Alex's hair was shorter now, since she'd cut it not long before she'd come here. It was still long enough to pull back into a ponytail, though, and that was what she had done. It would keep it off her neck while they sparred, and it was probably going to keep her cooler as well. She figured they would have some fun with this, but she would probably hold back to keep from hurting him too much. He might have some moves, but she was taught by Nikita.
Alex was young, and spry. Eliot probably wouldn't expect her to be as good as she claimed. But he had to know she was disciplined enough, since he knew all about her jogging routine and all. It didn't really matter who came out the victor, this was just for fun and to stay fit, as well as continue training. Sean had once asked her if that was all they did when they weren't on a mission. She pushed thoughts of him out of her head, she couldn't deal with that right now.
She nodded back, sizing him up a bit. He was pretty built, but that didn't always matter. Sometimes it was just about skill, and sometimes even luck came in to play. She smiled at him. Though Alex didn't really know him, he seemed to be a decent guy and this was going to be a very interesting afternoon.
"You ready for this?" She asked, as she approached him. Some of the other people there were giving her a strange look, but Alex was used to people underestimating her, based on her size and overall non-threatening appearance.
