He would've usually stopped already; but today, he just needed to punch until he either wouldn't be able to lift his arms at all, or there was simply nothing left to punch. Because when he physically strained his body, his mind didn't get enough energy to think about what had transpired. It was at that moment that he felt the touch of a hand on his shoulder and he protectively turned around while flinching. it was a very cold hand in contrast to his heated body after working out for so long. To his surprise, the new woman who appeared on the monitors stood before him, and it took him a few good second to realise that he was posing in his battle stance. After awkwardly regaining his normal posture, he gave the woman a smile to let her know that he heard her. [color=0076a3]"i'm sorry you saw me like that, I was too focused on my training, I didn't hear you enter."[/color] He raised his left arm behind his head to scratch it; now that the adrenaline had worn off, he got a good look at Emily. It seemed like today was just full of surprises, as Max quickly noticed while trying to keep his eyes locked on Emily's head. Normally her clothes would be very casual, but for her they left little to the imagination. hoping that she didn't notice his surprised look, Max walked over to the corner to grab his shirt and put it on while saying: [color=0076a3]"Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be sure to grab a plate when my stomach starts asking for it."[/color] After tightening his tie, he walked towards the dojo door and kept it open for Emily to walk through. [color=0076a3]"You were announced on the monitors along with 2 other new people, so I already know that you're the Infinite Caretaker, but to be honest, that seems like such a vague talent. So I was wondering. What is it exactly, that you do?"[/color] The moment Max asked what exactly does she do she held back a chuckle, she thought that her title alone would be enough to give people an idea of what she did."[color=cyan] You could say I'm like Miss Buckly, but I take care of people who are either sick or injured and want to get back on their feet. I help the blind, disabled, and sometimes the elderly in any way I can, such making them happier, encouraging them that they can overcome their ailment or ailments. So like I said before, I'm like Miss Bliss, but with sick and injured people.[/color]" She explained it to him. "[color=cyan]Oh, um, if you don't mind me asking what is your name sir?[/color]" she asked him. As she stepped back out of the room, the caretaker tripped over her own two feet and the mature woman then fell face first into the floor putting herself compromising position with her bottom sticking up in the air, and her sweater riding up to show some of her back. the caretaker's head was spinning from the small tumble she had, for someone smaller it would've been different, but someone of her... Size, it was a little more painful for her [color=0076a3]“Ahh, I see; that [i]does[/i] make sense.”[/color] He said before being surprised by Emily’s question. [color=0076a3]“There wasn’t an introduction video in the elevator you arrived in? My apologies, I assumed that everybody received those introductions. In any case, I am Max Visser, Infinite Police Offi-“[/color] But before Max could finish his introduction; Emily came tumbling down right in front of him. He tried to grab Emily’s shoulder as fast as he could but before he could reach her, she was already kissing the ground. And if Max wasn’t too busy with checking if she was okay and getting her up, her unique pose would have most certainly colored Max’s cheeks red. [color=0076a3]“Ho there! Are you okay miss? That looked like it hurt.”[/color] He said as he positioned himself in front of her and reached out his hand for her to grab hold of. [color=0076a3]“Isn’t it a bit soon to fall head over heels for me?”[/color] Max’s obvious attempt at a joke, however poor it may be. Ellie began pulling herself off the floor without Max's help and gave his joke a kind chuckle, she brushed herself off before checking her back pockets for her journal, once she felt the book she felt a little relieved."[color=cyan] I'll be okay.[/color]" She told him while fixing her bright blue hair, she then realized she needed to go tell the others about breakfast and turned away from Max."[color=cyan] Well, I gotta tell the others that there's breakfast in the dining hall.[/color]" She told the police officer over her shoulder. As Emily left max hanging and got up without help, Max noticed how she reached into her back pockets before feeling relieved. Both a sense of curiosity and caution got the better of him; while it could be harmless, Emily could be hiding something dangerous or incriminating. [color=0076a3]“I can keep you company if you’d like? And if it’s not too much to ask, I noticed you checking your pockets, something important in there?”[/color] The mature woman stopped mid step once Max asked if he could join her, she waved her hand."[color=cyan]Oh I'm just going around to tell the others about breakfast, you don't really need to join me. Plus I bet a big guy such as yourself worked up a hunger doing all that training.[/color]" When he asked what it was that she was checking her pockets for, Ellie showed her journal to him. It was a small leather bound tome. "[color=Cyan]It's just my little diary, I try to keep it on me at all times just in case I want to write something. Nothing really important to someone like yourself Mr.Visser.[/color]" When Ellie presented her diary, a concealed sigh escaped Max. Maybe it was because of yesterday, but he was feeling a bit paranoid, even so much that he distrusted an innocent woman. That he would do so at all agitated him, although he didn't visibly change at all. [color=0076a3]"Aah I see, I understand the need to record your thoughts, if only to check your sanity in this crazy place."[/color] he said as he let go of the door when Ellie passed through. [color=0076a3]"But you're right, after that workout, I could use some of Bliss' cooking. Let me know if you need anything, I'm always happy to oblige."[/color] Putting her journal back into her pocket, she turned back around and went back to what she was doing, going around and telling everyone about breakfast.
