Who: Lirije and Simon What: A meeting in which Lirije does not get hurt. Or tooo scared. Where: Wandering around When: Wednesday afternoon
Lirije was always physically active, always exerting herself. Form a young age she had found that getting rid of excess energy was an effective way of keeping her inner panther from getting to antsy. That part of her loved a good run, or a long day's ballet rehearsal, or even a pilates or yoga class. It just kept everything more balanced and at peace. She'd spent too long in her room, so a few miles were definitely called for.
When she had finished, she had barely broken a sweat. Her heart was pounding a bit though as she began to cool down and then stretch out. As if it was nothing at all, she leaned down to touch her toes but went much farther than that. Her palms were flat on the grass and her elbows were bent a little, far from fully extended. Her nose was between her shins, brushing the skin, and her ponytail was flipped over her head, brushing against the ground.
Unaware of anyone else around, she sat down and slid easily into a sideways split position before leaning to grab first one foot and then the other. Years of ballet had made her body extremely pliant, and it was hardly a stretch at all.
