I'd Do Anything For Love, But I Won't Do That
[ The past week had been very trying with Spock back, for a number of reasons. Not that he hated having Spock back, of course, but it was an adjustment, and was turning into a personal learning experience.
For one, he was fast figuring out that he was not meant to be a nursemaid of any kind. He didn't have the patience for it, or the beside manner - especially against a Vulcan. Of course he did it though, because Spock needed him too and he wasn't the sort to leave a friend hanging out to dry. But, yeah, sometimes it just made him realize how glad he was his career had turned out the way it had and that he kept far, far away from med bay.
Besides nurse maiding, he was having constant headaches. He figured it was from the link he shared with Spock. In his absence, he had loosened his shields - at first in a attempt to continue to feel for the link, faint with Spock being away from their little bird cage. And now that he was back, he was forgetting to keep himself closed to it. It made for pounding temples, and a part of him knew he would need to start meditating again to gain control.
For the moment though, he had a bit of time free, Spock wanting to meditate, and that being something Spock could do on his own without aid from Kirk. He was fairly sure Nymeria and Arya should be home soonish, but even then he didn't plan to be gone long. Just run some errands, get some air, and come on back.

That being the case, Kirk could be found at the general grocery store, picking up quite a few vegetables to acommodate Spock's return and his dietary choices, sitting by the fountain to enjoy some coffee in the hopes it would ease some of his headache, and a bit later, after checking on Spock, he can be seen working out in the battle dome using the forms he had been taught from his numerous teachers, which had actually started producing an interesting, if somewhat crude, mix style (which was currently being thrown at a sand-filled dummy rather than his usual holo partner). ]
Re: action; battle dome
Well... I can honestly say I have never fought a pony. So why not? I'm all up for new experiences.

[ She faces off against him, taking a wide stance like Daisy recommended. She snorts and paws at the ground, then rushes him. ]

[ He had the sudden image of this being something like a bull fight, except Twilight wasn't a two thousand pound animal. Still, he didn't think he should take her lightly either, even if this was not a fighting style he was used to contending with in the least.
He waited before he leapt the side and rolled, coming up in a defensive crouch, trying to work out what, exactly, Twilight could and would do. ]

Naw, just getting a feel for fighting a brightly colored pony.
[ He smirks and goes back down into a defensive position and motions. ]
Come on then!
[ He would try and meet her this time, get a sense of how much impact she had when she actually hit... ]
no subject
At the last second, she teleports away in a flash of magic and appears behind him, still moving towards him. With her momentum, she runs into his legs, knocking them out from under him. ]
no subject
[ He made a sound and went down, but didn't let his shock keep him from rolling to put distance between him the pony. He pouted at her - though he convinced himself it was a frown. ]
Hey! That's not fair!
no subject
[ She grins at him and paws at the ground again. ] Best two out of three?
no subject
Hahaha, you got it!
[ He grinned and hunkered down, and now knowing she had magic, he scooted back to keep himself as close to the wall as possible, which meant she couldn't do that teleport thing. She would have nowhere to appear. ]
