Rahyne had left his flat at an ungodly hour to be at the small gym just as it opened so he'd be able to work out and get a few lessons in before work. Leaning against the wall near the door he had smiled at the owner and laughed when he was told he was crazy. "Aye, but I'm yer best client," he shot back as he was let in, laughing at the words he was almost postitive were not nice in Welsh. Having changed Rayhne spent a good five minutes warming up and stretching before taking on the punching bags and the few kids who swung in before school. He'd only let the older ones spar with him, though some of the young ones could kick his ass if they really tried. but they'd left for school an hour ago and glancing at the clock he smiled. he had an hour and a half to go so he settled down and decided to let out a little frustration left over from all that paper work. Whaling on the dummy he spun and kicked it, switching from traditional boxing to kick boxing. his arm and hand were back and he'd been cleared to head back out with Michael, hating the fact that he'd been desk bound til he was healed. Kicking up he nailed the dummy's chin and grinned when a piece of the hardish foam came off. arm muscles jumping he kept pounding it til someone distracted him midswing...

As much as Jenny was enjoying just wandering aimlessly around this planet, this city, to be exact, she soon did realise that she may actually have to have an aim in mind, rather than just being a tourist. Or, at least, find something to keep herself occupied, seeing as so far, she’d met no one who she could enjoy kicking their asses.
Or shooting them. But, that wasn’t good. So, not shooting them.
Another thing she had discovered about this world was that there were whole buildings, just for training. Imagine! She hadn’t actually done any proper training before, not really. She’d been content with just being a tourist. But, seeing as she had nothing else to do, she felt she might as well stay in shape.
She wandered, almost dreamily into one of these buildings, and dropped a load of change on the counter, looking around with a smile on her face. And then simply left, to wander around the building to find her own way, not bothering if that wasn’t liked in a place like this.
The room she came across was pretty much what she had been looking for. Apart from the fact that it was already taken, with someone seeming intent on beating two shits out of a dummy. Which, in her own mind, Jenny couldn’t help think to be pointless. So she wandered over, watching with an interested expression, before swiping out with one leg in a kick, taking his feet out from beneath him.
Which, in all honestly, may have been a bit of a distraction.

As his feet seemingly shot out from under him he braced for impact, rolling over onto his back, not wanting to risk reinjuring his hand or arm. That would suck, alot.
Looking up at the blonde he sighed and grinned, "there are other ways of gettin' me attention lass. A simple "Hello" would have sufficed.." he chuckled, rolling up.
"But I take it ye would like tae fight?"

"But where would be the fun in that?" Jenny asks innocently, before grinning, "But fine. Hello. I'm Jenny. Pleased to meet you. And yes, fighting would be nice. Unless you'd rather continuing beating up something which can't fight back?"
She raises an eyebrow, buncing slightly on the balls of her feet, trying not to giggle. That would just be childish, and Jenny didn't want to see childish. Seeming childish would make it so that he didn't think she was being serious.

Nodding he sized her up and motioned. "C'mon, lets get you some gear an' well hop into the ring," he nodded with his head and called for a set of gloves and head gear.
As the owner handed them to her, he smiled and asked Rahyne who his new friend was. Shrugging he introduced himself, "I'm Rahyne hanrahan. That's Todd."

Jenny held up one of the gloves between a forefinger and thumb, prodding it slightly with her other hand. And then shrugs slightly, following him. Juts because she didn't exactly recognise the fighting equipment didn't mean she was going to back down when she had said she wanted to fight. For all she knew, this could be the proper form of fighting on this planet. In a...ring.
Right.
Well, she thought, as she put the head gear on (after only a tiny bit of confusion, involving attempting to put the gloves on first), this is going to be entertaining. The guy was bigger than her, after all, but size didn't count. Hopefully.
"Nice ta meet ya Rahyne." she says in a chirpy voice, playing up the 'I'm-a-little-girl' act. "And you Todd. I've already told you I'm Jenny. How do you do?"

Todd laughed and came out, bringing the other few morning go'ers with him as Rahyne and this jenny woman climbed into the ring.
"I'm all right. Ye miss Jenny?" he asked, loosening his shoulders a bit and smiling. Oh he wasn't letting his guard down once, she had that trained fighter look to her and this was going to be a helluva fight..

Judging by the way they were only wearing gloves, and not other pointless protection things like shin pads, or...boots? Anyway, as they were only wearing the over-sized mittens, Jenny had to concede that they were only allowed to punch. Which ruled out kicking and, well...most other things really. If they were only allowed to punch, did that not mean kneeing? She might get away with using her elbows, perhaps. She'd always found them to come in handy.
She was so busy running through what the actual rules for a fight like this might be, to properly realise he was speaking. But when she did, she blinked, non-plussed. Had he just called her 'Miss Jenny'? That was what it had sounded like.
"Uhh...No?" she guessed, feeling slightly confused. 21st century language. She still hadn't gotten used to it.
Shaking her head quickly, she brought her attention back to the fight, tucking her arms in, watching him with her gloves held halfway in front of her face. But that didn't stop her noticing the others starting to gether round, which only made her grin. She loved an audience.

slightly confused, rahyne tilted his head a bit, hands up. "Ye ready tae start Miss Jenny?" he asked, sparing a glance Todd's way. He shrugged and waved, calling, "No kneeing, no elbows, just clean boxing! and fight!" he called ringing the bell, rahyne moving up to tap gloves with her.

Jenny couldn't help but groan slightly at the man called Todd's words, but quickly shrugged them off. Boxing...What amazing rules it had...But no point thinking about things she couldn't do then.
"Bring it, Rayne," she says with a grin.
She mimicked Rayne's steps and movements, tapping gloves, before darting one gloves hand up to attempt to catch him out. She doesn't wait to see if it hit, but bounces backwards on the balls of her feet, watching him carefully through slightly narrowed eyes.

Rahyne smiled and dodged her first blow easily sticking to strickly defensive till he spotted a pattern or lack there of. If there was one he'd use it to his advantage and if not, well then he'd just deal with it.
but he made sure to never get backed into a corner, he stayed out in the middle of the ring. getting cornered was bad.
the gathered group of men and women were placing bets and giving them to todd on who would win and who would loose. it seemed the lady was favored more than their boy.
"aye, feel so loved here," he called, hearing todd complain that they should be more supportive. A few of the ladies gave him a cheer but did little to help him.

Jenny couldn't stop grinning as she heard the bets being placed. The fact that they seemed to be backing her just made her more determind to win. She liked winning. A solider always likes winning though, if she was honest. Even in fights with gloves being worn.
"Appears that they all have great taste, don't you think?" she says cheekily, winking at the taller, older man.
She continues to bounce on the balls of her feet, circling the man with a grin on her face, waiting for a strike from him. But, when it doesn't come, quite simply, she got bored. Jenny always found she got bored rather easily, and this match was no different.
She darts forward, suddenly laying blow after blow wherever she could. And as quickly as she could. Seeing as she didn't have a clue about the rules, or the tactics, or how to do it at all, she felt the safest option would just be continued force. Until she could come up with a better idea, that was.

new to this apparently rahyne thought as he managed to block almost all of her blows, getting one hard one to her stomach and another to her head in, wondering if maybe he should lighten up a bit. he didn't want to hurt her after all, but she seemed determined to keep going so he used a slight trick and switched from defensive to offensive, managing to back her into a corner.
Todd rang the bell and called break, and Rahyne backed off a bit and let her out of the corner before starting right back on her again.
she was fast and younger, but he'd been doing this a lot longer. "Aye, they may have good taste, but they don't seem tae know me well," he grit out as he cornered her again, they were what on their third round?
"Todd! time!" he called, not wanting to be late for work, that'd probably piss michael off.
"You got fourty five minutes!"
Nodding Rahyne smiled, "I may have tae cut this short Miss Jenny. I have tae be at work in fourty five minutes.."

The first time Jenny was backed into a corner, she got slightly annoyed. By the second, she realised that being in a corner was a place that you weren't meant to go in. Looking at it like that, she could sort of realise why, seeing as you could move around more when you were in the center. So that's why she pressed forward on their thrid bout, not wanting to be in a corner again.
And she realised why they were wearing gloves. Even with them, the punches still hurt. Not as bad as being shot, or a borken limb, of course, but still quite sore. Plus it was tiring, she had realised quite quickly. More tiring that she had thought.
But she couldn't deny that it was a good workout.
"And you think they know me?" she enquires, almost polietly, before breaking through his defences, and punching him at the base of his jaw. Return for punching her in the stomach. That had hurt more than the head blow. "I'm new around here, sunshine."
She grins cheekily, before punching him again in the stomach, mimicking what he had done earlier, before bouncing backwards. Then pouting, "Aw, really Rahyne?" she sighs slightly, "All the interesting guys have to work. Boring old work."

wincing at the blows he did a little footwork and managed to get her not cornered but close to the ropes and gave her three good hits before he heard teh bell and Todd call, "Twenty mintues Copper!"
Sighing he bowed his head and looked at Jenny, "Really sorry Miss Jenny...Twenty minutes til i have tae check in at work..Me partner'll get..well...probably he'll just be quiet and smile at me, but I digress. the lt. doesn't like us being late..sorry.."
