[For the first time in days, Xanxus had actually left his room and went up to the gym on Deck 3. Doing nothing for so long caused him to go a little... crazy, and he's feeling rather destructive today. However, he didn't want to go back to the brig so soon, nor did he want to suffer any other form of punishment, so he went to the gym to see if they had anything he could beat up. Fortunately, they do~

He grabbed all the practice dummies he could find and set them all up. Now, Xanxus is beating the shit out of every one of them, even going as far as to break them with his bare hands. They're pretty damn hard to break, though, but that only makes it more fun. It's proving to be a good way to pass time, and good exercise. Xanxus isn't the type to lift weights or run on a treadmill; that's too boring for him. This is the only way he can exercise.

Now if only there was someone on this boat who would be a decent sparring partner...]

[Still embarrassed about what supposedly happened with Phoenix several days ago, Jak had been keeping to himself ... well, and Daxter's constant ridicule.

But, training in his room had its disadvantages; he needed more space, and more equipment. So, best friend perched on his shoulder, he headed up to the gym to beat the shit out of things for a while. Letting Daxter hop off to entertain himself for a while, Jak paused to watch the other passenger at work for a few moments before making his smartass comment.]

Don't hold back or anything.

[Xanxus stops when he hears the somewhat familiar voice, using his communicator to translate what he just said before glaring in Jak's direction. He's definitely seen this guy before, but he doesn't think too much about it.]

Spar with me.

[He says it like it's a command. He has no idea how strong Jak actually is, but he seems good enough.]

[Oh great, this again. Jak couldn't go two days without putting his fist through something, could he? Whatever happened to that sweet little boy that would share his dessert with Daxter when he got punished? Now his best friend is nothing better than a knuckle-dragging Lurker.

Daxter squirrels his way up to the top of a nearby workout machine and perches on one of the support beams, folding his arms and sitting back on his haunches to watch the proceedings. Maybe he'll heckle, but he's not really in the mood for it right now.]

[Jak quirks an eyebrow. He doesn't understand the words, but he thinks he gets the gist. He tosses his towel aside and rubs his shoulder, then grins.]

Try to keep up.

[Xanxus can tell by the look on the elf's face that he's up for it. The instant he sees that look, he moves in quick, like a carnivore going for its dinner, and aims to punch Jak right in the face.]

[Jak catches the fist, and reaches over to try and grab Xanxus' shoulder, foot sliding out to try and throw him down to the mats.]

[For a moment, Xanxus was actually pretty close to hitting the floor, but then he fights back, pushing against Jak's chest with a startling amount of strength to try and get the complete opposite to happen.]

Oof!

[Grunting as Xanxus shoves him instead, Jak stumbles back a step, then swings a leg up towards the other man's shoulder.]

[Xanxus instantly grabs Jak's ankle. If he is unable to free himself, then Jak will find himself being swung and thrown into the wall.]

[Not a chance, and Jak hits the wall hard. He growls and drops to a crouch, his frustration clear on his face. He hasn't sparred nearly enough, he's been too focused on training alone. Now he's getting sloppy. He wouldn't stand a chance against Kor like this, hell he'd struggle just getting through a swarm of Stingers right now.

Getting back to his feet, his eyes narrow slightly as he weighs up the situation. But behind all that internal concern and self-berating, there's still something in his eye that says he enjoys the challenge.]

[Even though this was the first time Xanxus ever did any sort of training on the boat, he did kill someone not that long ago, and not to mention he was far newer to the boat than Jak was, so overall, he hadn't gone terribly long without fighting, so he still has most of his fighting edge. Of course, he still misses his guns and his liger...

This time, Xanxus waits for the other man to do something. After a brief moment, he decides to encourage Jak.]

Is that all?

[Even if Jak had no idea what the hell he just said, he should be able to tell by the tone that it's a taunt.]

[That tone is universal, and Jak scowls. It's not even close to all, but he's been too reliant on eco. He can do this without it.

Charging forward, Jak raises a fist in a feint, then ducks his shoulder down at the last minute to slam against Xanxus' ribs. If he's successful, he'll pull back an instant later and stomp the bottom of his boot right where his shoulder had been; not necessarily aiming for breaks, but definitely to wind him and knock him back a bit.

And if stuff gets broken? Ehhhhhhh that's how sparring goes. At least, in Jak's mind.]

[Alright, Jak managed to fool Xanxus there. He stumbles backward a bit and takes a moment to catch his breath. When he does, he charges forward viciously to slam the other man, with his entire body weight, into... something. The wall, the floor, a weight set... Whatever Jak would hit first.]

[Using Xanxus' own weight, Jak falls back and rolls to try and flip him over his head. Now this is getting more fun.]

[Xanxus is flipped over. However, he quickly latches onto Jak and tries to do the same exact thing. And honestly, even he can't deny that he is actually enjoying this.]

[The tug shifts Jak, but not enough to flip him. He scrabbles back to his feet and backs up a bit, giving Xanxus time to get up. If this weren't a friendly fight, he'd have taken advantage of it but, well. He can be charitable if sparring's involved.]

[...Well, Xanxus honestly wasn't expecting the act of generosity, but he takes advantage of it and gets back on his feet.]

Not bad.

[Suddenly, he swings a leg at Jak's, mostly aiming to get him back on the ground.]

[Jak was half-expecting some kind of retaliation, and he springs over the sweeping leg in a spinning move that brings his fist around towards the side of Xanxus' head.]

[Xanxus quickly grabs Jak's fist before it can collide with his head and tries to flip him over and slam him into the ground.]

Wow, this was a as a matter of fact worth post. In theory I' d like to eradicate like this too - fascinating heyday and true attainment to forge a tickety-boo article... but what can I say... I hesitate alot and in no nature show up to wheedle something done.
