Open Post: La savate et le chausson

Much to his satisfaction, Grantaire has been able to keep up with many of his hobbies unabated during his time at the mansion. Not all of them, though, mostly because they were ones he'd go to specific spots for, and with those spots not being here in addition to an abundance of his other hobbies, they more or less fell by the wayside.

However, a recent chat with Dionysus has reminded him that he has very much neglected his 'hitting things' level. Although he didn't find a crash test dummy, the thought being on his mind ended up in him stumbling upon a small gym tucked away, complete with some equipment including a standing punching bag.

So he's discarded his waistcoat and cravat over a bench and is practicing his savate1.

1French kickboxing! During R's time it was basically for streetfighting, and just beginning to get formalized, but there are some cool vintage videos on youtube (Here and here) to give the... vibe.

Dionysus laughs. "Let's go then!" He shoves the used bubble wrap back in the closet and shuts the door, then scoops up the rest of the roll.

"Oh no, it's big but it isn't heavy at all." He tosses the whole thing up in the air to prove his point. "I mean, unless you just want to carry it."

"Oh -- yeah. They're not really baskets anymore, they started out that way; but now it's a net with a hole in the bottom. It makes it easier."

Again, Lan Wangji keeps his face smooth and unrevealing, which is a simple feat for him. It couldn't be more obvious that expressing any of his sudden swell of concern would go poorly, and that Grantaire would use those same sands of possibility to dance away from his worry. "You have perfected that art," he finishes.

"Yep." He tosses it up again. "Which is fortunate, because if it was heavy I think I would have left this right where it was."

"It would...definitely interrupt the flow of the game some."

"Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight," he sings off-hand, and then adds, in case any mansion spirits happen to be listening, "Only not really, please, thank you."

"Heel strike," says Kade, and does a serviceable attempt at one.

Of course; perfected was too definitive a word for Grantaire. "As are most arts."
vineleaves: (Well that's what I said)

“Assuming we can find an appropriate hill.” Not one too dangerous, after all, but still fun enough to roll down.

"Mn." Lan Wangji can agree with that much, softer again now and with some relief for it. "And impossible."

"Let's hope we find one, the other option sounds like entirely too much work."
