Late one day after school Mitsu found herself walking across the campus, a backpack over her shoulder and a mission in her mind. Since joining the fitness club Mitsu had yet to really go and make use of the club room and the things it had to offer. Not that she had joined that long ago but she honestly didn't even know what the inside of the place looked like. She hadn't even looked around. Now she was heading that way to remedy this problem. Hopefully with it being the evening not too many people would be around.
Following her breadcrumb trail of mental landmarks Mitsu finally found her way to the club room after a wrong turn here and there. At times it felt like she needed a GPS to get around. Staring at the door for a moment Mitsu finally pushed it open and made her way inside. Her masked face turned this way and that peeking just passed the door to see if anyone was inside before walking in.

For one reason or another, Shun hadn't really gotten around to using the clubhouse himself either. Today seemed as good of a time as any so he gathered his things and headed to the place to see if he could make use of it. He was a member now and all.
Making his way to the clubhouse, he paused as he saw the white haired wolf up ahead, peeking her head into the door. He did recall her saying that she had signed up as well so he wasn't too surprised to see her here.
Lightly picking up his pace, it didn't take too long before the Reaper had reached the door as well, quietly stepping in after Mitsu. Before saying anything, he looked around though at first glance it didn't seem like anyone was around right now, not that it bothered him.
"Seems like a quiet day in here," he commented before looking towards the girl, "I suppose it's a good thing we've decided to come at the same time then."
Shun vaguely recalled something about some rule regarding never being in the clubhouse alone. ... Not that he'd follow that all the time if he felt the need.

Mitsu's ears gave a twitch at the top of her head picking up an approaching noise from not far off. As she turned around she saw Shun coming in the door after her, though it surprised her a little on how close he was. His footfalls were a lot softer than expected, she would have expected there to be a little more distance between them.
"Y..yeah quiet." It wasn't until he followed up with their luck about showing up at the same time that Mitsu remembered reading about the rule on not coming alone. She had completely forgotten about it. That kind of spoiled the idea of coming to workout and do stuff alone when no one else was here.
"S-so what do you have in mind?" Maybe if she watched him for a little bit she would have an idea of what to do. She had never really used fitness equipment or done anything involving exercise beyond stretching and running. The wolf girl also needed to change, her clothes having been stuffed in the bag over her shoulder. It wouldn't really be practical to exercise in a skirt she didn't think.

Looking around some more, Shun shrugged and made his way towards the lockers section of the clubhouse.
"Not sure yet. Gotta see what they have here exactly. If they have punching and kicking bags I might work with those," he said, "Just about anything is fine though. They should have some weights and machines I think."
Though he had a feeling that Mitsu wasn't exactly the type to use that sort of equipment, he figured it could still work out if they weren't far from wherever she was going to work. He assumed that they would need to be in close proximity to one another for the 'not be alone' thing to be in effect. If they weren't, he could easily find something else to do in there most likely.

Following Shun toward the lockers Mitsu continued to look around to get an idea of things. Maybe she was a little in over her head. She honestly had no idea what to do. "I..I don't know what to try..." She finally admitted as she made her way to the locker room. "I've only ever done track."
Shuffling her bag off her shoulders Mitsu hesitated before she made her way into the ghoul's locker room to change. She only spent a little bit of time picking out a locker before she set her stuff down on a bench to pull out the clothes she had picked to wear and the worn tennis shoes she still had. A little bit of time passed before she emerged from the locker rooms with an over-sized shirt on, no doubt it was her brothers, some shorts, tennis shoes, and her hair up in a loose ponytail. Afraid to really take off her mask since anyone could walk in it was still firmly set on her face.

"We'll figure something out once we get warmed up," Shun shrugged before making his way to the lockers to get changed it something more suitable. This basically just consisted of a loose t-shirt and some sweatpants for the most part. Stuffing the rest of his things into one of the lockers, he soon came back out into the main area to meet back up with Mitsu.
He didn't really have much of a clue as to what might work for her. For one thing he didn't know if she was seeking out anything in particular. The treadmill might work best if this place happened to have some.
Regardless, he was fine with winging this process.

Looking to Shun as he came out of the boil's locker room Mitsu began to fidget with her shirt a little wondering if she could ask him for help on getting started. She had no real goals, maybe work on her upper body strength a little since it was greatly lacking. The wolf girl wouldn't mind continuing to work on her leg strength though she had no real idea how to go about that other than just running around or swimming.
"I..I guess I will start stretching." She finally said after a bit of silence. "W..would...would you...." She trailed off when she realized Shun was here to work out as well. It wouldn't be fair of her to bother him. Shaking her head a bit she looked to the ground. She could figure it out on her own right? How hard could it be really?

Nodding to her, Shun went on over towards an open spot in the room. Hearing Mitsu begin to ask something, he turned around to see what she wanted. However, she stopped herself and was now looking towards the ground. Furrowing his brow, he stared at her while waiting to see if she was going to finish that sentence.
"What is it?" he asked when it seemed like she wasn't about to say anything.

Mitsu's ears fell back a little as her head tilted up toward Shun, her stance a little nervous. "I..I was going to ask for help but...y-you came here to exercise too....I-I don't want to bother you."
She started to move a little further into the room toward where Shun was standing. "I..is it alright if I watch? To get some ideas on what to do?" That way she wouldn't really be bothering him she hoped.

Shun shrugged at Mitsu, not really caring if she wanted to watch.
"If you need help, just ask," he said plainly before taking in a deep breath and beginning to stretch out. The reaper started off with his arms, then worked on a few leg stretches as well. After doing a few of these, he glanced over at Mitsu, wondering what she was going to do exactly.

Mitsu gave a short nod, "O-okay." She would watch first before she asked for help. Maybe if she paid attention she would get ideas for things to try. In the meantime though she started to stretch out, though the focus was mostly on her legs. Being a runner of sorts stretching her legs had always been a main focus.
Once she was done, or what she considered done, Mitsu sat herself on the floor for the meantime. Curiously her gaze traveled over to Shun, her eyes settling on the scars on his arms. She faintly remembered seeing the scaring on the rest of his body too when he had emerged from the shower.
"Those....must have hurt" She said softly gesturing to one of his arms. The thought never occurred that it could be a taboo subject much like why she covered her face. He hadn't been nervous about them back at her room or even now he had a short sleeved shirt on. "Did you get in an accident of some kind?" Mitsu had some scars too though she honestly couldn't remember where she had gotten them. Just random cuts here and there, some painful and unable to be explained. Mr. Adolphus had once told her she was sleep walking and being that she was clumsy probably hurt her self during those times. It was plausible she supposed.

For the most part, Shun was trying to stretch wherever he could since he didn't have an exact game plan on what he was going to do. Regardless, he didn't want to end up pulling anything once he started getting into the more strenuous exercises.
At the mention of the scars on his arms, he glanced down at them and shrugged. They had been injuries at some point and all so yes, they did hurt when he received them. He didn't really have anything to say on the matter until Mitsu decided to follow up with a question regarding them.
"I did not," he answered, "Most were a result of training, one way or another."

Mitsu tilted her head rather curiously. "Training? What kind of training?" Though he had mentioned something like that before right? It was while they were doing homework and she had asked him about spells. He said most of his training had been physical so far. It made her curious and a little worried the kind of training he would go through to be scarred so badly.

"Sparring... among other things," Shun explained, "Sometimes it'd be some sort of obstacle course or I'd have to do certain tasks. Failure often led to rather harsh punishments as well."
His tone had remained pretty neutral throughout that, however, at the mention of failure, there was a hint of bitterness within that word. It was something that frustrated him greatly.
"My father did not take it easy on me. Let's just say that," he said, sounding a little cold as he did so.

There was that bitter tone again when Shun mentioned his father. Mitsu was starting to get a pretty clear picture that he and his father were not on the best of terms. And his dad had punished him for not being able to complete a task? Ears falling back Mitsu hunched a little.
"S...sorry. I-I shouldn't have brought it up." Now she realized it was probably a sensitive subject, especially by the cold tone that Shun was using coupled with that intense look. It sent chills down her spine. She would hate to ever make him angry.
