CHARACTERS: Felicity Smoak and You! LOCATIONS: Crunches + All Around Town WARNINGS: None SUMMARY: Now that she has no other excuse, Felicity is trying to live a slightly more active life.
[ Water fountain, check. Locker rooms, check. Towels, check. Don't use the equipment wrong, okay. Come to us if you want some personal training, yeah yeah.
When she spots Derek coming in and swiping his key fob, she visibly smiles — it's something he should be able to see even though there's still some distance between them. ]
Right, got it. But actually ... my personal trainer just got here, so I'm just gonna- yeah- go over there now. Thanks for the tour.
[ The employee with her nods and lets her be, and Felicity waves towards him from afar, motioning a question with her hands as she points to the men's locker room: Do you need to change? ]
[ Derek watches, a little amused, as Felicity tries to politely extricate herself from the tour to join him and when he catches her motion, Derek shakes his head and moves forward to meet her. ]
Nah, I'll change when I get home.
[ He's already wearing a tank and a pair of workout pants. Derek typically comes here prepared and then showers and changes back home rather than utilizing the locker room. The fact of the matter is, a men's locker room tends to smell pretty horrific, especially with a nose as sensitive as Derek's. He'll pass. ]
Oh, no, no I'm good. [ She'd come dressed already, though she does have something to wear after the workout tucked away in a locker. They went through the locker rooms on the tour. ] Unless you don't think what I'm wearing ... is good for working out. [ Capris, a workout shirt that's a little baggy on her. ]
Good. [ She responds, her voice sounding relieved. If she hadn't worn the right clothes, she wouldn't have known what to do. ]
Ahhh well. I could really tell you the benefits of their latest treadmill. Apparently they've very low impact.
[ But she chuckles a little as she looks down to the floor for a second. ] I really have no idea though. It's all a little overwhelming, to be honest, which is why I've never been to one of these places before. I mean, is someone supposed to use all these machines during a workout?

Do you need to? I can wait here for you...

No, no, what you're wearing is fine. I just didn't want to assume.
[ He clears his throat a little and looks around the gym. ]
All right, where do you want to start?
[ It doesn't really occur to him that he should clarify that he means to be asking what part of her body she wants to start working to tone. ]
