Training Clearing Encounter (Roleplay Page)/Jim and Rosie

== Jim and Rosie ==
While Rosie was eating the apple, an adolescent Mobian dog jogged on a trail nearby. He soon stopped, glancing at his timer. He smiled and sat down on a log to rest. Eventually picking up on the aura of another Mobian, Rosie curiously looks up and takes a quick one-hundred-eighty-degree scan with her light blue eyes, noticing the dog on the log, a few yards away. Although a bit surprised to see someone near her neck of the forest, the echidna smiles and gives the canine a slight, friendly wave from where she was sitting. The dog soon notices the echidna, waving back at her.
'Heh... And I here I thought nobody was going to be around, today," The echidna quietly thinks to herself, lightly chuckling when the dog waved back at her.
She brings up her apple again to take another bite, but something made her hesitate. Rosie's eyes shift back towards the other apple she had set on the grass, directly to her right, then thinks back to her visitor. Normally, Rosie is prone to training in the forest clearing, alone, so if a wandering soul happened to arrive in her neck of the woods, it would be a wasted opportunity not to go up and say hi. Grabbing the spare apple, Rosie rises up to her feet and starts walking towards the dog, hoping he'd be up for a little company.
"Hiya, there!" The sakura echidna calmly greets. "Mind if I join you?"
The dog smiled at Rosie. "I don't mind at all," he said as he stretched his arms. "I suppose I should introduce myself, then. My name is James Walker, but most call me Jim the Dog. I'm part of... well, I guess a resistance group. They're called the Freedom Fighters. You might've heard of them."
Taking a seat on the log, next to Jim with both apples in her hands, Rosie nods and responds, "I've actually had. It's nice to meet you, Jim! My name is Roselia Shaolin, but my friends just call me Rosie. I'm a martial artist." Extending her left arm, Rosie offers the uneaten apple to her new friend. "From the looks of it, you could use a little recharge snack? Want an apple?"
Jim shook his head. "Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not hungry, at least not yet. I am thristy, though. Got any water?" he asked.
"Yeah, give me a second!" Rosie confirms before quickly hopping up from the log. She lightly jogs over to a spot near the river's shore, where a light-blue duffel bag with white stripes laid on the ground. The echidna kneels down opens the bag up and rummages through it for about two seconds before she pulls out a plastic, unopened bottle of purified water, that was surprisingly quite cool to the touch. She turns back to Jim and smiles as she tosses the bottle towards him. "Here, catch!"
Jim catched the bottle with ease and smiles at Rosie. "Thanks," he said as he twisted the cap open. Jim drank about half of the bottle before putting the cap back on. He sighed. "Man, I needed that ." He looked at Rosie again, curious as to where she came from. "I know we just met, but I couldn't help asking; where are you from? I've never see n you before..."
Rosie grabs her own bottle of water and closes the duffel bag compartment before heading back over towards the log, reclaiming her seat next to Jim. "Well, I'm actually from another dimension, deep in the very core of Mobius. Where I come from, almost all of us like to practice martial arts. Heh, I'm just one of those peppy fighters that live there."
Jim grinned. "That's cool! I like martial arts, too. If it weren't for this Robotnik guy, I'd probably be in karate tournaments like I was before," suddenly,  Jim thought to himself about the dimension Rosie had mentioned. It had caught his interest. "You said that you lived in another dimension in the core of Mobius. How exactly does it work in your world? Isn't the core molten and hot?"
"Ooh, that sounds like fun! I didn't think you were a Karateka!" Rosie responds, her smile widening. That kind of news made her really happy being face to face with a fellow martial artist! "And you'd be quite surprised. My homeworld is actually made of pure energy, not lava. I guess it something you'd have to see to believe."
"Oh. Yeah, I would need to see that. Anyways, we should train with each other sometime! I would train with you now, but I'm already getting kind of tired from my jog; I wouldn't want to wear myself out, " Jim stated as he stretches his arms momentarily.
Rosie laughs a bit and says, "That's okay, I get it. It's always important to get plenty of rest after a good workout. Heck, I was in the middle of a break myself!"
The echidna undos the cap on her bottle and chugs down about a fourth of the contents, then splashes a little bit on her sweaty face to cool herself down externally, giggling as the cool water hits her. The soothing liquid would drip down her bangs, muzzle, and front quills as her body temperate began to slowly regulate to a neutral state. As she was only was only resting for a few minutes before Jim came along, she was still a little bit exhausted from throwing all of those punches and kicks. It looks like both warriors were in the same boat.
"Though, I am a little curious," Rosie says, wiping some of the water from her eyes before looking back at Jim. "What were those Karate tournaments like? They weren't like underground fights, were they?"
