The morning sun over Hargeon Beach was soft and warm but the Dharga werewolf could still feel the familiar chill Ulyssia was accustomed to in Enca. Seasons were changing here after all. She had come to Azure Beach for a break from her her Encan guards while Jasper chose to roam the forests. Walking along the beach lost in thought, the emerald eyed Encan couldn’t help but notice the outdoor gym nearby as sounds of weights clanking and voices called out in encouragement. It was a refreshing sight, filled with normal challenges and goals, so different from the battles she’d known.

As she walked by, a figure emerged from the gym area and waved her over. She had not a single clue on who he was, but from the way people around them gazed at him and groups of girls pointed towards him, clearly he was a local favorite. With a relaxed confidence, Jay approached her, a friendly grin spread across his face.

“Hey there! I don’t think I’ve seen you around before,” he said, his voice casual but carrying a spark of curiosity. “I’m Jay. I train here a lot. You look strong yourself… mind helping me out with some spotting? It’s hard to find someone who can keep up.” He gave her a wink that she wasn’t quite prepared for.

Ulyssia blinked, surprised by his straightforwardness, but she gave a nod. “I am--ermm...Sia. S-sure, I will help.” She managed to sound calm but inside, she was taken aback by his easy charm. It wasn’t every day that someone approached the wolf so boldly, especially with such open friendliness. She was used to commands, requests, or admiration spoken in quieter tones, not this easygoing kind of familiarity. Perhaps this was simply Fiorian hospitality?

“Alright then, let’s hit the bench,” Jay said before gesturing her to follow. As they arrived at the bench press, Jay explained the basics of spotting. “I’ll do a couple of sets, eight reps each, and I’ll need you to keep your hands just beneath the bar. If I’m struggling, you’re there to help me get it back up. I’ll signal you if I need help, but you’ll probably notice on the last rep.”

Ulyssia nodded. Her hands hovered just below the bar as Jay lay down on the bench. He started with a warm up weight, each movement smooth and steady. After the first set he added more weight and suddenly flashed her a grin? She had no idea what that was about. “So, tell me, Ulyssia, where’d you get those muscles? You look like you could bench press half the gym yourself.”

Ulyssia felt a blush flush into her cheeks. “Training… since I was young,” she murmured. She was naturally a shy person, but in this moment, she was even more shy under Jay's gaze. His openness and lighthearted flirting were so different from the world she knew.

He chuckled, starting his second set with a much heavier weight. “I can tell! Someone who knows how to handle themselves,” he said between reps flashing her a wink. Ulyssia looked away, focusing on the task at hand as he pushed through each repetition although he began to struggle on his seventh rep. On the eighth, he began to slow down, and she could see his muscles strain under the weight. Quickly, she gripped the bar and helped him guide it back to its stationary position. The wolf grew interested in this form of muscle training. Back home, they would pull boulders and punch through thick glaciers. This method seemed a little...lackluster?

“Thanks, Sia. You’re a natural,” Jay said, sitting up and reaching for more weights. He added another set, his biceps flexing as when adjusted the bar. Was he showing off??? “Okay, one more. This’ll be the heaviest yet, so be ready.”

Ulyssia stood beside him, hands ready as he began to tackle his final set. His breathing grew louder with each push and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. On the last rep, he struggled. Ulyssia grabbed the bar with ease, their hands close together as they worked in unison to lift it back into place. Despite her strength, she felt the weight; he’d been lifting intensely for a mere human.

Jay sat up, wiping his brow, clearly pleased. “You make a great spotter,” he said, smiling at her. Can one even be a bad bad spotters?!? “You ever thought about making this a regular thing? I could definitely use a strong partner like you around.”

She let out a small, nervous laugh. “Oh-I, haha-I-I’ll think about it...?” she said. She was unsure how to respond to his playful flirtatious gaze. She should have been flattered, but she found herself more anxious than anything. Jay reached into his bag, pulling out a small pouch and handing it to her. “Here you go, for the trouble,” he said, pressing a few jewels into her hand. “And thanks again, baby girl. You were amazing.”

Baby girl? Why would he call her a baby?! Is that what he was into!?!

Ulyssia mumbled a quick “thank you,” before Jay leaned in and blew her a kiss. Her cheeks flushed again, and she quickly turned, muttering a quick goodbye as she headed back down the beach, heart pounding.
