Johanna.

Good. I'll meet you in the training hall.

-Right.

[She's idly hanging out in the training hall, axe in its holster at her hip. The chances of her needing to use it are unlikely at best, and if this guy is as strong as she says, she has her doubts it'd do her much good, but survival is her top priority.

Johanna browses through the training equipment, looking to see what she can use to gauge this guy's strength as she waits.]

[It doesn't take him long to show up in the training hall, his posture stiff, stride precise and strong. Upon entering he adjusts his cracked black shades and looks about the room with an inquisitive expression.]

[Johanna stops what she's doing the moment she notices someone entering the Training Hall, her eyes fixed on his more glaring physical features. Namely, his horns and gray skin. It takes some reminding that not everyone here is a mutt, nor a Capitol lapdog just because they look different.

She waits a few minutes to see if anyone else shows up before approaching.]

Equius, right?

[Another human, right. At least she appears to be one. Alien, he'll just go with alien. Equius purses his lips, pulling in a deep breath, his arms crosses tight infront of his chest.]

Then Johanna, I guess?

[She nods her head, giving him a once over.]

You look young for a... whatever the hell you are.

[Always with the rudeness, Johanna. In any case, she indicates the weights along the wall.]

Think you can pick those up?

I am just over 6 sweeps old.

[That's not ruse, he doesn't find that rude. Seems like she is merely being observent.]

Also I'm a troll, get it right- Hm? [he glances to the weights.] Yes of course.

[And he'll just go do that right now. He lifts them so well he almost misjudges it completely and flings them upwards.]

Like that means anything to me.

[Different cultures, different planets and a less than standard education system kind of get in the way of understanding him. It doesn't matter, though. She knows that just because someone is young doesn't mean they should be underestimated.

Johanna's lip curls at the correction.]

Mutt, troll, elf. Only difference is you aren't trying to kill me yet. [Good job, Johanna, mouthing off without thinking. But she watches his display with a lifted eyebrow, letting out a long whistle. She's clearly impressed. Not like she could've done that, even when she was in better shape.]

We need to get you something heavier.

It's around... 13 or 14 of your earth years. [A scowl, adjusting his shoulders a little.]

Yes, of course we do, I could have told you that. And no. [A growl, moving a strand of hair out of his face.]

Troll. I'm a troll. I am hardly a mutt of any kind.

Than why didn't you? [She doesn't like wasting time, it seems.] Do you have any idea what your threshold is?

It doesn't mean what you think it means. [But it's still an insult, and she's not exactly apologizing... Sorry, Equius. ):]

I'm not sure. I can crumple large architectural structures rather easily though.

[A scoff, giving her a scowl.]

[The blank look she gives him says it all, really.] Very nonspecific of you.

[She doesn't really react towards the scowl however, just starts to leave and beckons him to follow.] If you're going to make any progress you need to find something you can't lift.

[He follows, though reluctantly. This girl definitely has some sass, now doesn't she?]

All right. What do suggest then. I doubt I can lift an entire hive at least.
