downtime. honest. [open]

[battorch]

In light of his injuries, Tim hadn't been doing as much work as he honestly would have liked to-- he was supposed to be taking it easy while he finished healing, and thus had spent more time around as himself, as opposed to as Red Robin.

Of course, he still had a lot of on his mind. Even without that taken into consideration, he wasn't a fan of idling. He'd spent a fair amount of time as 'Tim', at least, but beyond that-- well, if his work was being limited (though he could work on his own private things, as well), at least he still had training. He considered it physical therapy.

He had to be careful of course-- he was already probably moving himself too much-- but exercising was still important, after all. Even if it was lighter than he would normally allow himself. At least he was being sensible about it.

((ooc: Because of his injuries, Tim Drake is going to be around more than usual! While Red Robin is still in his usual haunts-- working with Engineering, Programming, Neuropathy, Security...--and with a decent amount of training mixed in. So feel free to run into him anywhere, as either, though those are the most likely places. c: ))

"Fair enough," Tim replied, letting out a noise kind of like a laugh, though he didn't really pause in his exercise either. Though having spared her a glance, he did notice the floating. Which just helped form the theory in his head. "More of a magic user, I take it?" he asked.

[iceiceprincess]

"Well, duh." She said with an irritated sigh, as if the other had just pointed out the most obvious thing, as she brushed her hair away. "I mean, why else would I be floating and wearing a fluffy dress?"

Pram, the master of having a decent conversation.

[battorch]

"The former is kind of why I figured," he replied easily. Tim wasn't going to let himself get annoyed at some girl being snippy. He also wasn't going to bother touching the 'fluffy dress' logic, either. "So what interests you about this?" he asked, genuinely curious. He wasn't going to chase her away from watching him train-- just as he wasn't going to interrupt his training-- but he wondered.

[iceiceprincess]

"Nothing, really, but," Pram said with a wave of her hand, "what's so great spending so much time into working out?"

It was curious to know why some people would be willing to put so much time and effort for something so small like that.

[battorch]

Tim let out an amused noise, not quite a laugh, at that, pausing for a moment in his training to look more directly at her for a second. "Personally? Keeping myself in shape and my skills sharp," he said. "Not to mention general improvement. It's a necessary thing, as much as anything else-- and it's good for the mind, as well." Exercise helped him think.

[iceiceprincess]

"So doing the same thing for a thousand times keeps your mind sharp?" Pram asked, a brow raised, arms folded across her chest to emphasize she wasn't buying it.

[battorch]

"Not exactly," he said. "Though the more it becomes instinct and the less it's distracting, conscious though, the better. Allows for better adaptation." He returned to the practised movements. "But it also allows blood to flow faster, bringing more oxygen to the brain, which can help, if you're not too distracted by it. And the different type of focus can promote a different type of thought. It gets your mind working."

[iceiceprincess]

"Hmph." That was all Pram said in response as she fell silent. It felt stupid for her, but a small part of her considered about it if she really did want to get her mana power back. It was worth a try, but it felt like she was belittling herself. Her high pride got in the way.

After a few minutes of silence she spoke again: "It's still stupid and gross."

[battorch]

Tim let her think that over, as she seemed to be, while he continued his own training. Clearly she had something on her mind, or else she probably wouldn't even be bothering with him at all, based on what he could gather of her personality.

He smirked to himself a little when she finally spoke up again. "I suppose it can be. But to each their own. You're still welcome to join me if you ever changed your mind."

[iceiceprincess]

"What part of 'stupid and gross' makes it sound like I'm going to do this stupid training?!" Pram snapped, getting frustrated with the situation. While she liked to poke into other people's business, she never liked being done the other way around, especially then they manage to pick out what she's exactly thinking. If she knew any better, things may have ended calmly, at least for her side, if she would just walk away sooner...

She gave a frustrated sigh as she brushed her hair away from her face. "Well whatever. Have fun with your stupid training."

With that said, she finally decided it was time to take her leave, and disappeared into thin air after a series of light blue light appeared. Overlords always make sure to have a flashy entrance...or exit, in this case.
