Okay so she hadn't exactly TRAINED, but she had gotten in some fist fights with Thorne a few times. Real ones, in a boxing ring with gloves, technique and form. Not just bar fights (she'd gotten into one ONE time and Chris wouldn't let her live it down).
She knew Shun went to this gym sometimes, and while she wasn't looking for him persay, she did slight hope he'd show up. At least so they could talk; Chel hated leaving confrontations half finished unless she was the one choosing to walk away. She had, for a while, cast Shun out of her brain, but eventually having to see him so many times at the apartment just got tiring.
So she didn't so much want friendship now as she wanted to stop being on edge every time she saw him.

It seemed like as good of a day as any other to hit the gym, and some bags. He made his way in, stopped by the lockers for a bit, then moved on into one of the rooms before he began to tape up his hands and wrists, as well as his ankles. It was all routine.

Chel was on the opposite side of the room, and she saw him come in but wasn't sure he saw her. She decided to ignore it for the time being (god forbid she appear desperate), leaving him be to whatever routine he'd dedicated to today.
Eventually she needed to refill her water bottle and thus moved to the water fountain to fill it. After she swung around to where Shun was inevitably punching one of the bags.
"Come here often?" That was how she chose to approach him. A good plan.

Shun did notice Chel out of the corner of his eye, but he opted to ignore her for the time being. No need to be giving himself a headache when he just wanted to work out.
He was in the warm up phase of his routine when she had come by, speaking up. A light sigh escaped him.
"What do you want, Chel?"

"Fer you t'hold up a bargain," she responded, teeth bared in a smile. "You said you'd duke it out with me f'I learned stuff."

"Have you?" he asked simply, sizing her up. It was entirely possible she could be claiming something that didn't actually happen. Quite frankly, there wasn't any way for him to verify that she did take lessons from anyone, as far as he was aware. But... he supposed that would become relatively obvious should they actually step into the ring.

"Depends on yer definition of learned," Chel said, hands pressed together and pointed at him. "But I tried at least."
Considering who Chel was, that had to count for something.

Shun tilted his head at her, watching the girl carefully.
"Very well. Start warming up."

"I already been on the weights for a while. Warmed up as it's gonna get," she said with a shrug.
She did, at least, gesture for him to give her some of his tape. If she was going to do this, she was going to look cool doing it.

Looking at her, he glanced down at his roll of athletic tape for a moment. Then, with a grunt, he tossed it at her, then went to stretch and get himself warmed up. She might have been at the weights for awhile, but he had more or less just arrived to the gym.

Chel wrapped her hands and then waited.
Waited.

Several minutes went by while Shun prepared himself. Once he was all set up and ready, he rolled his shoulders and cast her a glance. He motioned her to follow with a slight toss of his head, then turned to head towards the ring.
It was not in use, currently.
He climbed on up onto the mat and lightly bounced in place, testing how it felt.

After about 30 seconds had passed, Chel had begrudgingly begun warming up with him, if only because it felt weird to stand near him while he did so. That, and she needed to stay warm too otherwise her whole body was going to crunch up like a pretzal.
She made a face behind his back at the silent gesture, but said nothing to alert him of the expression.
"What, you tryna moonshoes outta here? 'Cause you can't leave now," she joked, kicking her shoes off before ducking onto the ring as well. She did better without shoes. Without clothes too, but she didn't tell Shun that part.

Shun already didn't have his shoes on, given that he had to tape up his ankles and all.
"What makes you think that I am trying to leave?" he grunted.
The detective moved over, then brought his fists up as he shifted into stance. He kept on the balls of his feet while he stared down at Chel.
"Rules requests?"

"Don't kill me?" she said, putting up her own fists in a less than professional stance. "And what do I get f'I win?"
Because fights required bets.
