Owner Pose
Mary Jane Watson Mary Jane Watson doesn't necessarily exercise outside of the Triskelion often, but she's just had an audition for a modeling gig. It didn't go well. Her next one for a small off-off-Broadway role is later in the evening and she's not necessarily on call tonight for 'job' duties.
    She's working over on the gym floor. Her routine is some stretching and then she's going over to take up one of the plastic 'blades' used for exercise. Not even wooden, plastic. She goes to twirl it..
Cassandra Cain The girl over in the corner isn't working out exactly. She's stretching, her left leg straight up over her head! She has on ballet slippers and yoga pants and a sports top, so she's probably a dancer. Medium sized and asian in descent, she does a good pull stretch against the wall, not talking to anyone. Not many dancers in this kind of place, but nobody would think to turn one away who wanted to use the space!
Mary Jane Watson That gets Mary Jane's attention as she would watcha t Cassandra, "Wow, that's some great moves. You do ballet?" She would offer while looking at the movie which looks more to her like something one would do for Swan Lake over something one would do for a gymnastics routine.
Cassandra Cain Cass glances over as she's spoken to. She will always do that, words in her direction have a magical power over her eyes. She lowers her leg, slow and controlled, and shifts into a splits on the floor. A nod is given, though she doesn't seem to talk about it.

After a moment of her eyes looking MJ over, she gives a kind of up-nod at the plastic blade, still in a full splits, and then does a little whirly motion with her fingers. It's almost like ASL, maybe she can't talk?
Mary Jane Watson Mary Jane Watson would go to take it in over while watching at her. Mary Jane goes to hold her hands up over to make an ASL comment back; indicating some level of fluency with it. She would sign over and then move to spell, showing she could do both. "That work?" She would inquire.
Cassandra Cain Cass' immediate reaction is to smile. She points to her lips, and then to MJ. She indicates her eyes, which usually means that she can read lips just fine. MJ can talk, no need to sign.

Then she pulls in her legs and gets to her feet. Pulling her left knee to her chest, she balances up onto the toes of the other foot. Clearly still needs to practice even if she's talking.
Mary Jane Watson Mary Jane Watson would nod over at Cassandra and smile, "Sure, so long as I'm not getting in the way. You mind if I join you? I haven't done a lot of dancing so it's a good reminder for me. Feel free to laugh at me when I take a tumble over and fall on my face." She would dip her head to Cassandra, moving over to start to go to a similar position to warm up.
Cassandra Cain Having never danced with anyone but her instructor, Cass takes the offer fairly well. She motions to the place beside her on the wall, then lowers her foot to the ground. A quick motion to 'turn around' is done with her right hand, and she puts her hands on the wall with one foot placed firmly on the support bar.

Then she demonstrates a stretch, one that she can tell MJ needs just from the way that she walks. She pulls on the bar, forcing her own knee and leg in against her body. And holds it there, breathing in and out. Her eyes are on MJ, waiting for her to try it.
Mary Jane Watson Mary Jane Watson goes to take a moment over to watch Cassandra, taking a moment to get the beat down. Then Mary Jane goes to make a similar motion. It's quite a bit slower than Cassandra's. She hasn't done the style of motion in awhile and she's also not as warmed up. Sos he takes it a little slower, then goes to repeat it to make sure she's getting limber.

Then she slowly goes to do it in the opposite direction.
Cassandra Cain Given that it's a wall stretch, against the wall, it's difficult to do in other directions. Switching legs however is totally viable. But Cass lets MJ choose her own pace, taking longer at every stretch than the redheaded girl does. She slows her pace, forcing her muscles to stretch completely. There is no rushing this process.

When she stands upright, she's ready. Beads of sweat are on her forehead, just from the stretching routine alone! Then she stretches her arms over her head and leaps, landing on her toes! It's balanced, it's controlled. It's the most elegant thing in the room, and people's heads begin to turn to watch.

MJ now has to do it with an audience!
Mary Jane Watson Mary Jane Watson would look over at Cassandra, "I suppose I'm the one that wanted to join, so I deserve to be judged." She would go to reposition herself over and watch as Cassandra does the routine, then everyone around watching. So Mary Jane goes to let out a smile, and then moves to count in her head..
    Then she goes to repeat the motions and the maneuver. Not quite as smoothly as Cassandra had, but reasonably well. A combination of combat training and lots of combat experience making up mostly for the lack of recent practice.
Cassandra Cain Ooh! Suddenly Cass isn't the only one being watched, and someone actually drops their dumbells across the room. MJ is a very attractive woman after all, and what she lacks in practice she makes up in other assets! Cass actually claps her hands, grinning as MJ does the moves! She seems happy with what she's done.

Then, however, Cass lifts her hands over her head, bends one knee to pull the foot up her other leg, and twirls on one foot. Can't be shown up that easy, though this is still fairly basic ballet.
Mary Jane Watson Yes, it's very basic. And it's not something that Mary Janehas done for a very long time, and likely then never extensively. The girl watches Cassandra for the girl's entire routine, takes a breath and then goes to repeat the motion. She's a little slower than Cassandra; her intent being to not trip over.

This maneuver doesn't look quite as clean.
Cassandra Cain As Cassandra watches Mary Jane's dancing her own routine, she nods her head sort of absently. A slight wince at one particular motion, and Cass steps in to help. With a touch on MJ's shoulder, she tries to ask the redhead to pause.

Then, showing the move on its own, she tries to help MJ get closer to perfection, and further away from potentially pulling a muscle.
Mary Jane Watson Mary Jane Watson pauses, letting Cassandra go to guide her through it. Mary Jane takes a few moments to do the maneuver again, at under a quarter speed. She does it at very low speeds five or six times, moving to get the motion through. Thenw ith that she goes to let Cassandra demonstrate it once more.
Cassandra Cain Clapping.

Lots of clapping, as the two girls dancing practice has drawn a crowd. People have pretty much stopped working out in the background, and smiling faces watch from a respectful distance. As Cass helps MJ to lower her leg, having finally done the move perfectly, the asian girl turns to look.

And she blushes, looking for a moment uncomfortable.
Mary Jane Watson Mary Jane Watson would blush and smile, "Ah.. Thanks. I couldn't have done this without you." The curvy redhead offers with a flourish of her own. "You did great. I think they're all very, very much in awe of what you did. So soak up the applause." She would if she was allowed go behind Cassandra to guide the girl through the type of flourish one might do in a curtain call.
Cassandra Cain Cass follows MJ's direction, but she doesn't do it gracefully. She clearly would prefer to do this in a place that doesn't have mounds of people staring. Not until she's good enough at it, by her own standards. Which could be a while.

However, the first ballet of the local rock-climbing organization comes to a close. With a giggle, and a blush, and a redhead watching the asian girl flee from her fans.

Even if a lot of them were watching MJ as well. That woman is a tiger. Rawr.
