[Jane's clothing is well-chosen, Hanabi mentally notes with approval. It looks comfortable and easy to move in, not to mention something that wouldn't tear easily.]

We can jog a little to start. Let's do the perimeter of the training grounds twice.

[Something to get the heart pumping, and the legs moving. She planned on a series of exercises to get the whole body warmed up before they stretched, ensuring that their muscles would be ready for proper martial arts training. That being said, she gives Jane a moment to ready herself before she begins jogging along.]

How long did you train before?

[cantgetanyworse]

Ah, all right.

[Jane does a couple of stretches, shaking herself out for the run. Though she's out of practice with actual combat she does at least try to make sure that she keeps herself fit. After all, if you can't fight something you should at least be able to run away from it.

She falls in beside Hanabi and jogs easily, keeping her breathing steady.]

How long? Oh... That's a complicated question. [So she'll try to be succinct.] I have memories of things which... I'm not entirely sure actually happened. Years of learning combat techniques and firearms. But as for the actual physical training, I only managed a few months of that before I ended up here.

[usedforcepalm]

Did those memories happen on another world that you were pulled into like we were here?

[She knows from speaking with Gokudera that Avalon isn't the only world that does such things.

She keeps a reasonable pace, enough to get their hearts pumping and their bodies warm from the effort, but nothing too intense.]

[cantgetanyworse]

In a way.

[Jane doesn't keep the fact she has visited another world secret, though it isn't something she talks about without the right prompt. This particular aspect of it though... that's a bit more complicated.]

It was... a world within that world. Something happened that sent us to an alternate timeline.

[usedforcepalm]

[Hanabi glances over sympathetically.]

If it's a timeline issue, I can see how it might get confusing.

[One of the two other people from her world is a little over three years behind her point in time. The other is roughly where she's at, if not a little ahead of her. It makes things awkward.]

I wonder if those alternate timeline memories are also part of your muscle memory.

[It's something that will be interesting to test out, although she'll start slower and without putting much force into anything if they spar, just in case the muscle memory wasn't retained. She doesn't want to hurt Jane, after all. She just wants to test what she's capable of.]

[cantgetanyworse]

Oh, they are! I was able to do some training after everything was set right. I can recall how to do things, I simply lacked the physical conditioning.

[At the time she had been able to make something of it, even get on the way to getting close to how she had been in that alternate place, but then she had come here and all of that had seemed somewhat less important.

After all, being able to use a sniper rifle matters little in a place where sniper rifles don't exist.]

I'm sure it will come back to me!

[usedforcepalm]

In that case, training will probably go much faster. I think we're warmed up enough here. Let's stretch now.

[She starts by sitting on the ground, legs in front of her to touch her toes.]

If you remember it, then we can spar and I'll see what you can do.

[She'll stay purely on the defensive first, and see what comes back to Jane before striking back. She needs to know where she's at to help her grow, after all.]

[cantgetanyworse]

Ah-- right.

[Jane joins her on the ground, stretching her legs out and leaning forwards. She's able to touch her toes without much difficulty, much to her own surprise (and satisfaction).]

I do appreciate you taking the time. Some people simply don't have the patience for it.
