Jia rolled her eyes "Oh please by now you should know I don't listen when someone tells me what to do," she pointed out. "You should just... accept that."

Bryn just looked at Randy for a long moment "That is... The most weirdly motivating shit anyone has ever said to me," she admitted. She had been lamenting that she'd hit a wall with her personal best time for completing a 100 meter lap in the pool. She wasn't competitive like Randy, her only opponent was herself. Meeting the other at the pool had been honestly perfect, he was becoming a great training partner and an even better friend it seemed. "You're right. I need to climb that fucking spout."

"Thank you for this," she said with a sheepish look at Jordan. "Who knew knife throwing was so dangerous," she tried to quip. Bryn could feel a slight annoyance from them and honestly? Fair.

Rarely did she star gaze at night due to painful reminders, but tonight with the partial clouds and the faint peek of stars she stared.

No telling what her mood was except appearing indifferent for the moment, fingers twined over her abdomen with loose hair flared out several feet behind her in varying directions.
