    Quick is crowned with an ostentatious arc of hair that resembles a jagged bolt of lightning. He is very lithe and slightly taller than his Mask appears. His skin is a very pale shade of teal, and is covered in tiny filaments like cracks which glow an orange-red. The tips of his fingers and toes come to points, and his shoulders have hard, jagged projections growing from them.

    The gym is quiet. Probably because it's unpopular. And way out of peak hours. But that's what makes it great; it's almost like a private playground. It had taken Quick a little research to find the best one for the task, but being on the road pretty much all the time has its perks. Knowing the best spots to go. Sure, it's not as clean or new as some of the nicer gyms. Doesn't smell entirely fresh, either. But what is does have is a mostly unused little ring and plenty of gloves. After sending his text, he starts limbering up. Donning some simple grey athletic shorts and a tight-fitting blue shirt, he's almost sad there aren't many people there to see him. Because he looks great.

    The beautiful Sera - a friend if Quick had any in this city - had mentioned boxing. Quick had mentioned how boxing has too many rules. It probably wouldn't matter much. If she shows up, its going to get interesting. He wouldn't be going easy on her just because of some weird sexism disguised as courtesy, either. The Levinquick grins to himself at the thought. Maybe he wouldn't mind smudging her makeup just a bit.

    Not out of jealousy.

    Of course not. As he wraps his hands with bandages, he imagines the scenario in full. She'd probably put up a good fight. Probably look graceful doing it. But, in the end, Quick would get the upper hand. It's the only way it can happen. After, he'd be a good sport and buy them some frozen yogurt or something. What kind of flavors did that shop on the corner have?

    Quick blinks.

    "Wonder when she'll get here..." ​he mutters under his breath. Anticipation is fine. Waiting is boring.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    The Nix had been looking forward to finally having someone to spar with. And someone who was willing not to go easy on her cause she was a girl. Didn’t hurt that it was a fellow Lost.

    The gym he had picked wasn’t one she was familiar with, but figured that would be good. Maybe it would be quiet and not busy, which was always a plus.

    So she was pleasantly surprised when she walked in to see it wasn’t busy. Maybe it was the hour, or maybe it was the smell, she wasn’t sure.

    Spotting the Elemental, she waves. She had to give him credit, he looked good. But that wouldn’t save him in the ring.

    The Nix herself was looking quite eye catching in white athletic shorts and a white tank top, toned body on display. Why wear ugly clothes when you were working out? She was always trying to look good no matter what she was doing. But she never wore makeup when training or working out. The waterproof makeup was too expensive and it was just pointless.

    “Hey James, hope you haven't been waiting long.”
    She greets, dropping a gym bag near her sneaker clad feet. “Interesting choice for a gym, can’t say I’ve ever seen or heard of it.” Reaching into the bag she pulls out her own tape, and mirrors him, wrapping her hands.

    Sera's arrival pulls him out of his impatient funk. He smiles brightly, noting her choice of outfit. This girl knows how to carry herself. And pretty people love being surrounded by pretty people.

    "You probably wouldn't have. I didn't know it was a gym, first time I passed."
    He reaches down and grabs a pair of gloves from a rack, eyeballing them before tossing them Sera's way. After, he spots a pair that would fit him and starts putting one one.

    "Thanks for coming. I've been restless, you know? Need an outlet beyond playing nice." He gives her a wink, sliding on the second glove. He gives his fists a good flex against each other, eyeing the Nix in anticipation. "You look great, by the way."

    He stretches his biceps across his chest, each in turn, and steps up to the ring. With his hand on the ropes, he turns back and gives Sera a beckoning head jerk. "You know... sparring is a great way to get to know someone. See how they react. How they see the world." With that, he hoists himself up into the ring, swinging his legs over the top of the ropes.

    Nodding as she caught the gloves, “That why you picked it? Cause it’s out of the way?” not that it mattered to her. "Do you not want to seen with me?" her tone was one of playfulness and joking.

    She nods as she begins putting the gloves on, “Totally get that, the restless thing. It’s probably why I spend so much time at the gym. And singing.” She shrugs and returns the wink. “Thanks! Always have to look good while training. Clearly you get that.” She says with an appreciative look to him and his outfit.

    Her hands flex in the gloves as she finds the right fit, hitting them against each other a few times. Getting her hands nestled inside.

    “Oh really?” she asks walking up to the ring and stepping in. “Can’t say I’ve heard anyone say something like that. How do you figure?” she asks using the ropes to help her stretch her legs. The Nix figured boxing out be like Kung Fu and other fighting styles where movement was key. So best make sure her legs were good and stretched.

    "Well, we can't go giving people the wrong idea. They might think we're a couple." He fires back.

    "I'll have to hear that. One of these days." he says thoughtfully. Nodding along with her observation, he adds "Taking care of yourself is most of the work. The clothes just play along."

    He studies her as she enters the ring, already thinking of how she would move. She looks like she'd be more fast than strong, especially with those legs. A mischievous grin creeps onto his face. "I'll show you."

    Chuckling with a smirk, “Now we can’t have that!” not that she cared, and she didn’t think he really cared either. But she was willing to banter with him, she was finding she enjoyed his company.

    “Next time I’m performing I’ll give you a call. Make sure and save you the best table in the place.” she offers, doing one last stretch of her legs.

    Arms shake out at her sides as she loosens them and gets a better feel for the weight of the gloves.
    She had to admit, she wasn’t expecting him to fight dirty. And she was thinking this was going to be a friendly sparring match, just two people having fun.

    But his punch caught her off guard, and she realized this wasn’t going to be the fight she was thinking. Taking the hit knocks her back a few paces, and her hands come up.

    There was a snort, “So we’re going to play that way? Fine.” She wasn’t going to hold back either.

    It's almost a shame to break away from the pleasant conversation, but he'd come here to get to know her. Small talk only goes so far. And she certainly seems surprised, but committed - by her admission. His feet start moving, hands up by his face.

    "Good. Show me what you've got!" He probes her defenses with another jab.

    The jab connects, but not as much as the first one.

    A sly smile forms on her lips, “Oh, I fully intend to.” And she intends to lay him out on his back. Especially for that cheap shot.

    But the punch she throws is wild and doesn’t connect. Which pisses her off and a fire kicks up in her eyes. She might have missed this shot, but she has a few tricks up her sleeve as well.

    He's glad to see her match his smile and come at him. A little disappointed by the results, though. Quick doesn't have to move much to avoid her first swing. He'd clearly thrown her off. And the smile on her face is quickly replaced by a look that could pierce the skin. Now it's getting interesting.

    "You can do better."
    he quips, moving back and forth like a regular street brawler. Which, for all intents and purposes, he is. Was. Whatever. He takes another quick fast jab. He doesn't put all of his force behind it, again. That would probably make this a short, frustrating match. For her. Probably.

    So the kid was fast on his feet and with his hits. She’d give him that.

    Snorting, “Of course I can.” She knows her skills, and also can’t figure out why she’s botching her throws today. Normally she can throw hits left and right and take her target out quickly.

    Maybe it was the gloves which she’d never worn before? She wasn’t sure, but she wasn’t about to let it slow her down or have her throw in the towel.

    Her next punch lands, but not with the effect or strength she wanted.
