It started out fine...
She was fourteen when the area karate regionals came around. Never mind the fact that it was early December, and her mid-terms were coming up, and she was still trying to come to terms with her new breast size. Like an idiot she said she'd be there, layered on sports bras, and trotted to the gym.
The fights were simple exhibitions, points awarded on execution and touches rather than beating an opponent into the ground. In her third bout Aya was getting tired, and her opponent, a human from two towns over she'd met in the ring before, was as well. That was probably why things went wrong.
Three points in he flubbed a spin kick and his ankle buckled, making the attacking foot lash in an unexpected direction. She didn't get a block up in time and he tagged her hard on the ribs, taking them both to the floor. The referee blew his whistle, hard, halting all conversation as paramedics came forward to access injuries.
One cracked ankle on his side.
Two cracked ribs on hers.
They both managed to facepalm at the same time when it was announced they were unfit to continue. "Next year," they mouthed at each other around the pained wincing as they were bandaged.

Braig returned just a bit before Dilan did, with a bag of videos, seven or eight of them.

Dilan came in with the tray full of food for them, "Yup." he agreed, "So don't worry too much."

"Sins of Space." he decided, "Monsters in outerspace."

Sometimes Elcy hit cookbooks when she was worried. It was a form of mental vacationing!
"...this movie is in Italian. Space Italian. Was there a subtitles option that I missed seeing?" Or did the pseudo-foreign language stop eventually?!

Dilan...ate. Because it was new and good.
