Between the war and its aftermath, the festival and its preparations, Alisa really had not been having quite enough time to focus on that half year old training plan of hers. When the war with grimoire first began, Alisa understood just how much her lack of experience could ultimately hamper her fighting efforts, how simple training might sharpen her body, but only with adequate experience could she put all of her technique and physical conditioning to its utmost use.
Orange juice, a banana, and a mug of coffee. Alisa would much rather avoid eating a hefty breakfast after what she expected would be a cardio heavy session... She'd get her usual morning workout in, the find herself some mission to do, and perhaps, who knows, whatever mission she found could somehow complement her daily session:
"Perhaps that wannabe detective still needs some help getting rid of the gold in his pocket...?", mused the sculptress, nonetheless acknowledging one of Orchidia's most prominent employers of mages for his wide array of business opportunities. Where he found all that money was beyond her, but also none of her business.
"No matter... Let's go Lumen~ Oh...?", a particular sight brought a hand to her hip, spotting a piece of paper in her partner's hand as she offered it to the sculptress with a sheepish, but cheery look on her face, "Now this looks interesting. Seems like our morning run just got a little longer~"
Alas, Lumen not for a moment seemed to consider such an outcome to her helpfulness, and once those words reached her ears, her mood visibly darkened, head cocking down disappointingly at the mere prospect of the grueling training to follow.
That gloomy mood wouldn't last long though, Alisa gave her that much credit. Before long, Lumen had steeled herself for the unexpected, increased difficulty of her exercise.
Under the warm but soothing morning sun, the sporty sculptress jogged to the location with Lumen at her side, with nothing but each other to keep company and a gentle, early summer breeze to keep them fresh, brushing softly against their flushed, glistening skin. Perhaps enough for Lumen, but such a run barely qualified as a warmup to this artist, and as such, she scarcely broke a sweat over it. Her ponytail bobbed and swayed under the wind, while her full, shapely bosom jiggled far too much for her liking... Though tight enough for her cleavage to spill out ever so slightly, her choice of top left much to be desired; she'd need it far tighter for the full measure of running comfort Alisa normally sought.
She had traded away some tightness for much needed freshness, a wider cut matching her shorts, keeping her body fresh mid jog... But clearly buying it a size too small hadn't been enough... It was good enough for her to deal with though, without even shooting an envious look at her partner's blue track jacket. Lumen may be a candle, but she had to be roasting underneath it... That vivid red flush on her cheeks wasn't fooling anyone. In the end, Alisa actually arrived a fair bit before her client, thought she easily located the training grounds...
