Fight like no one's watching, dance like the world is ending, WHO: Bobby Drake and Elizabeth Bennet WHAT: Matchup/Sparring WHEN: Recently WHY?: Matchup and because sparring can be fun! WARNINGS: tbd STATUS: Closed and ongoing
Bobby had been a little down in the dumps lately. He had been losing sleep and unsure of how to address hwo he felt. With no real direction, and a feeling like he was treading water in town, he was unsure what to do with himself. Oh he kept it all undercover, all inside his deepest mindshield. One benefit of growing up around Jean Grey and Professor Xavier was getting really, really good at lying and concealing it. For sheer self-preservation, if nothing else.
Today, he had headed out to work out, maybe even work out some frustration in the Fight Science Gym. Luckily for him, he had run into Elizabeth Bennett, who was interested in sparring, and they had broken out the sparring blades. A little-known fact about Bobby was that he had spent a subjective two years in Asgard becoming one of the new Warriors Three when he and the X-Men had been trapped there. He had become very, very good with a sword while there, and today, against a very good opponent, he could let himself go a little, still in control, but also enjoying actually sparring with intent.
They'd been sparring for a little while, and he might be getting tired, but he was also enjoying himself. He was laughing for the joy of it, his smile one of shared enjoyment as he met Elizabeth's eyes, saluting her with his blade between exchanged before diving into a roll forward and coming out into a side-swipe with his black toward her right.
