[Today is Valentine's day, and its craze seems to have hit the Chalice in full - all around the ship people seem focused on being with their loved ones, or drowning the sorrow of not having them in various ways.

Samus, however, doesn't really seem to have so much as noticed the occasion - or if she has, she certainly seems to think it has absolutely nothing to do with her. She's in the gym, training as she does every now and then, doing some little exercises to keep limber and balanced. Nothing to really break a sweat, more of a rythmic, harmonious routine to center her body in the same way she centers her mind... though it has to be said that Samus's "little exercises" seem to imply a lot of things an Olympic gymnast would be hard pressed to do by making a serious effort, and many things no normal human could do at all. But she exudes a downright contagious vibe of perfect peace and equilibrium as she goes through the motions.

She did not particularly intend to meet anyone, but those who want to escape the festivities a bit might well find the bounty hunter there, and want to enjoy the calm in the air as a respite from the atmosphere in the rest of the ship!]

[And with one final blow, Domon snaps the bag back completely... right before the chain holding it snaps and sends it falling to the ground! It's only then though that he notices someone's watching him, and he turns to find it was the blonde amazon from before.]

Something about how I fight catch your eye?

[Nod]

You have a very unique style.

[At that Domon brings his right hand to attention, just as a particular crest began to glow on it.]

I'm a student of the School of the Undefeated of the East; trained under the winner of the last victor of the Gundam Fight and current holder of the title King of Hearts.

And what does such a title imply?

Unrivaled skill in hand-to-hand combat, and recognition by most in that field.

So it means you are the best fighter among humans.

[He can't help but smile at that a bit.]

I don't mean to sound proud so I won't say best, but you'd have to put some serious effort into finding someone who'd be on my level.

Save for my Master, though.

[Samus jumps down and looks at him straight on]

It has been long since I met someone I might learn something from in a fight. Would you mind a spar?

So long as you're as good as you look to be, I don't see the harm.

[Domon's smile is growing a hell of a lot more noticeable. A good fight's the best way for him to decide if he likes someone or not, with a flourish of his coat he readies himself.]

[Samus herself shifts her feet and takes her own stance, arms slightly raised. She nods]

Let's go, then.
