"You're elected, Ben," Jack said to the bear sized man.
"Why me," Ben asked.
"Because she'll do the least amount of damage to you," Sam replied with a hundred watt smile.
"She'll need a sparring partner," Joe added helpfully.
"And," Ben intoned.
Joe continued, "she might be mad that we ditched her last night." They all looked over to the corner where Nym was stretching out.
"This sucks." The other three looked back a Ben and nodded their understanding at his simple sentiment.
While Joe taped up her hands and Jack and Sam warmed up Ben, Nym looked over the quartette and mentioned, "You all disappeared quite abruptly last night."
"Well, you're the one who invited the high ranking officer to the table," Jack responded.
"So... that means you have to ditch and run," Nym asked as Joe finished up and she gave each of his hands a test punch. She nodded her satisfaction and he stepped out of the way.
Jack and Sam went to join Joe as Nym joined ben in the ring. Sam answered, "No ... but it makes us feel more comfortable when we do."
"Thanks," she responded dripping with sarcasm and throw a right in Ben's direction.
Ben deflected the punch and without thinking asked, "didn't you want to be alone with him?"
She faked a stomp to Ben's instep by placing her foot between the bigger opponent's. With the distraction, she threw her weight behind a left cut and made contact with his jaw. Ben gave his head a shake and took a step to give himself some room to work. {Its not that I didn't want to be alone ... but didn't have to be alone with...duck!} Nym ducked agilely and came up practically underneath Ben giving herself the advantage. Putting the power of straighten her legs behind her next blow she scored a solid hit to Ben's ribs.
Nym stepped back watching for Ben's next move which was a glare at the other three men before letting his eyes fall back to watch his opponent. {I think I'm getting used to him showing up...} she thought as she put forth a series of moves. Ben worked on blocking first a left and a right punch and then blocked a kick almost seating Nym.
Nym moved through the work out almost as if it were a dance. Had she been by herself it might have looked like a ballet. If Nym's movements were as graceful; as a ballet then Ben's were more like the stomping movements of a ho' down. Nym wipe some perspiration from her head with the sleeve of her shirt; while Ben let it drip to the mat as he threw his next punch. Nym blocked thinking {he's nice, but still..} Her thoughts were cut short by the fine hairs at the back of her neck standing on end. {He's watching..} She turned to look around the room and Ben connected with a right to the left side of her face. The fact that she remained standing after a punch like that was almost amazing and she called and end to the match.
She smiled at the guys and went to get the towel from her gym bag and picked up the padd that was there too. As she cooled down from her sparring match, she flipped through the information, pause when a particular item caught her eye. She looked up to see Vlimar leaving the gym. She looked back down at the padd that was informing her that she need to give that particular Lieutenant Colonel an evaluation due to an accident where he was burned.
