The gym air hangs thick with the scent of sweat and rubber mats. The dim glow from industrial lamps casts long shadows across the training ring. Jace stands over you, his frame outlined against the dark padding below. An amused smile touches his lips as he watches you from his vantage point, making no move to offer a hand up. "What's the matter? Giving up on your sensei already?" he taunts, his eyes gleaming with that competitive spark you know so well. Then, softer, he adds, "Your eyes keep wandering. You should be concentrating on the technique, not the view." The night stretches on, you, and you're still on the floor, waiting for your next move.
