Clenching his fists, he slammed them down on the console, not really enough to hurt it but enough to cause pain. It helped clear his head a bit, and he angrily pushed off and away from the terminal.

He needed to do something, though, and he went back to his room to grab his makeshift poncho and started to head down to the gymnasium. That track, even in the cold, was sounding mighty lonely. It needed someone to run on it.

After a terrifying moment almost falling into Floor 46, he made it mostly unscathed and didn't bother to warm up. He dumped a bottle of water at the starting point, and set off, running around the track as if his life depended on going the fastest he could.

If anyone looked, they might notice that occasionally, he performed different moves. A few jumps into the air, some tumbles ending a slamming kick into the ground. Once or twice, he did a few roundhouse kicks without breaking stride. So much energy bound up in these moves, it was hard not sense the emotions coming off of him.

It wasn't just Sephiroth, it was everything that had happened over the last few months, but most of all it was something that should have been a happy thing, something positive in the hell tower wasn't anymore. All of the physical effort wasn't helping, and he was having second thoughts about asking in the first place.

It was just going to make them more miserable. He had been stupid to think that they could make this a home, or get a tiny bit of... something that wasn't terror, agony, or heartbreak.

The gymnasium was an interesting place to Catarina. Controlled space to exercise and tumble? Certainly nice, and something to use in a place such as this. And the one she saw, the aggression shown being worked out- she smiled, the idea of how the aggression could be used in other ways slipping through her head. She had fed recently, well, but that didn't mean she didn't enjoy working out anger in multiple ways.

So she came near him, making sure to be in his line of sight before inclining her head, offering her fists as a target.

"Been busy," she purred. "Meeting new people, getting to know old. You look tense... like you need some aggression to work off."

She couldn't help the sexual purr, but she did indicate that there were options.

She laughed, deep and rich. "As can I. It does take much to injure me past something I cannot heal easily." Unless he had a holy weapon, but he didn't seem the type. "I'm interested in you. Unless you wish to let it out in a more enjoyable manner...?" She knew the answer. She just couldn't help herself.

"You interest me. You're... attractive in some right. Different. And why wouldn't I, hm?" She moved closer, hips swaying.

Don't blame him

"I wasn't insulting you. I do find you interesting and attractive for a human."

"But that isn't what you need right now, is it." Her voice was calm, words simple.

"Ah." Her voice slipped out in a moan, her eyes lidding in excitement. "Where did you get such powers...?"

Lancer usually didn't like the gymnasium as a training spot. He preferred more practical forms of keeping up his skills, like fighting monsters and such. However, he managed to make it into this floor while heading toward the storage room.

He catches sight of the other man in the room. Working off emotions through physical exertion is something he can understand. But for things like anger and grief...running wouldn't completely cut it.

"Hey."

He calls out to the man. That guy needs a good fight and Lancer is bored. He might as well as offer to be the guy's sparring partner.

"You look like you could use something more challenging."

It was a little while later before the terminal had finally become too cold to stay at, and Xion had left, heading down to Floor 38 in the hopes that moving around would help her warm up some. It was there that she spotted Reno, watched him for a good long while as he worked out his obvious frustrations.

Xion frowned, a little upset at herself that she hadn't realized how badly what happened earlier could go. Had it been her spilling the news? Or all the awkward questions? Or... what that one guy had said. The one she'd gotten so angry at? The latter seemed the most likely...

Calling out to him seemed like a bad idea, and she waffled for a bit at the idea of starting to practice herself, but in the end she just sat down at the edge of the track, breathing on her fingers to warm them.

And it was there she waited, wondering if there was anything she could do to help fix things.

Xion met his eyes briefly, then looked away, biting her lip.

"I thought I'd come down here to warm up some," she mumbled, fully aware that she wasn't doing much to combat that particular problem at all.

Still, that left... "Are... you okay?"

It's a standard question. She isn't sure how else to address how unhappy he looked.

Oh no you don't. Catarina followed, fascinated. "Where? Those are not human powers... How?"

Lancer doesn't even snicker at the sight of the other man falling. He only smiles when the other man gets back up.

"I'd say you're not getting the right type of workout. Wanna spar?"

He looks and sounds as casual as he always is, with his arms placed on his waist and a cocky smile on his face.

"You have powers I've not seen on humans, even those where half the parentage is not. Are you truly human?" She was excited- and wary. If he wasn't human... that could easily mean she could be hurt, given her own heritage.
