Eyeing the map’s direction on where the rooms are she needs to head towards till she feels confident enough to have memorized the route, she clicks her tongue against the roof of her mouth to get Sev’s attention as she glances at him. Antennae twitching as he glances back at her, she smiles. “Let’s go Sev, I know where we have to go too now.” She says while waving only for a single moment at the map, then walks towards the door that leads to the hallway she needs to be in. It will be bit of a squeeze for Sev to go through, but from what she could tell of the map, the directions leading towards the room they will need to be in is more difficult to get to from the outside what with the building being so huge. And last time she did got a bit lost on where the room with treadmills are located so she figures doing it this way, while an hassle for Sev, would get them much sooner in the room to start with. Trilling in a wavering tone, Sev slowly follows after her, hesitating when she goes through a different door then before. He isn’t exactly small now that he is an adult, and going through the door he has to crawl a bit sideways when he tries to squeeze his abdomen through it. She has to help him through that part as his feet aren’t sticky enough to be able to learn how to crawl on walls. The hall itself at least is big enough for him to walk through more comfortable while he glances around at anything of interest, such as paintings or photographs of creatures who are doing their best at the gym. They are lucky they didn’t meet any other gym goers as they pass through.
Each door is marked with a name on what they specialize in, and signs on top when the hallway splits in more then one direction makes it easy to follow along where till they reach the room that will help a creature learn how to move more gracefully when it’s marked where everything is. Maybe she shouldn’t have needed to worry so much. They got here early enough in the morning that not many people are visiting the gym yet. Helping Sev squeeze through the door marked for dexterity training, she sees they are not alone. An employee seems to be busy setting things up, and gets distracted by Sev when he trills at them in a more questioning tone as his antennae are perked up. Stroking his head to quiet him down, she than walks closer to the person, hoping to gain more information about this room as she can tell there is quite a bit of obstacles and different machines in the room.

“Okay, so how does this work exactly again?” He hears her rumble out in a tone that sounds questioning, he doesn’t pay much attention to his caretaker and the other being she is talking to, rather, he is more interested in the room. A lot of poles are sticking out on the ground in lines and on the walls. There is even a portion of the walls that goes up and narrows down, with poles sticking out of the walls that would make it difficult to get through. It looks barely big enough for him to get through with how narrow it is, but maybe he is wrong and there is actually more space up there then he is able to see from here. There is more objects than just that in the room, but he isn’t quite certain yet what they are there for. He trills softly in interest as he sees his caretaker walk away from the other person, signaling for him to come after her. Reluctantly he follows her as he rises his abdomen to make crawling easier, his body twinging in lingering ache when he does. At least he doesn’t feel the exhaustion from a couple of days ago.

It also doesn’t seem like she intends for him to get up on any moving ground either as he stops in front of a thick white line, the ground under his feet reminding him of the circuit he crawled on more than a week ago, but with a straight line of strange holes in it. He eyes her up curiously when after she drops the poles on the ground noisily, she shrugs of her backpack and lowers it to the ground in order to rummage through it, looking for something. He feels a bit awkward waiting for something to happen, but at least it didn’t last too long. She is able to quickly find the grey cloth he is all too familiar with as she comes closer to him, wrapping first his legs in the restrictive cloth, and then part of his abdomen. He tests just how secure it is by stretching his legs and retracting it quickly, he doesn’t feel the telltale signs of loosening cloth that might make it possible for him to trip and injure himself if he can’t catch himself with his remaining legs, so that at least is good enough for him. And while he might not like the restrictive cloth, he does have to admit that at least in the case with his abdomen it helps preventing his chitin getting scraped on the ground if he doesn’t pay enough attention to keep it raised while moving in a fast pace.

The moment she is done with wrapping him up, he turns in her direction to see what she is doing when goes back to her bag and rummages through it once more, she starts to set up his water and food bowl, leaving the latter empty. He doesn’t feel thirsty enough yet to come closer to his bowls, and feels more interested in her picking up the poles and stepping on the circuit to place them in the strange holes. Leaving quite a bit of space between each pole, when the holes in it seem to suggest the distance could be made even shorter with it. “Okay Sev,” He hears her say when she seems to be done placing everything on the straight path, and walks towards him. “pay attention to me now, this is what we are going to be doing.” He hears her say not just out loud, but also in his mind. He thinks its so he could get used to her strange language, but he isn’t able to say for certain without asking, and he isn’t interested enough to know the answer for it. Most of it is just gibberish except for the stuff that gets frequently repeated and seems important to learn.

He sees her start to run when she knows she has captured his attention, and he watches in interest as she runs right in the path of the pole, but moves quickly to the left in order to avoid it, runs, then goes right, and repeats it with each pole she encounters. He trills in a questioning tone, antennae pressed to the back of his head, having hoped he didn’t need to run. But the small show she just gave him dashes that hope rather quickly. ‘See? This should be much easier then running in a constant fast rhythm.’ She bares her teeth at him, lips quirked up, but no angry expression in sight. So she’s in a cheerful mood then. “C’mon Sev, follow.” He hears her say after a short pause, and walks in front of him and not behind him like she has done previously the few times they were at this place. Slightly puzzled, he heaves his abdomen to rise up, carefully curling himself up enough to be able to keep his balance and not fall backwards as he crawls after her, he ignores the twinge of muscles aching as best as he can.
Compared to before, this is nothing. They aren’t running yet it seems, he muses when crawling after her, she seems to want him to first familiarize himself with the movement of going left and right with each pole, always looking backwards to see his movements and know he isn’t skipping one of the poles as he feels tempted to doing, should she look away long enough to do so without getting reprimanded for it that is. The empty food bowl she brought along is a sure sign that she did bring along some kind of food reward if he does well enough, and he’d rather not risk out on losing some of the food he is sure she has with her.

When he reaches the end of the path, she stops and turns, passing him by slowly as she pets his body. ‘You’re doing good Sev, let’s go a little bit faster again.’ His antennae press almost automatically behind his head at that statement, but he is not surprised by her wanting him to do that. It has so far always been that way, going slow, and then wanting things done faster. Turning to face the poles, he sees her run left and right to avoid colliding with the pole each time, heading to the finish line in a quick manner, not looking back. Fluttering his wings to relieve tension, if only for a moment, he follows after her. Turning his body in the same directions she did, just tighter as the gap between the poles isn’t as big for him compared to her. He can tell just from watching her that she can easily flit between them, and still have quite a bit of space left over. At least the only time he did ended up bumping into one of the poles it was just the side of his abdomen when he tried going tighter and not make a large curve around the pole.

At least the only time he did ended up bumping into one of the poles it was just the side of his abdomen when he tried going tighter and not make a large curve around the pole. Wanting to see if that makes going through this course faster, it certainly has the immediate effect of making his caretaker happy when he did as he hears her say something about treats. Encouraging him to try again. “You’re doing great Sev! It’s just twenty-five meters of distance with this course!” He hears her say, trilling back towards her that he heard her, he focuses on moving his legs in just the right way to get that tighter curve, he tightens the muscles in his abdomen to keep it risen up, and feels proud when with the last pole, he passes the thick line his caretaker is behind. Smiling brightly and petting him on the head when he gets closer to her.

“Good job Sev!” He trills softly for a short moment, cutting himself off when she walks away from him, heading to her backpack to take out a packet of- He trills in delight at seeing fresh pieces of meat get thrown in his bowl. ‘Eat up! You did good, now I just need to adjust the poles a bit again, and grabbing some more from another spot.’ He doesn’t question the last part at all. All he cares about is that he gets to eat! Crawling quickly to his food bowl, he munches on his food in delight, the juice of the meat drips down his mandibles and back in the bowl each time he chews, and licks his bowl clean when all the pieces are gone, mourning that it never seems to last as long as he wants. “Sev, you done with your food?” He looks up at hearing her voice, tilting his head to the side as she comes closer to him with each pole she is moving around. He wonders what she wants this time. Crawling back to what seems to be the starting line, he stands more on the left side of the track then the middle as she finishes moving the last one in the ground.

He trills at her as he looks at the poles in the ground, it looks… tighter. Less of a gap in it. Was she trying to see at first how much space he uses to get to this point? It certainly doesn’t look as easy as it did in the beginning. “Great! Let’s give it another try and go faster. Sev, follow!” She waves at him, turns around, and shows exactly like last time how she does it, and just like last time, it goes smoothly. Not a hint of looking like its difficult. ‘C’mon Sev! Follow and go faster!’ There is a hint of a commanding tone in it, urging him to just go along with it. And from his previous meal, he knows it would be worth it. Lifting his abdomen up higher, he curls it just enough to get his balance right, and starts crawling straight for his caretaker that is at the end. ‘Sev! Go right and left!’ He falters as he hears her inside his mind. Right? Left? He pauses for a second, then looks in the direction she is pointing at. He feels stupid for forgetting in his eagerness in wanting food what he should be doing.

Crawling back to the starting line without her saying it he hears her run back to him. He wonders if she is worried about him leaving the room, but that wouldn’t be a thing he could just do, he doesn’t quite know how those handles work. “Follow me Sev.” He hears her say, feeling her stroke his head for a few seconds as he turns around to face the poles. She stands in front of him, watching him to see if he pays attention to her, then grins and moves to the side slightly, tapping his abdomen as he was resting it on the ground. He immediately lifts it, feels ready for a hand touching his stinger carefully. But she doesn’t take a hold of that part of him, so he curls that part of him more for balance, feeling awkward. “Go Sev!” He hears her say, and she starts moving. He follows right after her, and sees her go right, moving between the two first poles in the ground easily. He follows right after, hissing in annoyance as he needs to lower his speed a little to more safely get between it without bumping against the poles too much and loosing his balance. It has definitely become a much tighter gap for him then previously, and takes clever footwork of his own to go left and then right, and repeat the motion of weaving between the poles while keeping his wings pressed tightly against his body to prevent them from being harmed should he bump against the pole with them.

It wasn’t just one circuit she wanted him to do when he finishes his second round, his balance not yet as perfect as he wants when he doesn’t have someone taking some of the weight he has to carry around with him when crawling while his grown form is made for flight, no, she had him do the circuit to the point that he didn’t need to slow down to weave through the poles. The only brakes he got is after five or seven rounds, where he does get his much needed juicy meat treats and water to quench his thirst, then he has to do it all over again. He isn’t able to track time too well, especially not when he gets exhausted, but he can tell as she weaves through the poles with him. She starts to feel it the longer they do it as well. She doesn’t tell him to quit though, not as soon as he likes, rather, she urges him to try and get it done faster. The promise each time for doing a good job being another piece of meat in his bowl when the next break is coming up, it makes his tongue feel slick with all the slime he has to keep holding back inside his mouth. Food is definitely a big motivator for him to try and keep going for however long she needs him to, but likely at the end of it, with his exhaustion starting to creep up? She’ll need to get a cart to bring him home as he doubts he’ll be up to any flying once this is over either.

‘ Just two more days and its starting.’ She couldn’t help but think anxiously as they neared the gym building once more. Sev’s loud zooming of his wings quick fluttering could easily be heard above her as they come closer. It’s only been a few days ago that they where here, having allowed him to rest and make certain he isn’t aching anywhere from the training she had him doing was for the best. He is a lot more cheerful now with the longer rest period, that’s for sure. “Come down here Sev! We need to get inside!” She calls out to him as she approaches the front door of the large building, one that is much larger than what the single doors are like inside of it, though the windows in the building are large enough to see that inside there aren’t too many people relaxing at the tables with their companions. “Triiii!” A short almost shout like trill comes from Sev as he starts landing and she has shift all the poles she carries in her left arm so she could use her right to cover her face in order not to get hit with stray debris from the ground thanks to the gust of wind Sev produces.

“I think your only one of the few capable of accidently throwing debris everywhere with landing just from the way you fly.” She mutters to her companion as she opens the door with her free arm and steps aside. Wanting Sev to go in first as she points with her hand in the direction she wants him to go to and hopefully stay there. Tilting his head to the side in slight curiosity as his antennae twitch, he crawls forwards with his abdomen raised upwards, he knows exactly why they are here and with last time’s session he is quite a bit more interested in it this time as he heads inside while ignoring any of the other beings inside the building, he makes his way towards the wall with a map hanging on it that she stares at quite often when they first get here. Closing the door behind her when she is inside as well, she heads towards the reception desk. “Hello again.” She greets politely back to the Ssashirk receptionist as they greeted her first when coming closer to their desk, handing over an empty fill-out form to her as she picks up an unoccupied pen from the desk, she writes everything down as quickly as she can with one hand. She doesn’t really know what this person’s gender is, the cloths they wear are the same as any of the other staff working in the building so it makes it difficult for her to determine without asking about it. Once she fills in the last question and hands over the paperwork, she heads back towards Sev. Glad he seems to know the best place to stay, she pets him gently on the head as she stares at the schematic of the building, tightening her occupied arm around the poles as she shifts their position just slightly more comfortable.

She traces the path they need to take in order to get to the same part of the building they went into like last time, memorizing it just in case. Her lips quirk up at the feeling of Sev pressing himself closer to her hand as she lightly pets him, the feeling of his antennae twitching when she does it close to his head tickles slightly, she wasn’t certain just how much he can feel with his hard chitin but it is still a comfort for both of them when she does it. “Okay Sev, I think I got it memorized now.” She mutters to him softly, feeling him lift his head at her voice, she drops her hand and steps back. “Follow Sev.” She calls out simple, heading for the door and opening it. She let’s Sev go first as he needs to crawl a bit sideways when he squeezes his abdomen through the opening. She closes the door behind her when they both went through and leads him through the hallway, knowing a bit better on where to go now. She shifts all the poles so its occupying both of her arms more. It might be of light weight, but that doesn’t mean it is exactly comfortable to carry it the whole time.

Feeling much more relaxed than last time when they headed to the room she stuck poles in the ground, he felt like it took no time at all to get there. The walls were interesting enough to look at a second time with all the things shown on it. There was even a small image of his own kind’s larvae being wrapped up in green cloth and doing something on a track. He wasn’t sure what exactly as he had to crawl quickly behind his caretaker in order to let someone else pass them by with a tiny white furred animal clinging on their shoulder, and he had to move on so he won’t be left behind as she walked further. He’s just glad that when they reach the door, and he squeezes inside first, that the room is unoccupied this time. Crawling confidently to the track they used last time, he takes his spot. He knows what is expected of him, or at least has more of a idea on what to do compared to before.
