[ Training. Katie needs more training. She doesn't have the castle here or Lance or Keith or Hunk. There's Shiro, but he seems more wrapped up in some of the mental stuff bouncing around his head and, honestly, she's still coming to grips with some of the... issues he's been going through with. Especially surrounding Sam and Aoba and the way that his symbiote ability seems to be working. It feels a touch safer to talk to Misato. Or at least find a better way to exert herself.

There had been physical PT at the Garrison. So what harm could come from asking Misato to help her stay in shape? The training area is mostly empty. Just the two of them when Katie arrives, feeling scrawny and short and all of the other things that come when you're fourteen and you're not sure you're ever going to hit any kind of growth spurt. That awkwardness and feeling of being in an ill-fitting body permeates the emotional space around her, even if she's here for a reason. She blows out a breath and then tries to smile. ]

Hey, Misato. You still willing to help me work out?

[ Doing it alone seems... inappropriate, for some reason. Besides, Misato had been there to help her when she'd almost passed out. ]

Uh, just as a warning, I kinda... sweat. A lot. It's kinda gross and I don't really know why, it's not even like I'm that athletic. I mean, I'm not out of shape, but I was a tech, but then I was a paladin, so I guess I should get better at fighting or running or whatever it is we need to do-
