Private Going through the motions

Despite what many might assume knowing her personality, Evie did, in fact, put some effort into staying fit. Nowhere near as much as she had while part of the circus, of course, but enough to keep her figure at the very least.

It had been on and off lately, though. Forcing herself to actually work out had been something of a struggle, but she'd woken up unexpectedly early that morning and couldn't get back to sleep. She'd long since ran out of pranks she found entertaining, and it was far too early for any of her other usual methods of entertainment. Given the alternative option of staying her room, left alone with her thoughts, she figured she might as well get some exercise in.

A few other people on campus were up and about as she found herself a nice spot under one of the trees on the grounds, clad in workout gear as she stretched her leg up in an impressive display of flexibility. Her lethargy and general expression made it obvious she wasn't really into it, however, more going through the motions than anything else.

She blinked, realising in surprise someone was addressing her, before glancing over. Quickly, her expression was replaced with her usual shithead smirk, and she stopped her stretching to face her fully, mask of her own up.

"Well well well, s'been awhile Wesley Snipes" She giggled, resting her back against the tree. "You look like you're keeping busy."

"Well don't let me stop your workout." Evie giggled along with her, blatantly oggling her arms for a moment before winking at her.

"Why do people keep saying that?" She went on with a small pout. "You think I got all this just naturally? Nice abs weren't part of the superpower package I got y'know."

Stepping away from the tree, she flashed a challenging smirk at her while sidestepping the question.

"How 'bout I prove it? Betcha I can run to the fountain and back faster than you, no flight necessary."

Having just started her little impromptu workout she figured she at least had a stamina advantage, even if Laurie was blatantly in better shape.

She managed to cut off Evie's next response by suddenly darting away. A smirk spread on her face.

"Ha! Don't think that's gonna help!"

If Evie's at all bothered by the sudden start she gave no indication (she'd totally have done that first if given the opportunity anyway). She laughed as she started to sprint right on after her.

Evie was quick, and she was nimble, powers or no powers. However, she hadn't exactly been keeping up with her full fitness routine, at least not in the way someone in scout training would. Laurie likely wouldn't have any trouble beating her in a race even given the current circumstances.

So clearly the best course of action was to cheat.

Evie's entire body tilted back as she adjusted her gravity, putting her at an angle towards the ground. She proceeded to slide forward, rapidly picking up speed.

"I did say no flying!" She called out with a cackle, realigning herself and resuming her sprint once the distance had been closed.

Evie came to a stop in front of her, laughing as she raised her hands above her head.

“And the champion reigns supreeeeeeeeeme!” She called out, before cupping her mouth with her hands and letting off a long “Wooooo!”

Of course, this didn’t really prove her original point at all, but she was too busy acting smug to really give that much thought. She grinned back at her, though once again her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.

She leaned back against the tree again to rest for the moment, breathing a little harder, though still not that tired compared to Laurie.

“Heheh, Betcha didn’t see that one coming, huh Helsing.”
