Day 209 ✝ Action
✝ Action with Spencer Reid
Derek smiled brightly when he saw Reid walk into the athletic complex almost right on time to when they’d agreed to meet. He’d almost expected him to find an excuse not to show since this wasn’t really Reid’s thing, so he was really more than happy that he did. He’d wanted some time with his friend to see how he was really doing and this was as good excuse as any without being overly obvious that he was checking up on him. Reid could really just be happy that Derek wasn’t busting down his door again and pushing his way in. Improvement? Yes. Never let it be said that Derek couldn’t grow and change… kind of.

He stood up from the chair he’d been sitting in and picked up his bag. He’d already claimed a room to work in, like he usually did. One hand clapped down on Reid’s shoulder and squeezed. “Hey pretty boy. Almost thought you might not show.”

✝ Action with Rogue
For weeks now Derek and Rogue had been working privately with each other. It was actually working with her that had made him think about giving more lessons in self-defense… maybe even starting a class. But it was still just an idea he was toying with more than one he was actually putting into motion. Not that he would turn down anyone who wanted to learn or spar. He just wasn’t advertising it yet.

He was in his normal room that he occupied with a nice mat on a part of the floor. When Rogue came in, he smiled in her direction. “Hey, pretty girl. Doin’ alright? You get caught up in that mess yesterday?”

✝ Open Action for anyone and everyone
For the better part of the morning Derek will be at the Athletic Complex in Sector one. He’ll probably break for lunch and then head into the Defense Force Headquarters in Sector Two for a bit to do some work. Anyone is free to run into him in either place or in the in-between.

	[He can understand wanting to stay alert and prepared. He thinks along those same lines. But when he sees Laura, he smiles, not only because she's a familiar face, but also because she said good morning to him. It felt to him like that meant he hadn't made too horrible an impression the last time they had spoken.] Hey, Laura. How you doin' today? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am fine. [He did leave a positive impression. People do not normally come up to greet her that way and he treated her like an equal member of the team.] You are training. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. [He rests a hand against the punching bag to still it from swaying where he had been landing hit after hit on it.] Keeps me level-headed if you know what I mean. [Which he thought Laura might be able to understand.] What kind of training do you do here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Laura does understand. Training helps her to clear her own mind.] Whatever training this places provides. It is not...as equipped as I am used to. The lack of a challenge is unavoidable at times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know what you're level of training is but from the sounds of it you're pretty experienced. [At least that's what he gets from her comment about this place being not as equipped as she's used to. It implies that his offering to train her would be an insult to her skills. And he can respect that.] You ever want someone to spar with, I'm game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She takes the offer for what it is, although she is more thoughtful about whether or not she will do him harm by training with him than any potential insult. She has met humans who are more than capable of keeping up with her.] Right now? I have time. We can set limits if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent)
