/pounce!
[Lacus is just headed in after a run, having borrowed some wrist-weights from the gym to improve her stamina. She feels odd training without Neil to coach her, but she figures he would want her to keep it up, so nothing would happen to her while he wasn't there to watch over her. And Kira would say the same.]
[She happens to spot Steve as he leans against his bag, her brow furrowing. Seeing anyone in pain upsets her, but Steve especially as he's shown her what a kind person he is, enough to show her compassion when she needed it despite them having barely met.]
[Approaching with slow steps, she speaks in a smooth, calming tone.] Good evening, Steve. Do you mind a short interruption? [Gentleman have a hard time saying no when asked like that.]
