents enjoying the view of you bent over like than and just quirks a brow up as she wets her lips sugestivly. Though she can't help but chuckle softly afterwards. "A waddling paint would be horrifying to see."

Erica straightens and sees Vadania's look and she raises an eyebrow questioningly, but quickly shrugs it away. "Well anytime you want me to come by I'll be happy to give LightFeather a good combing. That and it will be nice to see your place."

Vadania waggles her brows at you. "The guys were looking rather wolfish with you bent like that. I think Mike almost needed new shorts." She offers an arm as she turns towards the door. "Got my workout. How about you?"

Erica blushes brightly turning her pale skin a shade of pink. Biting down on her lower lip she looks away and moves to the other side of Vadania. Taking the other woman's arm she nods her head. "Yah I guess so. Please let us go."

Vadania shoots the guys a last glance as she slips towards the door. "I need to go change anyway. Then I need to give back this shirt. They told me I couldn't work out in my leathers. Really I think they just wanted to see if they could see anything better with the thinner matieral.

Erica keeps looking forward trying to hide her embaressment. "Jeez doesn't wearing leather a lot chaff? I don't know if I could do it." She seems to calm down from her embaressment rather quickly as she moves with Vadania to the locker room to get their stuff.

Vadania shakes her head slightly, "Not usually. One it fits to you it is pretty easy. Also it often depends on how it is treated. If it gets wet and left to dry it can chafe, yes. But if done right it is butter soft."

Erica listens to Vadania before nodding her head and shrugging her shoulders. "Fair enough. I guess I never really had any leather clothing. Mostly just cotton or synthetic fibers." She walks over to the locker and opens it taking out her utility belt and holsters she fastens both around her waist.

Vadania hmms softly as she moves to another locker and pulls it open to pull out her leathers. She sheds the shirt and starts shrugging into her tunic without a thought. Leather whispering against skin as she tugs it down into place. Then the outer shell is eased into place.

Erica busies herself inside her locker and doesn't really look around until she has finished fixing herself up with her belts and holsters. Finishing that she shuts her locker and turns to smile at Vadania just as the other woman finishes dressing. "Well where to now?"
