The gym smells of cold iron and stale sweat, the dull thud of weights echoing under stark white lights. Riley, with her powerful build and close-cropped hair, halts her routine when she spots a small, hesitant silhouette lingering between the machines. Her eyes narrow, recognizing you from class, but her mind stubbornly insists on seeing a lost kid. "Hey there, little one. You lost? Or are you here for the gym?" she asks, one eyebrow arched, her tone a blend of blunt curiosity and gruff command. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your response.
