“Oh now if you’re going to make excuses you’ll never learn to defend yourself that requires rhythm too. Not much different from dancing any of it is.” She placed both hands on her knees. “Sure no dancing games, but keep doing what you are doing, add some stretching. Pace yourself, no reason to be killing your self trying to push harder than your comfortable doing. Can you stand? I’m Rhona, Rhona Hall.” She extended a hand to help Gidget.
The excuses were something she didn’t look highly upon.

She groaned, standing to her full (tiny) height without Rhona's assistance. She might be weak, but she was damn stubborn. She looked at the woman, crossing her arms, and nodded, her breathing slowing.
She looked the woman over, wondering if she should give her her name. It wasn't something she handed out freely. Meshing her teeth slightly, she sighed, and remembered Christmas.
"Gidget," she said, after her hesitation.

She didn’t accept Rhona’s hand in assistance and greeting. Rhona stood with the girl and folded her arms retracting her hand.
“Nice to meet you Gidget, you doing good now?”

"Better than I was a second ago," she said with a little shrug of her tiny shoulders. She sighed softly, leaning back against the wall. "But at this rate, I'll never catch up to anyone."

“Not with that attitude.” Rhona shrugged seemingly unimpressed with her ambition. “Still strength comes in many forms you aught to find what works for you. Might you won’t be as fast, but maybe you can be more agile. Do some research and set believable goals. The image you have in your might might be a far off dream right now but maybe making it to the end of the street in a full sprint might be enough for the time.”

Gidget looked back towards the apartments, contemplating what Rhona had said. She reached up and ran a hand through her hair. It was strange... A month ago, she would have never thought she'd be up before dawn running through the streets like a madman.
She pulled her hand down from her hair and stared at it.
"Are you a Meta?" she asked, rather bluntly.

Rhona might have taken too long a moment to answer Gidget. That was a difficult thing to answer for her yet. At least there was no way to give a simple answer.
“Not at the moment.”

"What does that even mean?" She asked, obviously confused, as she stared at the woman. Was this some weirdo with dreams of becoming a Meta?

“It means I was one until the day the apartments opened up and something happened that I lost my Meta abilities.” She answered honestly, bluntly, and lowered her eyes shamefully.

"That's.... gotta suck?"
Gidget really had no idea how Meta abilities worked, or how important they were to people. It was possible that it was a good thing, but looking at Rhona and the way she wouldn't meet her gaze... she assumed not.

“I was the only one who met that fate and the attacks from the riot were controlled. I had them where I wanted them... away from anyone else. I can hope the gods of my home saw me and were proud.” She shrugged. “It’s a risk we all take as soldiers, I was willing to risk my life, I got off easy.” A grin crept on her thick lips as she met Gidget’s gaze but it was still an obvious longing in her eyes a kind of lost feeling that ached in Rhona. Something she was having a difficult time coming to terms with.

Gidget tapped her water bottle against her cheek thoughtfully.
"Did something happen to you that didn't happen to anyone else? Like, did you get knocked out or something when no one else did?"

“It was um... these black oozing weapons they chose to wield?” Rhona wasn’t wholly sure. “Like they were some Qi eating substance.”

"Hmmm."
Gidget sat there for a moment, studying the woman. She gave a little shrug.
"I can look into it, if you want. See if I can't figure out who they were, or what weapons or whatever. Maybe it'll help, maybe not. But I got some free time."

“If you can do that then certainly. I’ve had no want to find them in the state I’m currently in but I know there are others who are looking for them round the clock. The TSI group for one and I’m sure Xepham of the institute would take comfort in the information.” It wasn’t like the wanted to look for them but she felt it would be best if she got through some personal things first.
