work out

[Payne Bloodletter]

She had made it home last night before the shutters had slid home for the day but for some reason she was still restless. She needed something to occupy her time. Manny was out with Glory so she was on her own. With a a small shrug of her shoulders she enters the training facility.

First up. Sword play.

[Vishous Bloodletter]

Second rotation of the week, he strolled through the tunnels. Jane had asked to see him before he took off, so he'd stopped by her office. There she was, glasses on the tip of her perfect nose. After a small pause in her door, strolled over behind her. She was so deep in, she'd only glanced up. Put his hand on her shoulder, then leaned down to kiss her cheek.

"Hey babe. You working too hard again?" It'd been way too long since he had seen her, this close made that apparent.

Mentally telling himself to calm down, last thing he needed was a rocket hindering his steps while out looking for slayers.

[Jane Bloodletter]

Rubbed the bridge of her nose before sliding her glasses all the way off and setting them on the desk. Lifted her hand up on top of his and smiled.

"Always it seems. I need a break but work relaxes me when your out."

Strange how she got still got so tense when he was up for patrol, even after all this time.

[Vishous Bloodletter]

Massaged her shoulder before resting his chin on her head. Times like this he hated being so well connected to her.

"Shh, don't be tense. Nothing's gone down in a while, least nothing that can't be handled. Come on Jane, when's the last time you had to play good Doctor with me? All good, true." Slid his hand along her arm, then interlaced both their fingers. "Think I saw Payne in the gym on my way over. Walk with me."

Moved to her side after kissing her lips once. Then straightened. Really couldn't wait to get out, but hated having to leave.

[Jane Bloodletter]

Leaned her head back then visibly relaxed against his hold on her through fingers and lips. Let a low breath out.

"How did I miss her?" silly question but asked none the less. She would miss a freight train plowing through when concentrating on work. "Would love too, I rarely see her with how Manny tries to keep her busy all the time" laughed as she stood "As if right."

Gripped his hand tighter in hers as they walked out of the office and headed to the gym.

[Payne Bloodletter]

She sat in the middle of the room drinking a bottle of water. Her work out thus far had relaxed her some. But she needed more. Her head turned slightly. Then she turned into a stand as her brother and shellan walked in. "Good Eve brother and sistermine."

[Vishous Bloodletter]

Raised a brow at the assortment of weapons his twin had clearly been using. Oookkk, someone was leaning on the aggressive side. Released Jane's hand after bringing the back up to his lips. Walked over to Payne then stood in front of her.

"Getting a good one in Payne?" Now he smiled while he smothed a stray hair from her face. "Anyway you've been scarce, everything's good, true. I'm about to go out, but if you want we can spar when I get back."

Skidded by mention of Manny, what he didn't know wouldn't hurt. Matter of fact, the less he knew the better.

[Jane Bloodletter]

Smiling as she saw Payne, then held back a round of laughter as V skirted around the whole Manny thing.

"Hello Payne, getting some training in are you? Looking good."

Walked across the mats and started to trail in and out of all the swords she had laying about.

[Payne Bloodletter]

She smiled at her brother. "Promise we can?" She looked over at Jane. "Thank you. Restless and needed to pass the day away." She glanced at her brother. He was going out. Her smile widen a fraction. Perfect.

[Vishous Bloodletter]

"Ok, well lets plan on it then." Shifted his gaze to Jane, then went to kiss her cheek. "See, nothing to worry about. Plans and everything. Alright ladies, Butch is going to get antsy then creative. Since someone.." Glanced back at Payne, ".. has given him new music tastes. Can't have that. Back in a few."

Cupped the back of Jane's head before giving her one more kiss. Patted Payne's shoulder with a wink then strode across the gym floor to the back exit. Once in the garage, had to deal with switching the music anyway. Butch had been playing with the stereo and no way was he listening to that crap Manny had brought around.

They were off in no time, speeding twards downtown and the location given them.

[Jane Bloodletter]

Smiled, somewhat forcibly, that was until he kissed her again. "Be safe baby" she called out as he crossed the room quickly. Damn it, she already couldn't wait til he got home so they could spend the rest of the night alone and relaxed. Turned back towards Payne.

"I understand that. V tells me all the time that I need to relax more but I've long thought its just not in my genetic makeup to do so." she laughed.

"So whats your plans for the rest of the night?"

[Payne Bloodletter]

After V walked out she smiled at Jane and nodded. "You do need to relax more." Shrugged then, "To follow you hellran" Her smile widens a little. "Later." She then was following after her brother. Yeah Patrol sounded like the perfect way to get what she wanted.

[Vishous Bloodletter]

Parked the Escalade in a bad part of town, then again these days? That was as good as it got. After they got out, decided to split up. No sense in the two of them wandering alleys at once, unless they wanted a stinky stroll and banter. The second they did just fine back at the Pit. Listened to Butch's shitkickers until he couldn't hear them anymore.

Walking down an alley, decided to light a smoke. Stopped, eyes scanning and senses on alert but didn't smell anything but old beer and alley piss.

"Damn." To himself, kicking it back into gear.

[Payne Bloodletter]

After leaving her brother's shellan she headed for hers and Manny's mated room and changed into a fresh pair of clothing before hitting the stairs.

She demated close to her brothers location and stood back for a minute. Thus far there seemed to be nothing amiss. With a smile she demats in a little closer this time. "Hello, brothermine. How is the hunting faring?" She moved in a few steps.

[Vishous Bloodletter]

Almost dropped his smoke, did tense up at the sound of her voice. Came to a hault then slowly turned on his shitkicker to face her. Raised a brow in chargain, examining her from her own boots to pulled back hair. Folding his arms across his chest, stared her down, almost the same height or not.

"Just what do you think your doing, Payne?" That determination was in her eyes, unmistakably so. "No. Forget it. Back to the compound with you."

Stood his ground, his tone a note away from angry but she should be reasonable, true?

[Payne Bloodletter]

She flicked an eyebrow. "No." She smiled. "I want to fight. Something. Seeing as I have to wait for you.... i just thought perhaps I might join you." She shrugged her shoulders. "And don't look at me so. You know I'm capable."

[Vishous Bloodletter]

Blew out a breath but didn't budge.

"Payne, I know your capable but seeing you in the field is a problem for me. Plus, anything happens it won't be Manny I'm afraid of." Shook his head, taking a drag then tossing his smoke on the ground. "It's me that would be a problem. Can't you just let me spar with then train you first?"

[Payne Bloodletter]

"I fought with the king of our race and killed our father. You don't think that is training enough?" She glared. She was tmpted to say some of his choice phrases. "Fine. If you won't fight with me. I shall find somone else." She demated then to a different part of the city.

[Vishous Bloodletter]

Closed his eyes after she was gone, then smirked. Two could play the game of guilt eachother. Took out his phone, bringing hers up on speed-dial. Texted her something nice and simple.

Txt: Your right, the King. Tell you what, come back and he doesn't have to hear about the way this happened. Manny either.: Send.

Smirked then started to go around the alley making sure there weren't any whiteheads around for her return. Couldn't decide in that moment if finding out about his twin was good or bad. Though he'd been over that. Plus, couldn't deny she and he were cut from the same cloth.

[Payne Bloodletter]

She heard her phone buzz. Pulling it out of her pocket she read his text. She sent back. "As if you would talk to Manny. Besides. You'd have to let the King know you let me get away." She pressed send.

As it was sent to her brother she sighed. He had a point so without another thought she demated back to him. "Is it bad I just wish to fight with you again brothermine?" She knew it wasn't her night for patrol but at the moment that was all she wanted to do was fight.

[Vishous Bloodletter]

"Not really." He said while nodding at the same time. "Let's see what you brought."

Checked her and found her armed but no daggers. Of course not as he'd yet to make her one. On a resigned sigh, unsheathed one of his and handed it to her.

"Stay close to me, keep your eyes open and remember to use this. That ash thing you do is great, but really only tried and true once. Meantime, anything happens make sure you stay safe. I'll talk to Wrath and Tohrment about making you your own set. C'mon, let's find Butch." Shook his head a little as he started walking again.

She was a warrior, no question. Only not trained and sort of a first. Add being his only sister to that? Yeah this wasn't going to be easy.
