Yeah, blame it on Vash. Maybe if he had meditated he would have calmed his brain enough to not be distracted.

Haha, Vash is so distracting! Silly boy doesn't even know it. Poor Livio, all he wants to do is work out! XD

o-oHhHhhhhh
*making gasping happy sounds*
J-JASPER
Y-YOU
*croaks*
HNNNNGGGGGGGGGG.

Okay, I'm more coherent now. OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS. Wah. WAH. This is so polished. I love the way you've gotten into Livio's head, it rings really true to me. Him losing count, berating himself, admiring Vash, losing count again. Being genuinely curious as to the logic of Vash's training, and his philosophy. Vash smiling enigmatically and answering just because.
All the little observations in this scene made me smile. How heavy Vash's bag is, his weird way of training in the mornings. Livio's own training being different from Vash's.
The very fact that they trained together for a morning made me squeal like a five year old - the image is so heartwarming! My heart hurts from how happy I am, augh. You're amazing Jasper. Thank you so much for writing this!

Hnnngg, two hot studs exercising in the same room? Be still, my heart. (Though, canonically, this would probably not be easy on the nose! Must be all that alcohol...)

Interesting thoughts on exercise styles. I can totally see Livio losing count, you don't get that /ripped/ by cutting corners. He must be ecstatic that senpai is finally noticing him XD. About Vash's work out routine, I'm still not sure I fully understand what the rings exercise is for. Or how it's even possible to do one-armed push ups from a hand stand position. Still, it's always nice to read such detailed and accurate references to the manga. Keep up the good work!
