Having disengaged herself from the PT tutors and suitably explained what was going on, she turned her attention back to her PT group.

"So... is anyone game for another try? We didn't even get to the fun part yet!" She was truly hoping they hadn't quit already. After all, breakfast wouldn't be served in the mess for at least another hour. There was plenty of time to work up an appetite.

“Sure, I’m game.” replied Riley. “How about you, Adri?” despite how much she tried to get out of PT at first, he was fairly sure she wasn’t going to give in.

Adri looked silently to Riley then looked down at her feet, she wished the ground would swallow her up right now but she couldn't give in, not now, not with so much left to prove...

Finally Adri swallowed, looking up she turned to Serene and nodded slightly, the merest tilt of her head but she'd take whatever was coming...

"Then let's start again." Serene took off at the slowest pace she could possibly manage, making sure Adri and Riley were following her.

She settled into position next to them, constantly reminding herself that she needed to slow down. It worked... or Riley and Adri had managed to take her olive branch and give a bit back. "See... not so bad?" She stopped herself before she taunted them again, something about it not really being exercise. Or perhaps she'd have to introduce them to her other passion... besides being an unnaturally fast runner.

Riley breathed heavily as he ran. This is ridiculous. Am I seriously this unfit? He thought to himself. They had only been running again for a couple of minutes yet he was already out of breath.
He looked over to Adri, making sure she was okay, then up to Serene, who was staying with them this time. “Hey, Serene? Do you mind if I ask you a question?” he asked, taking a deep breath before speaking.

Serene glanced over her shoulder. "Sure Riley... what's on your mind?" She kept her pace measured, hoping the conversation would keep their mind off the burning sensation in their legs.

“Not that I have a problem with it, but how come you’re so intent on getting us to exercise?” He asked, trying to distract himself from pain in his legs, which was gradually increasing as he ran.

"Because you need it Riley. You can't go around expecting to serve on a starship and not be able to run when it counts." She paused, taking a breath before continuing. "Trust me, I know from experience. Starfleet ships get attacked and everyone has to do their part, sometimes for hours or even days at a time. Being physically fit ensures that you can accomplished your duties!"

Riley nodded in agreement "Can't fault that answer." he paused "Although the 'you need it' part was a bit harsh." he joked. He knew full-well he did need the exercise, evident from how out of breath he was after only a short time running.

Adri stayed silent concentrating on trying to keep her breathing regular, the last thing she needed right now was another panic attack, Joined Trill Biology was useful for things like this but it couldn't entirely compensate for one too many bannana splits at the canteen... she certainly couldn't fault Serene's reasoning as the lactic acid started to build up, but just so long as they stayed at this pace Adri thought she could keep up... even in her fitter days she'd been more built for distance than pure speed. She didn't like it much, she preferred more cerebral pursuits or at most some of the urban combat holodeck sims for phaser training where precision and tactical thought counted for as much as pure fitness, but she could tolerate it, at least for now. She was more worried about Kuhr... her symbiont was staying uncomfortably quiet after the telepathic shock earlier...
