Who: Kurt and OTA
When: Tuesday late afternoon
Where: The gym and then ?
What: Finishing up a training session

After his regular power training session Kurt stuck around in the gym to practice some acrobatics. He didn't want to lose any of the skills he had learned years ago in the circus so he tried to make time to practice once a week or so. Not to mention it was a great workout. He'd been practicing some flips on one of the blue mats in the gym for about half an hour when he decided to finish up for the night.

He plopped down on the mat and stretched himself out a little bit to cool down. Thanks to his mutation and his rather unique physiology, Kurt was ridiculously limber and had amazing balance. So he was in an odd pretzel-like position when he heard someone else enter the gym and had to carefully unfold himself to see who it was.

	Piotr had been on his way to do some weight lifting when he saw Kurt in an odd position on the floor. Walking toward him he raised up a hand and waved in greeting. "Hello Kurt. Enjoying a work out?" He asked? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Kurt rolled over so that he was sitting cross-legged on the mat and craned his head to grin at the much taller boy. "Ah, guten Abend!" he greeted Piotr, returning the wave as he hopped up to his feet. "Ja, I am about finished I think. You?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just starting." He explained, adjusting his gym bag on his shoulder. " I have been meaning to ask. Would you be willing to show me the basics of tumbleing as you do some time? There is only so much weight lifting one can do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course," Kurt said enthusiastically. Though it was a little funny to picture someone of Piotr's size and build tumbling. But he was happy to teach him. "I can show you a few things now if you like," he suggested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Da, please. If you have time of course." Piotr didn't want to keep Kurt from anything if he was finishing up his workout. " What is the first step." He asked, somewhat eager to begin, it seemed an interesting thing to learn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I can show you a few things before I head up for the night," Kurt said. He was a performer after all, he couldn't turn down an opportunity to show off and help someone at the same time. "Can you do a..." he struggled with remembering the English term for a minute. "A cartwheel?" he said, recalling the word that Tandy had taught him. He demonstrated a simple cartwheel for Piotr.

"I have never tried. Let me see." He said as he streched a little and quirked his eyebrow a little at Kurts cartwheel. They certainly weren't starting that slow were they? He thought to himself. Then he attempted a cartwheel, He managed to get his hands on the ground and his feet in the air but the end result was more of an awkward hop than what he had been shown. He stumbled a bit to his feet and let out a small good natured chuckle. "More practice it is then, yes?"
