[Childe-san works for him then - it's just quicker. But he'll lean against the ropes of the boxing ring from the inside, resting his weight on them.]
You mean the boxing ring - or the gym in general? I've never gotten to be in a ring before, but the rest of this is pretty standard exercise equipment! You're not familiar?
[You comfy in there, Mineo. Childe eyes the ring for a second, like he's debating joining him, but after a moment he turns back towards the weights and such.]
It looks quite different from what I'm used to. [Who needs a gym when you're in the ARMY kind of] Though I admit I mostly spar these days anyway.
To "box", is it? [He's going to have to take his gloves off to put on the boxing gloves, which are? Terrible? He's going to do kicks only rather than bother with this shit] Are there rules?
but mineo's reflexes are at least fast enough that surprise doesn't hit him too hard, letting him duck just short of getting knocked in the head, throwing his shoulder into knocking childe further away from him, which he'll follow with an attempted kick to his side
mineo: it's mostly punches mineo and childe: ignore that entirely]
[yeah rules are also for losers!!! THIS IS JUST SPECIALTY BOXING? SURE.
Also how many times am I going to forget Mineo is tall in this thread, let's find out
But Childe will do his best to dodge the kick! This time he will try and swoop in for a punch on Mineo's other side, in the hopes that the momentum from his kick will have him off-balance for a moment.]

[He doesn't bow back, but he does nod towards the equipment around.]
You seem somewhat familiar with things like this.

[yeah... sparring...]
no subject
Oh yeah? Just for fun, or for work?
If you need a sparring partner, I'm not looking to get rusty while I'm here.
no subject
An equal amount of both, really! [Work is fun is work is murder, waves hand.] But if you're offering, then I'm happy to oblige.
[He's probably already got a bruise from Endorsi kneeing him in the jaw I hate this]
no subject
Sure, why not? It's not like we've gotten directions on anything else to do.
[he'll pick up some more boxing gloves and toss them over to childe. JOCKS,,]
no subject
Also he catches the gloves, though he looks at them curiously.]
Are these necessary? [This isn't armor]
no subject
But I've never gotten to box before! So I wanna give it a try!
[CHILDE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT BOXING IS, THIS IS GOING TO TURN INTO MMA ANYWAY]

Uhh, I think it's mostly punches! Let's try not to knock out any teeth since we just got here, but there's mouth guards if you're worried about it?
[he doesn't look worried about it. apparently fights are the one thing mineo's confident in?]
no subject
[what kind of a loser wears armor lmao]
no subject
but regardless Mineo seems fine with that??]
Then let's go!
[TIME FOR BOXING THAT WILL TURN INTO A BRAWL NEAR INSTANTLY]

automatically going to go for a roundhouse elbow to Mineo's temple]
