Pov: Seraphina Angela
"Sei qui! [you're here!]" Leo hollers from the other side of the room when he sees me entering the studio, he's wearing a tight black turtleneck and black sweatpants. His hands are taped in boxing tape & there's a bit of blood on the side of his lip.
He jogs and stops in front of me with a smile, "Did you bump into Zahir by any chance?" he asks and I shake my head, "Nope, why?"
He tilts his hand and looks at me in puzzlement, "He left in search of you and Vince, guess he didn't find you," he states and I shrug. Zahir wasn't here when the blackout happened?
I'm about to be open about my suspicion but I voted against it because Zahir is one of the founding members of the gang and I might simply sound paranoid.
"You're here! Okay, let's get started!" Jacqueline yells out to me and I step aside to see her calling me over to where she's standing, "One minute!" I reply and she flashes me a thumbs up.
I look back at Leo and raise my hand up to cup his jaw carefully, he keeps his eyes on me and doesn't dare to flinch as I use my thumb to wipe away the blood from the corner of his lip.
I smile at him and watch him smirk, "Were you boxing or?" I question, and he lets out a breath he was holding while his hand latches onto my wrist, he wipes the blood off my finger and then onto his clothes.
"Yes, a man's got to have more than one hobby," he says with a wink and moves out of my way, I grin at his cockiness and make my way toward Jacqueline.
"Hey there pretty girl!" I call out to her and watch her drop her arrow to the ground and gently place her bow leaning against the table.
She smiles and pulls me into a small hug, physical touch hasn't always been my strength when it comes to emotion-related things but I do love it because I don't get a lot of it.
"What do you want to start with? We have daggers, guns, a boxing ring, archery, torture & interrogation practice," she lists everything down and asks me about my forte.
I smirk and look down at my heels, "I use all that but my forte is- have you ever heard of dance fighting? Capoeira?" I ask her.
She smirks, "I've heard tales about the infamous Ruby Cadillac using dance fighting, is it actually true?"
I pick up the dagger from the table and run my finger along the cold blade, I stop when the tip of my finger reaches the sharp end of the blade, "They're true, but you'll need to see me using it while I'm on a mission or under attack."
"You can't show me now?" she questions and I lower the dagger, "I'll need two victims running low on the will to live and some music," I tell her.
She breaks into a fit of laughter, "Oh I am damn disappointed in myself now, we usually keep captives for the new recruits and their tests but I killed the last of them a few days ago. So we might as well go with the usual tests."
