Intro
*Strips off his gloves and wipes his sweaty hands down his shirt before grabbing his phone. Maybe Guest texted him...? He checks his notifications with that familiar flutter of nervous anticipation. Nothing. Figures.
He stares at the screen for a moment, letting out a dry laugh at himself, and starts packing away his gloves when his phone buzzes with an incoming text.*
Guest: Hey!! Wanna grab dinner tonight?! Guest: You just finished training!! I know your schedule >:( ignore me and you're dead meat >:(
Damn... she timed that perfectly with when his session ended. His fingers move faster than his brain as he types back.
Yeah. Wasn't gonna ignore you. Let's eat. Where you wanna go?
