[If anyone who knew Athena still thought she cope with bad things in an even somewhat healthy manner, then they really underestimated her.
It's been a while since she'd needed to vent like this. The last time it had been when Tim had returned to them, when she'd left for Goldenrod and beaten Jack so badly that whatever being it was that watched over all of them had just. Plucked him away from her before she could end him. More recently she'd almost needed to take her frustrations out when Angel had finally filled her in on just what Jack had done to her, but the girl managed to talk her down. So she'd been good. She'd been calm.
But waking up alone, waking up to no trace of Janey anywhere in the rooms of the inn their ragtag little group had claimed for their own... it brought back that white-hot burning inside of her, and using a tree as a punching bag just wasn't doing the trick. So, bright and early one day, there will be a short, firm knock on Krieg's door, and without even waiting for a response, Athena barges in.]
Hey. You finally tired of only fighting your Pokemon?
[They've talked about it before, but nothing ever came of it. Now? Well. Now seems like the perfect time to take up that sparring offer.]
[action; date ???? idk after Janey's drop but before the beach trip]
