Characters: Alfred F. Jones and YOU
Setting: Gymnasium
Format: I'll follow you
Summary: Just trying to keep warm.
Warnings: None right now.


[Alfred had gotten in the habit of a morning jog since school had ended, and he figured he might as well keep it up in the Tower as well. You never knew in a place like this when you needed to be in good shape. Plus, it was a good way to keep warm when there was no heat in the building.

Today especially he was feeling quite warm before he even finished a lap around the track. Too warm. He tried to keep going, but his legs were starting to feel like lead weights, and his head ached. Three-quarters of the way around the oval, Alfred gave up, wobbling over to lean on a piece of exercise equipment to catch his breath. Phew. This was obviously consequence of trying to exist on nutribars alone.]

[Sephiroth spent some time most days in the gym anyway. His sessions had gotten longer and he pushed himself harder every single day so far since last week. Not only that it pushed the uncomfortable chillness this month out of his mind. As long as one made sure that your sweat didn't cool on your skin too much; a use finally for the remains of the jumpsuit he'd arrived in. It wasn't going to be used for anything else after all.

People didn't tend to disturb you either, while you were concentrating on bench pressing unmarked weights. Especially since the actual weight of them seemed to never stay the same day to day; it did mean one had to look around sometimes to try and find the weights you wanted to train with.

He was just lifting the bar carefully onto the stable part of the equipment in order to sit up and recover from the last set. When he caught a glimpse of the kid - no this guy was slightly older than the average kid age he'd encountered around the Tower. Not a very healthy kid, either. He'd probably overdone it. This room could do that to you.

Sephiroth stretched his shoulders out and wiped a fresh line of sweat from his brow. That didn't look like a particularly stable piece of equipment either, if that weight shaking at the top was anything to go by.

He should just let it alone. Kids learn from mistakes after all. But then what would be worse; he'd have to deal with a screaming teenager if he broke something - or worse if that ended up falling on his-]

Might not want to lean on that.

[America had learned fairly quickly which floors were more safe to play on and which he should probably stay off of, if only to keep England from making weird faces and being worried. This floor was one of the bigger ones, and unless you messed up with the machines it was pretty safe, so he was rolling his hoop around and watching everyone else.

He rolls his hoop in Alfred's general direction once he sees him wobbling.]

Hey, are you okay?

[ The gym happens to be one of the new places Sayaka happens to visit today, after being warned that the equipment there is not the safest- and she's not surprised of that fact, really. It's not that she wants to use this room, but if there's a need to keep constantly warm against this unbearable cold, she can't afford being picky.

Wearing a simple white shirt, shorts and keeping her hair tied up, she steps in the floor just as Alfred stumbles by. She gives the stranger a concerned look, then approaches. ]

Are you alright?

[Wriggle was on her way to the floor just underneath, hoping that her insect companions would help keep her warm when she noticed the figure hunched over. There was something quite... familiar about him she couldn't put her finger on it. That cowlick...]

Hey, do I know you?
