I against I & me against you
Characters: Kevin Smith & -insert name here-
Format: ACKSHUN!
This log is: o p e n
Location: outside the dorms
Summary: Kevin's working through some of his inner demons by doing the one thing he knows best. Play tennis.
Warnings: Possibly some swears, to be updated as needed.
[Anyone wandering out of their dorm and into the courtyard will hear the strange, consistent echo of something smacking against something else in an almost rhythmic beat.
If you bother to search for the source, you'll find Kevin in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt with a tennis racket in hand off to the side of the central building. The source of the noise? It would be that tennis ball he's continuously smacking back against the wall. This otherwise ordinary scene is broken, however, by how violently he's doing it. If you didn't know better? You'd think he was trying to crack someone's skull open with how hard he's hitting that dang ball. Wonder what his problem is...]

That complete, his fingers curl around the green, fuzzy sphere as he turns to look at... wait, isn't that Gino's roommate?]
What?
no subject
Nothing, just watching. Does it bother you?
no subject
You're one of Gino's roommates, right? We met once. ... sort of.
no subject
Yeah... in the middle of the argument Gino and I were having.
Kallen. [She'd hold out her hand, but yeah, the blood thing. So she just sticks to tradition and bows, lands tuck to her sides. Please don't look at them, it'll make her paranoid.]
no subject
Have an quick nod of his head, Kallen.] Kevin. He's not the easiest guy to get along with, huh?
no subject
No. [An awkward laugh] We've kind of always butted heads before. A lot was going on that day and I just snapped I guess.
no subject
[Yeah, he actually does bring up his hands to do the quoting around that work.]
no subject
No, not like he is. Not that you're from 'our world' and I except you to understand, but he's a 'Knight of Round' and I was a 'Black Knight'. We were... actually enemies.

Aren't you meant to play that with another person?
no subject
[Without skipping a beat in his practice, Kevin replies in a slightly breathless tone of voice. Apparently, he's been at this for a while.]
You offering?
no subject
[other than him not being able to play tennis beyond a few casual games as a kid but. Hey, whatever.]
no subject
I've got a couple spare rackets in my bag. [Have him jerk a thumb over his shoulder to a bench where said bag sits.] We can head to the gym for an actual court or just do some rallying here.
no subject
When he walks back over, he isn't holding it right at all, but he's still grinning.]
You gonna go easy on me?
no subject
Handle, Gino. It's there for a reason.

Now hold your hand out as if you're going to shake mine.

Ah, there's the source of it. He stops to watch for a moment. It's that boy he'd failed to protect during the shadows' attack.]

That done, Kevin brings up a hand to wipe away some sweat and regain his breath. Of course, that's when he notices Edgar and winces. He knows that fact, the man in his nightmare who... yeah, no, he's not even going to think about that word.]
Hey.
no subject
How are you doing?
no subject
What about you?
no subject
...I don't believe we've been introduced. I'm Edgar.
