[ daisy's always been particularly swayed by her emotions. she wears her heart on her sleeve as it is, and heavy emotions have often led her astray as she struggles to maintain an even keel. today, she's mostly angry at herself — which just so happens to be the safest form of anger, as the old adage of "take it out on what hurt you" would just make things worse.
she's mad at herself for getting hurt, annoyed at the state of her still-healing injuries, bitter about not being able to get in the ring today after pushing herself too hard the day before. the fear of falling short, of not being able to keep up with the high expectations she inherited back home, wears heavy on her shoulders today.
don't tell me you're getting soft in your old age, bobbi had teased, but the teasing had stuck. she wouldn't go soft. couldn't risk it. she was already taking enough risks as it was.
the bag she's pummeling suddenly stops short, and it's only when daisy's arm is met with firm resistance rather than the expected sway of the bag that she finally looks up and notices the man on the other side. ]
Keith?
[ he's at least stunned her out of her inner monologue, so ten points to gryffindor on that one. she might have missed his actual words, though, so apologies for that. ]
