Match 8

[mathisradical]

Action | Just after school | Rec center

[ Between keeping up with school, trying not to get bitten by zombies, fighting the zombies, and Marui being permanently droned, Niou really hasn't had much time to relax. But the moment he gets it, he decides to go straight to the tennis courts. Tennis really is relaxing for him, especially when it's just a rally against the wall.

Despite the fact that he's tired as fuck, he'll keep up his usual snark and wit if you talk to him. ]

[ Niou turns and grins a more muted version of his razor-like grin. ] Yo. Glad to see you're not dead after all those fuckin' zombies.

[Crowe leans against the fence of the court, threading his fingers through it. He smiles halfheartedly.] Not sure how, but yeah, I made it. You too then?

[ Niou bounces a tennis ball against the court. ] Still livin' and breathin'. [ His grin softens into a smirk. ] Back at home, I used to think zombie apocalypses would be fuckin' sweet. Now I feel like I'm eatin' my words.

I guess if you see enough movies about it, you think, "I can handle them." But that's not the case...

[He lets out a shaky sigh.] I'm glad it's over. That was a rough few days.

[ Niou nods, completely in agreement on his end. ]

Iunno about you, but when shit goes down, tennis is a nice stress reliever. [ He holds out his racket. ] Too busy for a rally?

[ A nice stress reliever, and it'll help him forget about Marui being permanently droned. ]

I was coming here to do something anyway. Tennis sounds good.

[He'll come on in, and grab himself a racket.] I've been practicing a bit, but I doubt I'm much of a challenge, yet.

[mathisradical.livejournal.com]

Dude, I've been playin' against a wall for nearly an hour. I'm sure you'll be more of a challenge than it.

[ He crosses over the court to grab another racket from a bench before taking his place at one end of the court. ]

You wanna serve, or do you want me to?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Well I hope so.

I've been practicing, so I'd like to try.

[He serves pretty well! Crowe's got some surprisngly strong arms on him.]

[ Niou seems pleased! He lets out a low whistle as he hits it back. ]

You're better than you were last time.

[ Oh look, Niou's praising somebody who isn't a pretty girl! ]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Then he must be doing very well! Crowe grins.] Thanks. Good to know the practice is paying off.

Just don't start slackin'. It's the death of all tennis players.
