// Good question

Didn't think all that far into it 💀

—And as for the Marine, she simply had decided he would be the person she would run beside.

Her pace slowed when his did, and picked right back up as he tried to refocus himself.

This caught her attention, only serving to make her more curious about the him as they ran.

If she had wanted to show off, she would have done so from the very beginning. It wouldn't be hard to outpace every other person there, after all.

But that's not what she was here for. She was here to run WITH them.

— Her gaze shifted over towards the private, a small grin tugging at the corners of her mouth as she adjusted to match his own pace.

The way she moved, it was almost effortless.

As the CO stepped out to get the run into motion, the Spartan moved in tandem with the cadence.

Control and order, both come hand in hand.

The Beta moved into a comfortable jogging pace, her body seemingly relaxed, yet engaged at the same time.

For her, PT was a means of training both the body and the mind. Discipline and pushing her limits and capabilities. The upward progression of honing her skills.

"Good, so long as you try, that's what is important."

"Good, nothing better to get the blood moving than a brisk morning run."

She was raring to go, almost bouncing back and forth between her feet while jogging in place.

"I'll be keeping pace with you, think you'll be able to manage, Private?"

— She made a move to fall in next to the Marine, flashing a small, friendly smile in his direction.

"Morning! Ready to get those miles in?"
