Unlike most of the receivers of the S.U.I.T. program, Theron wasn't very eager to start working out with everyone else. For the most time, he was just aimlessly toying with his long hair, trying to hide somewhere (most often behind his caretaker), or otherwise trying to... Get out of this place. The last time he's even touched a piece of work-out equipment, it ended up... Bad. He wasn't willing to test his luck.<br/><br/>He was passively protesting even as he was forced to enter, clutching his bag and blushing crimson. "Maru... Do I really have to..." he hissed through his clenched teeth at his caretaker. She nodded. "Remember that your parents paid a lot for this, and generally, it was more than difficult. It's eating away on your father's wallet to even pay for apartment... You don't want your parents' efforts to go in vain, would you?"<br/>Her head with neatly cropped black bangs appeared above his shoulder. He sighed. "You're acting as if I had this 'empathy' thing. Besides, everybody's definitely not going to stare if I break something. For sure." Despite him being completely deadpan in face and voice, Maru has learned to recognize his sarcasm, and effectively ignore it.<br/>"They're not. Now come on and take the jacket off. Or I will be forced to cut into it." she replied, giving him a small smirk. His eyes widened, and he grew pale all of a sudden.<br/>"N-not the jacket... Just not the jacket... Not the jacket!" he muttered, staring at her in an utterly terrified manner, and quickly took the leather jacket he perpetually wore, off, bolting towards the closest treadmill despite still being in his shirt and jeans.<br/><br/>"Kyōki no josei. (crazy woman) " he muttered underneath his breath as he began running. Maru's dark eyes, carefully watching him, narrowed. "I heard that." she raised a finger.<br/><br/>Theron glanced at the girl, running on the machine next to him, as if asking for help.<span style="font-style: italic">I don't know you, but do something about this, please!</span>his entire expression said.
