Gilgamesh had been spending all day getting ready for a run today. It was noon, he walked into the middle of the road..
Oh yeah.. This was the shit!
He was now on the other side of street, he cracked his neck and ran down the street, he jumped onto a ladder and started to climb it, He climbed and got to the middle of the building, it was big.. He looked on one side and jumped onto a small ledge and got to anotehr ladder that he climbed and got up to the top.
He was now on the roof and he cracked his neck and started to bounce on the spot, getting himself pumped for more free running.. Oh yeah... free running.

Matrim was at the top of the building Gilgamesh had climbed. He didn't know anything about this free running business, he just liked climbing shit and meditating at high altitudes. It's just how he was, and recently he found that he was a little bit better at surviving falls from them without much injury. The good thing about this now was that he was able to go higher, and with higher became more solitude, more silence, and a nicer breeze.
Matrim looked over at the guy and smiled, "Hey... didn't I send you over a roof top once?" Matrim said with that smile still there. He had no intention of fighting, or hurting this kid. If he wanted to fight Matrim, Matrim would fight back but he wouldn't do anything to the kid past self defense and making sure he won the fight. Because the fact was that Matrim didn't want to hurt this kid, "Gilgamesh right?" He said remembering he had seen the guy elsewhere by the water once.
"What are you doing up this high man?"

Gilgamesh had his hands on his knees and looked at this man....
Who wa-...
MATT!!!!
He looked at him again.
"Yeah, it's Gilgamesh.. And you're Matt, right?" That's what he told him, so that what he said.
He coughed abit, he landed pretty hard when he hit the ladder. He shook it off and looked at him
"Well, I was in the mood for running, so i decided to do abit of free running and ended up.. Well here."
He scratched the back of his head and laughed abit. He looked at Matt again. He looked over the edge.
"Plus, it's nice to get away from all the people, eh?" He looked over the edge again.
"by the way.. Don't throw me off again.. It kinda hurt.." He laughed and looked back at Matt. "What brings you up here?"

"By the way.. Don't throw me off again.. It kinda hurt.. What brings you up here?" Gilgamesh said, and Matrim decided it was time to give this guy a nickname. He didn't know what yet, but he would think of something. Maybe... oh that was good, that was amazingly good... yes that would work. Even if the kid didn't like it, Matrim knew what he'd refer to and call this guy.
"Well, Gilligan," He said, smiling at the guy, "Just a bit of meditating... you said you were free running? I thought running was free, do you have to have some special paperwork or something to make running free?" Matrim suddenly got a Coheed and Cambria song stuck in his head as he pondered what the kid had meant, "Or is there something more to it than that?"
I wouldn't throw him off, not again anyway. That was... a special case. Got that sudden urge to do it. Not to mention I've taken a fall off of the roof once too. A couple falls in fact....
Matrim's mind remembered the time he jumped off the roof with Marquise.
And then the time he was punted over the entire school building itself by Leon.
And then one case which nobody saw thankfully where he napped on the ledge and rolled over, waking up in a thorny bush.
Ouchies...
He looked over at the newly dubbed Gilligan for an answer.

Gilgamesh shrugged.
"Free running is just.. It's hard to explain but you are one funny guy.."
HE laughed abit and looked at him. Matt.. He shit stomped him already.. Almost put him in the hospital..
"Hey Matt? Arn't you the strongest kid in school?" He asked stupidly... Other than Leon... That was a scary thing to think of, he remembered watching Leon fight EVERYTHING on his own.. Leon and Matt and Gabe were amazing.. To watch them fight was a learning experience.. That was a good think though.
Though.. He wanted to Train with Matt.. It might show something that could make Gil strong enough to beat someone..

"Hey Matt? Arn't you the strongest kid in school?"Must.... refrain... ego... from... exploding!"I uhhh," He wasn't sure what to say to that, "I hope not? I'm the School Captain and while there are people I haven't beaten, I don't know of anyone who's power completely overshadows mine except for Leon... so I'm one of the strongest maybe but... I don't know if I'd call myself the strongest for fear it'll ruin my Karma and tomorrow I'll go in and get my ass kicked by a freshman transfer or something like that." There that's an answer that both satisfies giving him reason to think something like that while discouraging him from actually claiming that I am the strongest, or saying that I claimed it..."Not that I mind," Matrim said, "There's no fun in being the strongest. Why do you ask?"

Gilgamesh sighed abit.
"I have a dream, I want to one day be able to beat Gabriel.." He sighed bit and looked at his hands.
"But I'm not strong enough to do it." He looked at Matt.
He wanted to be able to train with the man, in hopes to get stronger and beat his own friend. That is what he wanted.
He listened to his answer well.. It was good.. too good..
He wouldn't have thought that Matt, would have any time to train Gilgamesh, he looked over the edge of the building. He gulped.. that's one HUGE fall. If Gil fell, he would die.

"I have a dream, I want to one day be able to beat Gabriel.. But I'm not strong enough to do it." He said and Matrim laughed at the idea, his head tilted back as his eyes searched the sky as if looking for the correct answer to give the boy, his grin going from ear to ear as he thought about the concept of teaching someone to beat Gabriel, oh yes, this would definitely be interesting enough to keep Matrim around.
"Strength alone won't beat Gabriel," Matrim said finally closing his eyes for a second and lowering his head to return a gaze to Gilligan, "Beating Gabriel is a fine art, it takes skill, it takes knowledge, and more than that it takes a plan. If you want to beat Gabriel in a straight on fight, an honest fight, chances are you are going to lose no matter what. Not to say you have to trick him, but rather you have to understand your opponent in order to beat them. You have to know their Achilles heel."
He would stand up and say, "If I told you right now that you could easily beat me, like that," He snapped his fingers to accentuate the point, "You'd think I was crazy, but trust me, it's mostly true. Potentially someone could. So, you know Gabriel, I know Gabriel. You get to know someone better by fighting them, by seriously fighting them on even turns which means you'll get stronger, you'll fight him, and then once you start to get close you'll start to see him for what he truly is. Not saying that's a bad thing, it could be a good thing. For me and him it used to be horrible, but recently I'm not so sure."
He'd walk over to the edge and look down whistling as he did, "Don't worry I won't repeat the whole rooftop drop thing," And then he'd go on, "So think about what you know about him so far. What do you know about all of your enemies, the trick is to observe them. I know it's hard when you fight somebody, but you have to observe them as you do. Don't just think of their actions as simple, think of them as meaning something. For instance...."
He'd back away, "Come at me, fight me and I guarantee you I'll be able to tell you more about yourself than if I had interviewed you for a full hour."
He'd wave him on, "Don't worry I won't strike back during this exercise, only block or dodge. And neither of us will take a fall unless I'm the one who takes the hard landing."

He looked at his hands.. Gabe was a strong man.. he was powerful, he was....
He shook his head and looked at Matt.
"You just want me to beat you down?" He was confused abit.. What was his real intentions?
Gilgamesh would never find out, he shook his hands a bit and pulled his hands back a bit, he took 3 steps and turned on the last step, bringing his fist up for a shoulder to Matt's left shoulder and then a back fist to his nose, when and or if this was blocked he would back off a step and turn face to face to Matt and would send 3 punchs, left right left and Matt, all 3 to the chest.
Gilgamesh found what Matt said weird... Strength isn't what I need?

"You just want me to beat you down?"
"I want you to try." He said, waiting for the guy to start. Three punches came, first a left, Mat turned to his right and leaned his body back, and then reversed the motion to dodge the second punch, and then his right arm came up to intercept the last punch. Getting a feel for the speed this kid was capable of as well as how hard his punches hit. Pretty decent all things considered. Mat then said, "Don't fight me like this," He would say, "Are you holding back? Fight me like you would Gabriel if you wanted to win!"
Mat would jump to the side to distance himself and Gilgamesh once more, making sure he wasn't near any ledge so they would be safe to do so. It was clear that this kid wanted to fight Gabriel in a respected battle, from his initial attack it seemed this kid was honorable, which gave him one weakness, he wouldn't expect the use of dirty tactics from someone he trusted and thought to be honorable. At least, that's was the initial reaction, if the kid started using dirty tactics Mat would probably dismiss the idea.
This kid probably needs to redefine the definition of strength....
