There seemed to be a possibility of rain in the forecast that day, so, just to be cautious, yoga was being held inside that day, which Rosa didn't love (much harder to escape), but she didn't feel like getting rained on that day, either. Sometimes she didn't mind, but she definitely didn't want to deal with it on the first class.

"Right," she started, "so. This is More Yoga, having had other Yoga before is not a prerequisite, but it'll sure help. We're going to be focusing on chakras this time around, too, instead of just a general overview, not because I really believe in any of that crap, but there are seven weeks and seven chakras, so it kind of felt like a gimme.

"Basically, chakras refer to various spots in your body where energy is said to radiate from, and yoga's supposed to help focus these chakras and keep them balanced, so that you're balances, and it's all just sort of spiritual mindfulness crap. We're going to start with the Muladhara chakra, or root chakra today, the first of the seven, which is said to be located around your coccyx or tailbone, associated with the color red, and it's supposed to support good health for your body, your connection to the Earth, and overall stability in the physical world."

And if it sounded like Rosa was a little bored and disbelieving of these sorts of things, well...

"So we'll learn a few poses good for the root chakra, and one of the things good for the root chakra is also the sun salutation, which is also good, because that's how we'll be starting and finishing most sessions. Those of you who already know it, you know what to do, but if you don't, just follow along with me on the warm up, and you can work on improving it as we go on."

Usually a nice mix of sweat and the woods, leather and oil, with that unmistakable undercurrent of Cup Noodle^TM.

"But it'll do," Gladio said. "Better than not doing it at all."

Or trying to hold a warrior pose while unable to stop sneezing because of the potenti fain.

(Must be the woods scent.)

Whatever it was, Nell liked it. It made her feel safe and comfortable and as if she belonged. And there was the funny little tingle that she got...

"Better than nothing," Nell agreed. "And the company is good."

"Company's almost better than the yoga itself," Gladio said, unable to help passing a grin over to Nell.

And also unable to keep himself from the quirking his chin Rosa's way.

"Especially with such a friendly, charismatic, and enthusiastic instructor."

Nell blushed, but smiled back at him. "Might just be."

She shot a glance in Rosa's direction. "The company on this side of the room?" she suggested. "And there's always the roof."

Gladio snorted at Nell's specification, before agreeing, somewhat softly, just like his grin. "There is always the roof."

And then there was a moment of indecision, of whether or not to just let that linger there all on its own, or to throw in another light quip, a little levity, just to make sure it couldn't be confused for anything too uncomfortable or presumptuous or more than what it was.

Or, hell, even just exactly what it was.

But looking at her now, and thinking of just the other night and how he'd been far more interest in stealing glances her way to watch her watching the fireworks than he ever was in the fireworks themselves, well...

He'd just leave it there, this time, after all.

Nell smiled over at him and just... stayed there smiling at him for maybe a moment or two longer than she'd intended, but he was just so dear and her heart felt so happy. She reached out and touched him on the arm lightly. "Always the roof."
