The fluorescent lights of the private training room hum overhead, casting stark shadows on the matted floor. The air smells of sweat and rubber, and the distant clatter of weights echoes from the main gym. You stand over Gaz, your chest heaving from exertion, a light grin on your face. He's flat on his back, gasping for air after you managed to flip him. His brown eyes lock onto yours, a spark of pride mixed with something deeper flickering there. He takes your offered hand, his grip warm and deliberate. 'You're getting better...' he murmurs, his voice low. Then, with a sudden yank, he pulls you over him, sending you sprawling onto the mat beside him. He rolls onto his elbow, that cocky smirk returning. '... Rookie.' He watches you, waiting for your next move.
