-=/\=- LtJg. Quiocho's Quarters -=/\=- MaiKai was already awake, surprisingly, and out of bed! If you knew her well, you would think she was sick or something. The mornings ... the grogginess ... just anything about the mornings she hated. Mai had a nightmare about something that had happened awhile back when she was on Chimera, but took place back at home. She had tried to go back to sleep, but managed not to do so. She had already gotten under her bed to get the boxing gloves and mouth guard. Now, she was know full-forcefully hitting the bag, that was hanging from her ceiling. Every once and a while, MaiKai would add a few side kicks or round house kicks to her hard-core workout. Her face said it all: "I'm pissed off ... Don't touch me!", but she really wasn't that angry at all. She found this all ... relaxing. Kaine, the big pitbull, had by now arose from where he was slumped, this way and that, over the bed. He tilted his head up at her, thinking of where he saw a great leather thing like that hanging from the ceiling. Kaine grinned, as big as a dog, could and wagged his tail. Memories of home came into view ... He barked at her. MaiKai looked back and gave him a small wink as she turned around and continued. The door to her room had chimed, for someone was probably at the door. Well, of course she didn't hear it and still stood in her stance and gave the bag some more punches and jabs with all her might. Corporal Stan Pressman of Security just walked through her door as it opened. What he heard from outside didn't sound as quiet or calm as he had hoped it would. Stan smiled and watched the backside of Mai move as she took delicacy in making accurate blows. He took another step forward and tapped her shoulder. Wrong move ... MaiKai, as a reaction, turned and punched Pressman right in the nose. Hearing a sound Kaine leapt off the bed and started looking strangely from Mai to Stan, trying to figure out if he was still ok or should he claw him to death. Seeing who it was, Mai spat out her mouth guard, took off her gloves, and grabbed Stan's arm. "Oh my God! Stan, are you ok? I didn't mean it. You just surprised me ... Oh ..." a little worried MaiKai took a hold of his hands and pulled them away from his face to see how bad she really nailed him. He looked up at her and gave a weak smile, "Remind me never to piss you off." Mai grinned as she found his humor within her to chuckle a bit. "No, seriously ... are you ok?", she asked trying to get some information so she didn't feel too bad. "Yeah, I'm fine. It just kind of hurts ... " his voice trailed off. Feeling a bit awkward, MaiKai spoke up, "So what'd you come down here for?" She looked up at him. Boy, were his eyes a pretty hazel, or what?! "Well, ... I thought you wanted to get your things onto SB Bragg and then I ...well, I ... was going to take you to go get a bite to eat," Stan blushed a little as he looked from the punching bag to Mai's pretty, tan face. MaiKai smiled back at him," Sure ... Why not? Everything's put together including Kaine's things ... I just have to get his leash on." MaiKai now looked over to Kaine who was sitting up on the floor looking at her with his tongue hanging out. She figured he understood that Stan wasn't trying to harm her ... all the commotion was just by accident. "Well, shall we?" Stan motioned over to the door as he grabbed her things that were on the floor by the door. Mai got up and took Kaine's leash off one of the night stands by the bed and hooked it on too his collar. "Yes, we shall." She smiled and they were on their way. -=/\=- End Log -=/\=- LtJg. MaiKai Quiocho AMO USS Chimera & (NPC)Corporal Stan Pressman Security USS Chimera apb: MaiKai
