Freya had come straight from the Club rooms. She knew Jericho was a monster, so she was in the monster dorms, but as soon as she found her way there, she realized she had no idea which dorm was his. So she walked the halls, looking at each door, and hoping she would find some obvious clue to his whereabouts.
After about 10 minutes of searching, she actually did. Not only did the door have his name on it.. but the crack underneath was eminating some serious heat. Oh yes, this was Jericho's dorm all right.
She knocked three times and waited, hands held clasped behind her back.

It wasn't hard to find Jericho once you knew where his room was. Most of the time, that was where he could be found now. Upon hearing the knock at his door, he slowly pushed himself up and went to answer. He didn't know who it was, but he went to see anyway. Maybe Lizzy was bringing him more burnt food. Mmm..
This wasn't quite the case as he found Freya standing outside.
"Oh, hey Freya. What's up?" he blinked while looking over the Valkyrie, wondering what she wanted.

"Hi, Jericho." Her bright, chirpy voice greeted him. She reached out and gave him a hug around the middle, before pulling away and letting herself in. No invitation needed.
"Nice place yeh gots here!" She hopped on one foot and twirled around, taking a good look. "Warm. Just likes yeh likes it I'm sure." She gave him a smug grin, for just a moment, but after a beat of silence, the humor slowly drained from her face. She looked at him - strong, burdened, serious - and knew she'd come to the right place.
"I needs yehr help." Her tone had changed completely, and it was rare to hear the valkyrie with such a quiet voice.

Jericho just sort of gave a weak smile at her greeting and hug, getting out of the way as she let herself in. Closing the door, he turned to her, nodding as she mentioned the temperature.
"Yeah. Wouldn't have it any other way," he said. When her tone suddenly shifted, he looked at her carefully.
"What is it? I.. don't know if I would be of much help nowadays but... ask anyway."

Her smile returned, but it was small and knowing, and it didn't reach her eyes. "Oh, I'm sure yeh can helps me just fines. I just wants teh use teh Fitness Club. A lot. And I wants yeh teh helps me learn how teh gets stronger." She walked over and patted one of his arms. "No matter whats yehr goings through right now, there's one things about yeh that's never goings teh change. Yehr strong. And I wants that."
Her hands clasped behind her back again. "So. Will yeh helps me?"

There was a sort of sad smile that touched Jericho's lips at Freya's request. Right. Since Riley was out of commission, the Fitness club was pretty much his charge now. Though, he hadn't really done anything with it due to his own condition and mental state.
"Well, as long as you're a club member you can use it... just be sure to bring someone with you. We still have the buddy system rule and all," he said, though he realized she was asking him to train her perhaps.
"Are you really sure you want me as a trainer though?"

"That's why I'm here, Jericho." She answered both of his questions at once, folding her arms in front of her with a stoic determination that was completely unlike her. She gave him a steady glance, and nodded. "Yehr the one I wants teh brings with me." If Riley was alive, she probably would have gone to the mindflayer for this. But she knew Jericho, at least - he was her friend. This was easier. "Yehr goings teh trains me teh be as good as yeh. Got it?"
There was still a trace of sass in her request - as much as Freya tried to be serious like Shun, she couldn't deny who she was, and how she treated any obstacle.

Jericho didn't really remember Freya to be quite this serious. But he didn't know her all too well, so he didn't think too much of it. Rubbing the back of his neck, he shifted his wings under his cloak a bit and nodded.
"I'll try. I.. suppose I need to get out a little more anyway," he said quietly. There usually weren't too many people in the fitness club room anyway, so he should be fine in there.
"When do you want to start?"

Freya lit up like a firework on the Fourth of Gathering October. She hopped up and down, and grabbed him by the arms. "Right now!" She piped up, looking like herself again.

The dragon seemed a little taken back by that answer, not expecting her to want it RIGHT now.
"Ah. Right. Just.. give me a moment," he said with a sheepish grin. Jericho mainly wanted to make sure that his cloak was secured.
"Alright... I guess.. let's get going then? Though are you sure you want to start today? Do you need to go gather your exercise clothing?"

Freya pulled away and looked down at herself - she was wearing pants, for once, and a form fitting t-shirt. It was her shoes that he was probably most worried about, though.. as the high heeled boots did not look very appropriate for exercise.
But she didn't know that.
Freya actually didn't own shoes without heels.
"What's wrong with my clothes?" She whined, sounding offended and hurt.

Jericho blinked at Freya's whine, rubbing the back of his neck again.
"Well I don't know if you'd want to get these clothes sweaty and stuff. Besides, you need a pair of sneakers. Those boots won't help you much when we're working. You might even hurt yourself," he pointed out.

She didn't mind getting her clothing sweaty, but..
Looking down at her boots, she frowned, and then looked up at Jericho guiltily.
"But I don't has sneakers.." Her whine was softer this time, but still there. "I used teh but.. I throws them out not so long ago.."
Now what?

That was a bit unfortunate.
"Well, you're going to need to buy some then. There should be a shoe store in town where you could grab a pair quick," Jericho noted. He wasn't willing to let her risk getting a sprain ankle or whatever just because she didn't have proper footwear.

"Fiiine.." She whined, slumping visibly in despair. "I will buys them tomorrow. Can we goes and does some easy exercise today, at least? Trust me, I am very goods in these shoes!" She reached out and picked up one foot, pulling it up as far as it could go - which ended up only being about a right angle. Then she hopped around on one foot while awkwardly holding her other one up. Admittedly, hopping on one foot in heels was something - but there was no grace about her actions.
