It had been a few days since the 'outing' that Astra had had, and also a few days since she had last seen the cat ghoul she had met at the shops. Although she had rather enjoyed the brief time she had talked with her she had never intended for it to end the way it did.
At the very least, she had learned a new way to prank others. But it was something she hadn't wanted to do to then because she hardly knew her. The fairy was thinking on how to make it up to the other, but she hadn't seen her since nor did she know which dorm she was in. And besides that, what dorm was she supposed to be in?
But these questions were soon pushed out of her mind as she passed the fitness club room, realizing that she hadn't been there in a while. Thinking she should take some time to practice using the equipment, she opened the door to go inside.

It had taken Riyo just as many days to get the disgusting 'crunch' sound out of her mind. Today was the first day she had been able to sit down and eat a full plate of food...
And go figure, the first time she saw that Jack damn fairy again.
Riyo had already been inside, readying herself for a couple hours of training. The feline hadn't been in there for more than five minutes... And the door opened.
"... You." She hissed, eyes filled with rage. "Because of you, I haven't been able to look at a single food item straight without hearing a crunching sound!"

It was about time for another scheduled training, so Jericho had been making his way to the clubhouse to meet up with Riyo. He was expecting it to go more or less like the last handful of times, which generally meant the room being empty aside from them.
When he walked in though, he found that not only was the cat demon already there, but the little Klefairy was around too.
Frowning at the sight of Astra, he just made his way inside and set his gym bag down. He had missed the words Riyo said to the other girl, nor was he aware at all of what went on between them before. It didn't matter, seeing how he just didn't really like Astra all that much anyway. Sure, she had gained a few points with him with her little peace offering, but he wasn't on friendly terms with her in the slightest.
"Hey Riyo," he greeted, "Ready for today?"

Safe to say, this was probably one of the worser receptions she had ever received upon entering a building.
Astra looked up with wide eyes, not believing who she saw for a moment. The cat ghoul, was part of the fitness club?
Well, stranger things had happened
But she didn't dwell on the whys or hows for very long, as riyo was looking very angry at her.
"b....but..." She began to say trying to think of something that could make situation, but nothing was coming to her. So instead, she defaulted by saying the only thing that might get her out of trouble.
"It's not my fault!"
...well, she thought it might help...
As she stood in the doorway she noticed someone walk past her, and immediately froze up when she realized it was jericho. The last time she had seen him was when she had gave him some treasure, but she wasn't sure weather had helped with him not wanting to burn her fairy butt, so she hid behind one of the treadmills in a effort to stay safe.

"Not your FAULT?" Riyo hissed, her fist shaking at the smaller ghoul with fury in her eyes. If there was one wrong thing to say, THAT would be it.
"Do you realize how immature it is to deny fault on something that OBVIOUSLY is?" Because not asking what it was beforehand didn't put just a little bit of fault on Riyo. Oh no, not at all.
It looked like she was ready to release more obscenities from her mouth, but the sound of the door opening once again caught her attention. "I will be in a second." The feline nodded, trying not to sound annoyed as she spoke to the dragon.
Though, as she turned back to continue scolding the fairy, it appeared that the ghoul had taken initiative and hidden from her. "Hiding won't make this better!" Though it did stroke Riyo's ego a little, thinking that Astra was hiding from her..

Apparently something had gone on between the two girls, judging what Riyo was saying to the fairy right now. Furrowing his brow, Jericho glanced from her to the treadmill where Astra was now hiding. Since she had ducked away, he could only imagine that she was still somewhat terrified of him. Well good.
"Did she steal something from you?" he asked the feline. He didn't have much of an idea of what happened but the thing he suggest was definitely one possibility. That damn little klefairy.

"But it isn't!" Astra persisted, her head popping out from behind the treadmill. "I just offered you something to eat! I thought you'd like it, it's not like it was poison or anything..." She then began to disappear again behind the treadmill, only leaving her antenna visible
"And hiding makes everything better...." She grumbled, only to squeak in alarm when Jericho accused her of stealing. Oh jack, if he really did think that he might do something about it..
"I didn't steal anything from her!" She squeaked. "I swear!" While it was very tempting, she usually refrained from stealing from strangers. Especially in a public area, cause you could get into much more trouble if you were caught.

Her palm immediately striking the front of her face, Riyo took in a deep breath and tried to calm down. The fairy was partially right. Her intent wasn't malicious in the least.
Wait... What was that about stealing? "N-no. Not that I know of, anyways..." Raising an eyebrow, the feline looked to Jericho. "I take it from that oddly specific question you know her." And Jericho didn't appear too pleased with the ghoul either.
"Look." Riyo started, turning back to Astra... Or at least what she could see of Astra. "I'm guessing the whole 'bug eating' thing isn't a social stigma where you come from. Lemme go ahead and tell you straight out that for some people, the idea of eating crawly, crunchy, filthy little..." She had to pause for a moment, face contorting in disgust and a hand reaching to touch her upset stomach. "... Isn't pleasant."

Astra's response confused him. This was about food? That wasn't exactly something he expected, especially with an offering. Looking over at Riyo again, he nodded as she asked if he knew the other.
"Yeah, I know her," he said with a sigh. How could he not know the Klefairy when she was sneaking around his room that one time. Not to mention a few of their other run-ins with one another.
"So... this is about eating bugs then?" he asked with a touch of confusion in his voice.

A social stigma? Astra's head creeped up slowly while Riyo tried to explain why eating bugs was a bad thing. Which..made sense, she was aware that others did not like to eat things like bugs. But to be outcasted by eating one? That confused her. She knew other races would eat far more disgusting things then what she had offered the cat ghoul.
On that note, she looked at jericho whom seemed rather confused about the hole thing. "I offered her some of my lunch the other day" she explained. "and when she ate it she found out that it was a beetle she was eating, and now she's mad at me cause I gave it to her" The faqiry watched him carefully for any signs of anger, encase he was going to take riyo's side in this..which he probably would be default. "But it wasn't icky! It's actually a really nice dish, all my friends love it back home, it's really yummy..."

"Yes..." Riyo sighed to Jericho's question. "That's exactly what it's about." Most of the demons she had been affiliated with would've either laughed her off the face of the planet or equipped the same look of disgust she'd had after eating the bug.
"I'm not mad at you because you gave it to me, I'm mad because you didn't tell me what it was!" Riyo argued, her brow furrowing. "I don't EAT bugs! The thought of doing so makes me sick to my stomach! I don't care if you do, but it's something that I'm not interested in 100%!"

Furrowing his brow, Jericho glanced back and forth between Riyo and the treadmill Astra hid behind. With a sigh, he shook his head. This was a little ridiculous really. While he could see where some of Riyo's anger was, he felt this might be a little over the top.
"Settle down," he said with a frown. It was a statement aimed at both girls, "You can bicker about this some other time but I have some training to do with Riyo and would rather not waste time over this."

"But you didn't ask me" Astra said, then quickly shut her mouth, surprised that jericho had made a pretty neutral statement. It was a relief to know that she wasn't going to be attacked by both sides.
But besides that, her curiosity was piqued at the mention of 'training'. She knew that the dragon was one of the clubs qualified 'trainers' but had never been to a training session. Other then the first paintball meeting of course
"You're doing some training?" She asked riyo, finally coming out of her hiding place to stand in front of her. "What kind?"

Astra just seemed to know how to say the wrong things. Red eyes a-blazin', Riyo was about to continue the verbal abuse when Jericho requested the two of them to take it up another time.
It was hard for her to resist the urge to continue. Hard as hell... But...
Taking in a deep breath, the feline closed her eyes and let it out slowly. "Okay.." More than anything, she didn't want to waste the dragon's time. Not after all this. Which reminded her of how indebted she felt. Ugh.
"Yeah..." Riyo turned around as she answered the fairy, reluctantly taking her jacket off and tossing it to the side. Still wearing a long-sleeved top. Yeah, it made the heat a little more unbearable, but there was no way she'd lower her standards even for an instant when it came to clothing. No chance... The insecurity was much more overwhelming.
"Anything. I'm not as physically fit as I once was, so I'll do whatever I need to." The feline explained, holding back the irritation she still felt.

Jericho shot a glance towards Astra briefly, then moved on towards the mats so he could get Riyo to do her warm ups and stretches.
"Yep. Anyway, I figure today we'll hit the weights a bit. After we've done the warmups and such of course," he nodded. Staring back over to where Astra hid for the moment, he shrugged and faced forward again.
"And if our resident Klefairy wants to join in I guess there's no harm in it. Can't do anything in here without supervision anyway."
