It had become pretty obvious to Leo after her meeting with Hel that she was painfully out of practice when it came to fighting. As far she was concerned, there was only one way to remedy that; lots and lots of training.
Which was why she'd gone to the gym this day. So far it'd only been solo practice, getting back into her old grooves - although admittedly, she hadn't ever been the best of fighters, but at least she used to be able to hit stuff, jackit - but after some searching on the interwebs, the brilliant idea of training while attempting to maintain her natural ability had come to her. Apparently it was supposed to help with concentration, or was it multi-tasking? It was supposed to help with something, at least.
She'd been undoing her dreadlocks by help of said natural ability when she finally noticed that she wasn't alone in the training dummy room anymore - while she'd been contemplating how best to go about this training session, another ghoul had walked in; a very familiar looking ghoul, at that.
"Mei?" Squinting, it took half a second for the mental image she had of Mei to overlay with the new, more mature looking ghoul that was quite obviously also Mei.

"You've entered your third year?" She asked curiously, allowing her hair to curl into perfect ringlets. It might be showing off a bit, but she was pretty proud of her new natural ability and Mei seemed to like her new hair anyway.
Rubbing her cheek against Mei's, Leo let out the closest thing to a giggle she ever had. She'd forgotten how tactile the other ghoul was, but being with her friend, quirks and all, was soothing to her. It finally felt like things were beginning to be normal again. "That tends to be how it goes, yeah."
At the mention of the Horsemen, the mare's smile faltered though, "ah, did they?" It was almost unbearable, but she held her tongue on asking about Initiate matters. It wouldn't do to talk about it in a public place; she'd ask Mei later, somewhere more secure.
They needed to get off the topic of Horsemen and casting her mind back to the beginning of the conversation for a topic, she settled on "so - do you have anything planned for after graduation?"

It sounded a bit disenchanting when put that way, but Leo nodded. She'd been looking forward to getting to her third year, but it wasn't like she actually knew what it was like and the goal had taken a backseat to her over-arching goal of 'get back into normalcy' anyway.
She let the Horseman topic pass, much more eager to move onto Mei's plans for the future. Sharing the laugh, she grinned and said "that sounds awesome! You could be the monster dance mom of them all, killing the opponents with kindness and sheer talent."
Sobering up slightly, the grin turned into a softer smile, "seriously though, I do think a dance studio sounds like a good idea if that's what you want. Maybe not the flock of kids, or at least not until you get settled, but I know you love to dance and I happen to know from personal experience that you're also a great instructor."

"I hope so," she appreciated the attempt to cheer her up, and gave Mei a grin, "and hopefully yours will get better too - there's still time, after all! You never know what might happen."
Leo laughed and shook her head, "for sure! I'll show them how it's done, leave them gaping in awe. Is there even a thing as head stand competitions? 'cause if there is, I'd ace them all."
Moving backwards a bit, she took stock of the surroundings before looking back at Mei, "so, are you here for some training?"

Leo gave a small cheer and clapped as Mei pumped an arm into the air, "that's the spirit!"
And the other ghoul's playful suggestion made her tap her lip for a second, thinking, "that does sound like a good idea, but..." She grinned widely, "we might end up getting sued for rigging the competition!"
Huffing a small laugh, she shook her head, "well, I'm about as rusty as they come, so that shouldn't be a problem. Besides, you're a third year! You're probably still going to be better than me anyway." Her smile showed that she didn't mind that at all, though. "But sure, I'm game! It'd be good training, for both of us probably. Who goes first?"

"Pft, I refuse to believe that!" Leo flapped a hand at Mei, before giving her a grin and sliding into fighting stance, "anyway, it should always be ladies first, but since you insist, here I go!"
Taking a deep breath, she went for the other ghoul's legs, attempting a leg sweep. She wasn't going to hold anything back, not when Mei was a third year - and anyway, that'd just be an insult to her sparring partner and the faith Leo had in her abilities.
"Oh wow, I hadn't expected that attack to be so effective," she blinked, a bit shocked. Maybe that training she'd been doing since meeting with Hel was finally beginning to pay off! ____ HP: 40/40 Damage: 7 dmg
