Kinda.

More like gymnastics right now, but still. Jan Di was standing on top of the gate, balancing herself as she roamed across. Sometimes she'd do hand-stands and walk with her hands. Sometimes she did flips.

Every time she'd land back on her feet.

"Oh my Gooood." she sighs, her exhaustion only showing in her voice. She otherwise showed no sign this was at all difficult to do.

"I don't wanna do thiiiis."

"Then why the heck are you doing it??"

Murdoch's eyes wide as he approaches the gate and Jan Di.

"That's a quick way to breaking your neck right there!"

Jan Di would be mid hand-stand before she'd look up lazily at Murdoch.

"Nah. That wouldn't happen." she sighs. "And if I don't do it then I'll get rusty and then maybe I would break my neck."

"So you're used to this kind of stuff" he inquires curiously!

"What? Gymnastics?" she tilts her head before gently planting her feet back down and then taking a seat.

"Yeah. I've been doing it for a while."

She gives a wry smile.

"It's kept me alive so far. More than my power, even. You got any experience in it...uh?"

Wait, wait.

"Murdoch."

She snaps her fingers at him.

He shakes his head.

"Nah, none, but I'm always up for new things."

Jan Di gives a thoughtful frown but nods.

"Alright. I bet I could teach you somethin'."

Maybe.

She'd jump off the gate before walking over to him.

"What sort of experience DO you have? Athletically speaking."

"Enough to be an agent, I guess?"

He lifts up his shirt and knocks on his abs. It's nothing special, but it's clear he puts in enough work to stay fit.

"Fighting, running, push ups, whatever."

"So pretty basic stuff." she nods, tapping her chin in thought.

"Alright, how do you feel about learning to jump and climb better? Not that I wanna encourage you to haul ass, but, in times where you need to, it can be pretty useful."

"Hey, every skill set helps, right? I'm always down to improve."

He agrees, removing his buttoned shirt to have more flex room.

"Let's do this."

Jan Di tries not to watch as he removes his shirt, brushing her hair casually behind her ears.

"Alright. In my experience there's very little someone can't climb. Windows tend to be easy."

Without any further instruction, Jan Di would take off in a run before bouncing up and grabbing onto the brick frame around the first story window. Then pull herself up!

"EASY? EASY!"

"Uhh, yeah."

Murdoch attempts the same, running for the the brick frame! He jumps and grabs it, but has a tougher time pulling himself up than Jan Di!

"Oof, come on!"

Jan Di would chuckle and scoot over, reaching down to grab him by the belt to help lift him up.

"I forgot to mention you wanna swing your leg up as fast as you can. Or you can use the wall to kick yourself up as you pull with your arms. It's always gotta be a sort of "explosion" though."

Murdoch gets lifted and he takes a moment to compose himself.

"So there's an effective form to it. Makes sense."

Jan Di starts to laugh sheepishly.

"Yeah. I'm not a great teacher." she admits. "You do better by watching and doing, or by verbal instruction?"

Even though he's gotten both now. It would be good for later stuff if she doesn't kill him with climbing.

"I'd say I make best use of both together, but I'll keep a closer eye on your form now, which should help."

His power should accurately outline the moves she made for him to attempt to recreate.

"Aiight." she smirks, turning towards the building again and hopping to grab onto the next ledge. Murdoch would note how she lets herself dangle completely, arms straight, before quickly pulling herself up and kicking off the wall with her legs.

"Got that?"

"Mhmm, I think so."

Murdoch would hop up and grab onto the ledge, similar to how Jan Di had. He replaces her form a couple time sin his head quickly before attempting it himself!

He dangles, keeps straight. After a deep breath he pulls himself off and kicks off the wall. He struggles and the forms a bit messy, but he makes it onto the next ledge!

"Ahh, how was that?" He asks nervously.

She gives a low whistle.

"Not bad at all! You learn quick, I like that. Think you can do it three more times and get to the roof?"

She wasn't going to judge the messy form. That's all about practice.

"Uhh, I think so." He says, noticeably panting.

"More of a workout than I thought it'd be, but I can make it."

"Yeah. I'll admit climbing's not as fun as jumping. But ya gotta get up there."

She gives a shrug before looking up at the next window.

"You wanna go first?"

He nods to her inquiry.

"Hell yeah, I do."

Murdoch would hop up to grab the next ledge. Having the form memorized in his mind, repeating it was much easier the second time around. He'd glance down to see if Jan Di was following before continuing up to the roof, his form improving with each ledge!

She's just watching for now, grinning wider and wider the better he gets at it.

"It's like you were born to do it!" she calls up, quickly following after him. Her movements were slick and cat-like, and it almost looked effortless as she got up to the roof!
