Ice

Date/Timing: March 2016
Setting: Gym, Jaeger Academy; Kodiak, AK, USA
On Day Two of Life with Novices, Valence and Drapes still only have their robes. The instructors [told them not fight in them (choking hazard, apparently) so they shiver the whole workout] and Jack has absolutely nothing to grab when Drapes gets him down on the mat with a leg around his neck.
Logan's fist connects with Valence's sternum.
Valence doubles over, slides off Logan's arm to the ground, and lies still.
"Ye didn't kill 'im, ay?" croaks Jack, trying to batter at Drapes.
Valence wheezes.
"Think he's okay."
Drapes adjusts his leg hold on Jack's neck. "He's fine."
"What about you?" asks Logan.
"I have him," says Drapes.
"Right then, Drapes." Logan grabs Drapes under his bare arms. "Up you go."
Drapes drags Jack up with him.
"Christ, you made of ice or something?"
"I do not understand the comparison."
"Means—" Logan tries to shake Drapes loose. "—you're as solid as a rock and colder than the floor."
"Ah." Drapes twists his hips and Jack almost completely around.
Logan hits the mat headfirst.
Drapes wiggles free and attends Valence.
