Daniel was nervous--no, that wasn't true. He was terrified right now--as he stood in front of the doors at Ironhorse Gym. Granted, it wasn't the kind of terror for his life, or even that of getting married (fat chance, that). He just hated going into new places and having to meet new people, his shy nature usually getting the best of him. Still, Singa suggested this gym, and he was growing fond of the older feline.
Come on, Dan, the reindeer thought, closing his eyes and summoning up his courage. Take a deep breath. He felt his chest strain against the button-down shirt he wore. Now go in there and see what the place has to offer.
The moment he walked through the door a large horse that still stood a foot shorter than him approached him. "Hi, welcome to Ironhorse Gym!" the equine said, smiling broadly. Daniel wanted to run right then and there, but he stood resolute. Face your fears, Daniel, he thought.
"Hi," Daniel said a bit too quietly, and he thrust out his hand a bit quick. "I'm Daniel. I was told I should come here and maybe get a membership."
"I'm Max, owner of this place." The equine's grip was firm. Not loose or crushing. Just perfect. "You came to the right place, big guy."
It was then Daniel's attention was caught as a jackal with a fiery red mohawk emerge from the locker room. "Excuse me, sir, but I need to say hello to that jackal."
Max blinked, then chuckled. "He a friend of yours?"
"A friend of a friend," Daniel replied as he moved towards the lumbering jackal. "Uhm, you're Venti, right?"
The jackal turned to look down at Daniel, smiling thinly at the deer. "Yeah, I am."
"I'm Daniel. I'm new to town, and Singa's told me a lot about you."
Venti's smile spread out to reveal sharp, pearly white fangs. "Singa just called me a few minutes ago to watch out for you," he said. "How do you know him?"
Daniel looked down at the floor mats, scuffing his hoof against the rubber. "We're dating."
Venti's grin faltered, though Daniel didn't see it. "Dating?"

Hmm... to give the jackal the benefit of the doubt, this might have less to do with Venti's ego and more to do with Singa not telling him Daniel was his boyfriend when he contacted him. ...if this rolls over the way I think it will, Singa might actually be sabotaging himself. Big if though. Spice of life really isn't my thing.
