[color=007236][b][h3]Alexei Pavlov[/h3][/b][/color] [color=007236][b]"Oh, all good. Not much happening in the old town these days."[/b][/color] He replied as he waited for Johnathan to get ready. He nodded in approval as Johnathan explained his reasoning for starting light. It was always best to exercise caution when training like this, even if they all had powers to compensate for their shortcomings. In fact, while Alexei more than anyone could use his power to lift weights like these even easier than ever, he wouldn't; using his power to cut corners or show off would just leave him insufficiently prepared if he ever had to act without them. In any case, he took his position by Johnathan, ready to intervene if anything went awry with the weights. When Johnathan expressed his concerns, Alexei shook his head. [color=007236][b]"Don't let it worry you, Johnny. Everyone has their off days and their misunderstandings. I wasn't able to convince the girl to give you a chance myself. The girl I brought to the institute today was also quite combative and unwilling to listen. But I'm confident we'll both get through to these people with enough effort! You just have to keep giving it your all everyday; just like with these weights!"[/b][/color] [@Azereiah]
