Looking to remedy things, Ryunosuke strolled into the training room in his standard leather jacket and jeans expecting the place to be empty so he could get through his exercise without interruption. Only no such luck was to be had, but at least he was sharing company with an Auror who - according to his observations at least - was enthusiastic about her job and wouldn't drag him down with lethargic movements.
"Great minds," he said in lieu of greeting as he twirled his wand between his weathered fingers.
Forest. Interesting choice he supposed.
The sound of the entrance opening registered to the Auror, as did everything else when she was in full Auror mode regardless of whether this was for training or the real deal. It left her wondering who else had decided to get in some training at this time of the day.
As it so happened, she wouldn't have to be wondering very long. The voice behind her had her turning slightly. It wasn't inherently familiar which was strange for the young woman who made it a habit of talking to everyone at least twice--once wasn't always enough to know for sure you couldn't under any circumstance tolerate someone.
Oh, it was the fresh meat. Great minds? Look at him making friends already. Lex considered her options a moment. She could come back when he was through (hah, right, no) or they could share the forest and she could see what he was made of. Quite understandably, one option held far more weight with her.
"Promise you won't die on me so we can get started." Said with a good naturedly grin. If he really was the dying sort, Lex would like to think he wouldn't have secured a job in MLE in the first place. All good.
