[Exercising, meditating, and training have always been part of her daily rituals for as long as she can remember. It was a staple, something that couldn't easily be taken for granted nor ignored. Nike didn't exactly consider herself to be anything amazing. Not like those people who are dedicated entirely to a sport or having to train for war; on the contrary she was someone that was completely dedicated to a specific craft -- singing.
To be able to sing and use her magic, having a powerful diaphragm and body was a necessity. It wasn't strange to find her doing over a hundred squats, crunches, and dedicating time to run at the beach areas above the underground areas. Sometimes she would end up fighting some of the locals, thinking they can rob her or worse. At the very least, it was in the beginning when she first resumed her training, which was entertaining for the most part, until her challengers began to deplete in numbers, leaving Nike absolutely bored.
As much as she appreciated the beach offering her a challenge, she was getting used to not breaking a sweat even after running laps for hours; her breathing in the underground areas were improving just as much. She was faster and overflowing with stamina just as though she was back at her world. Which was good, but a major set back. Why didn't the city have a large forest to run laps in like the Sun Kingdom or better yet a forest on top of a mountain like in her birth country? She missed running through the forest, hunting, and scavenging. City life was beginning to lose its initial appeal. No matter how futuristic and amazing it all looked compare to the cities in her world.
Which was one of the reason she was returning home earlier than usual, running throughout, hoping to find Allen and Robin training over at the rooftop. Maybe if she asked nicely, they'll let her watch or even join in. They must be as bored of each other as she is with her training by now, right? After deciding on the best way to sell the idea to them, she will end up at the rooftop with a sheepish smile.]
Hey. Allen? Robin? Are you guys still going at it? I just got back and was wondering if you could do me a huge favor....?
[Those were not the words or sales pitch she wanted to use!! Still, it was a better start than her earlier decided lines. Hopefully.]
