WHO: Dimitri Belikov and OPEN WHAT: Looking for a Sparring Partner WHEN: Tuesday morning WHERE: Anytime Fitness WARNINGS: TBD STATUS: Open/Ongoing
In his world, Dimitri was one of the best and most fierce fighters of his generation. Here in Madison Valley, though, it seemed that every other person who arrived was a fighter of some sort. It wasn't that it made Dimitri's own accomplishments less in any way, but it did mean that his skills weren't as unique or as needed. And it meant that he didn't always stand out when he went to the gym for a workout.
But the silver lining was that he could generally always find someone to spar with who was worth the time and effort. He enjoyed practicing with people who were at his level, people with whom there was no need to hold back. He had found that in Rose, perhaps with Castile, but with few others.
Here, though, he had only to wait, which was what he was doing this morning. He'd gone to Anytime Fitness early, gone through his weights and cardio routine, and now was doing stretches and waiting for someone to arrive who he could challenge to a test of skill. There was little else to do in this place, with all Moroi except Jill returned home, yet he refused to let his skills slip. There was no telling when he would return home, and his job was too important to return home unprepared.
