Sweat rolled down Sheresh's forehead, as she completed her 16th lap around the training center's sectioned circumference. All total, she'd done four miles so far - 2 more miles and 8 more laps to go. She licked her lips as she slowed her pace down to a fast jog for a few steps; she could taste salt along the corners of her mouth.
She was wearing her full beskar'gam, sans buy'ce, and had her full medkit strapped across her back. Today was a "light" day - usually, she'd run 3 or 4 miles in full gear, weapons, medkit, helmet and all.
It wasn't that Sheresh was "hardcore" - far from it. But, the lives of her soldiers depended on her ability to move quickly in the heat of battle - when she was in encased in Mandalorian beskar from head to foot and weighted down with her gear. The young, half-Zeltron medic worked out at least three times a week - if not more - alternating her workouts with running, stretching exercises, and strength training. More than anything else, she focused on her endurance - her strength didn't always matter, but her ability to stay on her feet and push herself past all exhaustible limits, was.
The training arena was moderately busy - the late afternoon sun had started to stream through the windows along the top of the building. A lot of soldiers were getting off their day-shifts, others were getting ready for evening rotations. There was a mixture of bodies amid the sparing mats, weight benches, punching bags, and so forth. Sheresh started running faster again, as another Mando - dressed only in a pair of loose pants and boots - ran past her.
Sheresh admired the sweaty back that moved along in front of her. She was Mando'ad herself...and as practical as any other...but sometimes, she couldn't help her Zeltronian traits from surfacing. While she didn't move to the extremes of her mother's people, Sheresh was quite fond of "eye-candy" and thoroughly enjoyed the blatant displays of masculinity that were so readily available in the training area. It was one of the secret reasons why she bothered to come here to run, instead of running outside, around the base.
It was one of the far less practical benefits of being a Mandalorian, Sheresh couldn't help a goofy little smile to herself as she ran along. Macho men were inevitably attracted to the Mandalorian way of life - either that, or they were born into the clans and made that way. And while Sheresh usually bristled at men at first contact, she deeply enjoyed looking at them - as long as they didn't talk.
Her eyes wandered around the room in front of her, as she puffed along. Her legs were starting a familiar burn and the straps of her heavy kit was starting to make her shoulders ache. She took a deep breath, though, and pushed a little harder - Mishuk gotal'u meshuroke, pako kyore.
Pressure makes gems, ease makes decay.... she chanted in her head, as she lengthened her stride and breathed deeper.
And then her forward progression was stopped in mid-stride by the most amazing display of musculature that she'd ever seen.
Sheresh's jaw dropped and she stumbled a bit as she pulled up short. The medic blinked and stared in a sheer awe, at the gigantic hulk that was lifting weights across the arena, to her left.
Down, girl.... she thought and shook her head, bemused.
It really was rather inconvenient to be a Zeltron - even half-Zeltron. An impressive physique could distract her like no other - it really wasn't fair. Sheresh rolled her eyes toward the ceiling.
Why, Mother?
She couldn't help but sneak another peek, before she started running again - slower this time. She told herself it was to give her legs a bit of a break, but really, she was having fun watching the Mando hunk of muscles lifting in repetative motions. She was so enthralled, in fact, that she forgot to consider the other Zeltronian trait her mother had passed along - her pheromones.
As Sheresh jogged along, she failed to realize that now most of the males in the room were following her progression. She just trotted along, lost in her own little world, and pleased with the view that had made her workout that much more entertaining...
