Not worrying about getting stronger was one thing, but not practicing actual fighting was a whole 'nouther ball game. Actual, physical technique wasn't something you just remembered after not using it for months, and even if she was planning on training up her power level later, relying solely on it was going to get her ass beat into the ground very quickly when she faced opponents as strong and stronger than her. And that's why she walked into a gym in the Southern Islands. Honestly, at first, she wasn't planning to. But as she walked along the streets and the gym caught her eyes she couldn't help but feel a little guilty at how much she had been slacking off. So she came to a decision, she would just spar some body, and after today, she would try to keep up with her fighting abilities with as many people as she could. The gym had a few fighting areas set up, all of which smelled like sweaty socks and damp skin, so she walked towards one that didn't have anyone there. Now she actually wasn't sure what to do from here, not knowing anyone and all. So she just waited by the arena set up and waited for someone to approach her, at least, to take pity on the clueless fox who didn't seem to know what in the world they were doing. Fritz Shirotora

Fritz was given word about a couple good gyms around the world. He was warned that their appearances may seem deceiving, but they were all good gyms. This was the case when he visited this gym here in the Southern Islands, recommended by a couple people that sparred with him a couple times. He opened the doors, and a couple of the people in front of the doors gave him weird looks, as a man which is almost a foot taller than the tallest man here ducks underneath the door frame. After everyone gives pause to his appearance, they go back to their training regiments.
At first glance, this gym didn't have a very nice environment, as everyone was only focused on what they were doing. Nobody really bothered to say introduce themselves, ask for Fritz's name, or even say hello. He was only given a moments worth of a glance, before going back to their duties. As he was standing near the entry way, he decided to see if there were any interesting people inside the gym, and whether or not its equipment look very good and usable.
The equipment itself looked solid, although the the owner of the gym could have probably spared a couple zenni in order to get himself an A/C unit of some kind. Treadmills looked top of the line, the weight lifting stations looked shiny as all hell, and they even have a ring for different types of sparring. It was all interesting to Fritz, but what was the most interesting facet of the gym was a certain person inside.
It was a furry looking person inside of the gym, who seemed to be doing nothing. That guy looked lost as all hell, as he must have been treated the same as Fritz was when he entered the gym. Everybody acknowledging them, but no one having the gall to help them out.
With a grin on his face, Fritz decides to walk up to the person and say after putting one of his large hands on the furred shoulder, "Hey there friend, the names Fritz. You new here or something gu-... Wait, are you a girl?"
He asked this question seriously, because the shoulder he grabbed didn't have the same definition as a man's shoulder. A man's shoulder would be much broader, denser, and much more square. The set of shoulders she has is much shorter and thicker, meaning that she must be a woman. After whatever answer the furred woman gives him, he decides to ask, "So, you here waiting on someone or something?"

Puery watched the others curiously, not knowing what else to do while she waited for... well, something to happen. Maybe this was just how the gym worked around here, let people figure things out on their own, because she certainly didn't see any instructors around. After all, it wasn't their problem if someone didn't know what they were doing (Until they got hurt), and the fox zoan had to admit her build did make her look more like a scrawny lightweight who would barely be able to lift more than ten pounds at a time, instead of a person who could lift a truck over their head with one hand.
Just one of many pains that come with a naturally tight-muscled lithe build and fur that completely hid it. There's also the 'being mistaken as a dude' thing, but that's not much more than a minor annoyance that can sometimes be really funny.
Through her musing, she didn't notice everyone's attention shift when someone new walked in through the door. Well, she did, but didn't care enough to see who they were looking at. Chances are, that guy was going to ignore her too.
Color Puery surprised when whoever it was actually decided to speak to her. If it wasn't for the fact that she was slightly stronger then him and that his entire manner was friendly, she would have been intimidated by his sheer size alone. Seriously, the man was built like a damn battle tank.
"Hey there friend, the names Fritz. You new here or something gu-... Wait, are you a girl?"
She pretended to think about that for a second "Last time I checked, but you never know, something could have changed." She grinned a bit, showing she was poking a bit of fun at him before he asked his next question, "No one in particular. I just came in here hoping for someone to spar with, but it doesn't look like anyone's interested right now." She glanced towards the others in this gym, who seemed to be completely okay with ignoring the two newcomers again.

After Fritz had introduced himself to the furred female, she would make a joke about something maybe have changing since the last time she checked her gender. This was a funny joke if Fritz ever heard one, and he let out a hearty chuckle, before asking his own question about whether or not she was waiting on someone... And apparently the answer was no, since she flat out told him that she was in here looking for someone to spar against.
With a chuckle and a smile, Fritz could see that this would be a fantastic opportunity to see how someone else fights. I mean, this little lady was wanting to spar with these random guys in this gym, and from Fritz can tell... None of these guys or gals were remotely interested in helping others out with their workouts in the slightest. In that sense, the giant man thought that the referral of this gym was a complete and utter mistake, since gyms should be a place where everyone helps everyone else in becoming the best they can be.
On the other hand, meeting someone as unique as this furred woman, who was looking for a spar with any random muscle head in a gym must be some type of special. He has got to see what she can do in that ring, and maybe see if he can learn any of what she can do in that ring. Fritz walks over to the wall, and grabs one of the largest pairs of boxing gloves hanging off of the rack. As he does this, he says to the woman:
"You lookin' for a sparring partner? I'll sure as hell be that partner for ya, but I gotta know two things from you first. What's your name, and what is your fighting style? Jujitsu, Mixed Multiple Arts, Boxing, Taekwondo, or something I haven't heard of yet?"
He asked this as he would also love to be able to teach her about how to properly fight in a boxing style, as he wouldn't say he was a master at it, but was well on his way to becoming a professional in fighting like one. He would also grab the cleanest pair of sparring gloves off the wall, roughly the same size as the furred woman's, and handed them to her. It would just suck if she was forced to use gloves that were on the verge of being thrown away or filled with lots of sweat.
