With a new year came a new hunting regime. Tonight Mjolnir was exploring the business district of Destiny City; so far there was nothing to report. It was the kind of night she hated --- cold, quiet and boring. Though it was foolish to wish for confrontation a night without it always felt wasted. It would have been better spent in bed.
Finally there was the faintest sign of an aura and the Senshi moved to investigate. Mjolnir did not know much about knights, and admittedly mistook the aura for a Senshi at first --- so when she found a girl sat quite idly on a rooftop she was set back a little. Why did she always find Knights slacking off?
“It is a bit early in the night to be taking a break, isn’t it?” She asked, heels echoing against the tile as she approached the girl.

"I," Anakeion yawned, flapping a hand vaguely in the direction of Mjolnir (she didn't feel like turning around), "need the exercise, not the risk of getting murdered. Before we get all awkward and ask for names, here's mine -- Anakeion Page of Castor." She had her legs curled underneath her, a small hot pink bottle of pepper spray to her side and a book in her lap, and seemed engrossed enough in it to not check.
"So, like, rain check -- you're not gonna try and punch me, right? Because if you are I'll probably just leave."

She had no reason to punch her. Not unless she continued with the cheek.
“Really?” Mjolnir tilted her head and placed a hand on her hip, looking at the woman, who still had her back turned, curiously. “I thought Castor Knights would be…” She began, putting a finger to her chin and rolling her eyes in thought.
Saying more impressive was rude.
“Fiercer.”

"I'm an average college student with a secret double life," Anakeion huffed, pushing herself up off the ground and folding her book closed, turning around to glance at Mjolnir curiously. "The whole 'blood knight' thing would be cool if everyone I fought also had as pathetic as a weapon as me -" she summoned her toy pillar to her hand with a sigh - "but they don't, n' half of them have magic, so I like to take the reasonable route and expect people more experienced than me will take care of it so I don't get murdered." She winked, then. "Usually works, actually! 's how I awakened, even. Besides, I figure I have room to grow, yeah? I'm only first level."

Mjolnir scowled. The ‘average college student line’ did not sit well with her at all. “I just hear a lot of excuses. If your weapon is so useless fight with your fists. If you do not know how, learn.” Mjolnir had a very similar mindset to the young Knight when she was first awakened, Remarque was the one that motivated her to improve herself. Motivated her to become stronger, useful.
Damn it Castor, I am doing your ******** job.
“The only way to get stronger is to fight. You can not wait to get stronger so you CAN fight.” She stated, folding her arms and eyeing the girl, and her weapon, from head to toe. It did seem pretty useless though…

"Geez, geez, whoa, ok -" Anakeion held her hands up, trying to placate Mjolnir in some way, shape or form - "I get it, alright? I know I need to learn how to fight - and I am gonna start taking self-defense lessons soon - who knows," her tone went sardonic, "maybe the universe'll be so proud of me I'll get an actual shirt and lose the heels, wouldn't that be nice."
She paused for a sec. "...sorry, though. We really got off on the wrong foot - that was my fault. I know I seem like I don't take this real seriously at all -- I do, I promise, it's just been...it's been a weird week." Well. A weird month. A weird Destiny City.

“Why not start them now?” She asked, flexing her fingers to crack her knuckles. “It just gets weirder from here on out; and hand to hand combat is my jam.” She rolled her shoulder, noting that this Knight didn’t seem concerned at all by the fact she was a Dark Mirror Senshi - she wondered if she even knew what one was.
”And I do not mean to be rude at all - but who is your tutor? Has anyone taken you under their wing yet? Or are you still on your own?”

"Nnnnot tonight," Anakeion laughed nervously. "I don't have a tutor, nah -- I wasn't really powering up very much at all until maybe a month ago? And then I kind of figured '******** it, actually put some heart into it', but - eh. I know Castor's a busy guy, and I figure it's easier to pass off me disappearing every night if I'm going to an actual class that I pay for. I know it sounds like procrastination -" she winced - "and, honestly, it kinda is? But I like to keep things as on the books as I can."

“You really think you wouldn’t be a priority?” Wow, she must not know him well. From what she knew there was nothing more important to Castor than rebuilding the Homeworlds, he must have near pissed his pants with joy when he found one of his Knights reborn, in the flesh. She was glad for him, and a little disappointed that he was not checking up on her. “Have you even asked? Or is that you procrastinating again?”
She stepped closer to the girl. “I reject that answer, if you do not want to fight me then get down and start doing push ups - I mean you could run, but I am a pretty fast and either way you are getting the exercise.”

"He," Anakeion clicked her tongue, "is basically a legitimate adult, unlike me? But like, yeah, it's me procrastinating because I don't do commitment." She said it with such ease -- it was clearly something she knew, had long since known, and felt absolutely no need to change it. "But in the interest of you not shaming me, I'm just gonna -- one second --"
She dropped into a pushup position. It was pretty textbook, too; Anakeion had some strength, for all her complaints. "I'd ask how many you want me to do, but it's until my arms give out, isn't it?" The smile on her face was the smile of someone who was very rapidly realizing their mistakes.

“Yea, he is pretty old.” She stated, her face a picture of seriousness. It was not a lie.
Admittedly she was surprised the girl actually got down, it had won her some points, a lot of points actually. “You got it.” A small laugh left her lips, then she got on the floor herself, lowering and raising her body in time with the Knight.. “Then we will do sit ups until we feel sick and squats until our legs are jelly” She stated, golden eyes drifting to look at the girl - if not just to make sure she was not cheating.
“My name, it’s Mjolnir by the way.”

"Couldn't we just plank instead," Anakeion groaned, rolling her eyes back into her head. "I can hold that for, like, 30 seconds -" and she grunted in exertion. It wasn't that she wasn't an active person -- but this degree of concentrated physicality was more than exceedingly rare, it was unheard of.
But she had to impress Mjolnir, because she was a sucker for a cute lady, anyways. Or die trying.
