Sweat dripping down his body, Isamu racked the weights he'd been lifting, his breath slow and heavy. Sixty kilos. Not bad, just above his body weight. Yeah, that was about right. Stretching his arms and removing his grip gloves, the young man took a deep breath before moving over to the treadmill, grabbing his phone and putting the earbuds into his head. As the "ground" beneath him started to move, Isamu's legs pumped forward, the breaths coming out a bit quicker now. As his arms swung back and forth, he started to hum to the music, a blissful smile crossing his face. 

A few minutes later, he was making his way to the pool, swim trunks on and a towel hung over his shoulder. His breath was still slightly ragged from the workout and his muscles cried out, but the aches were glorious. [b]"No pain, no gain."[/b] Chuckling to himself, he shook his head. English had some pretty interesting phrases to it, but that one was spot-on. He certainly didn't get to where he was by lounging around and feeling sorry for himself. Two fingers? So what? He was better at origami than a good ninety percent of the population, and that was with barely a few years of practice and his parents teaching him! 

Finally reaching the pool, Isamu stopped as he noticed he wasn't alone. Usually that was the case after the swim team had gone, but today he was a bit early, after all. Shrugging, he approached the pool, looking for a place to secure his towel. [b]"Hi there, mind if-"[/b] Abruptly cutting himself off with a grunt, Isamu swapped languages, forgetting he'd been thinking in English. Having two mother tongues will do that to ya. "Hello. Do you mind if I join you out here?" Much better. There were people who could understand English, yeah, but it wasn't good to make a habit of speaking in a language most of the folks around you weren't fluent in. Stretching his arms, he gave the girl a moment to respond. She seemed a bit wrapped up with....whatever it was she was thinking about at the moment.
