WHO: Dimitri Belikov and OPEN WHAT: Working out, worrying about Jill WHEN: Tuesday morning WHERE: Anytime Fitness WARNINGS: TBD, likely low STATUS: Open/Ongoing
Ever since his talk with Molly Carpenter, Dimitri had been worrying about Jill. Granted, worrying was something that came incredibly easy to Guardians. It was sort of what their entire life was centered around - always worrying enough that they could predict horrible situations that others couldn't. And while Molly hadn't spoken of any sort of violence, she had not believed, even a little, that Jill might be harmless. Which put the young Moroi girl in danger, at least in Dimitri's over-protective opinion.
And he blamed himself for that.
Hoping to work off the worry and guilt (although knowing that the attempt was in vain), Dimitri had gone to Anytime Fitness not long after waking up. And three hours later, he was still there. Sweaty and sore with his hair falling out of the loose ponytail he'd had it tied in, he looked a mess, and not like the composed Guardian he usually did. Of course, that was simply the result of physical exertion, and not really anything to worry about.
He took a drink from his water bottle before returning to the weights. He'd nearly maxed out the machines, so he simply went to the free weights, hoping that simple repetition would work as well as anything else. So far, nothing had made him stop worrying about Jill, but that had been a long shot anyway.
