{Christy's Workout Outfit}

Firstly, Christy spars on a free-standing punching bag, punching and kicking, wearing a pair of her boxing fingerless gloves.

Secondly, she gently jumps rope and does a few push ups.

And lastly, she does her workout routine again with her daughters observing her, making sure she doesn't overexert herself.

"Okay, Mom. Break from workout routine." Luna said, setting up a timer on her phone for five minutes.

"Alright, thanks, sweethearts." Christy thanked her daughters.

"You're welcome." Luna and Trinity both said in unison.

Later on that day, Christy, Luna and Trinity are sitting on a bench, crossed-legged position, eating their yogurt parfaits with spoons.

"Dad said he's gonna visit later on to check on you." Trinity said to her mother.

"Okay." Christy said.

"And also, Dad said to be careful about overexerting yourself with your stomach wound too." Luna added.

"Okay." Christy said.

"Hey, you guys." Ana greeted them, walking inside.

"Hi, Ana." Christy greeted her.

"I got you your usual caramel latte and a Danish." Ana said, with a takeout bag.

"Thanks, Ana." Christy thanked her.

"You're welcome, BooBabe." Ana said, sitting on the bench with Christy, Luna and Trinity.

Christy takes a sip of her medium-sized takeout coffee cup of caramel latte.

Ana and Christy exchange smiles at each other.

"You're a damn good warrior, Christy." Ana complimented with a smile.

"Thanks, Ana." Christy thanked her.

"You weren't holding back, were you, Little Enchantress?" Klaus asked.

Christy looks at her husband, Klaus, and small smiles at him. "Hey, Honey. And I wasn't holding back."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. And she exits the fighting cage ring.

"Hope you're taking it easy on yourself." Klaus said to Christy.

"I am. Luna and Trinity has been helping me with my workout routine." Christy said to him. "And with the duel tournament this late afternoon, I have to prepare myself."

"I know, just be careful." Klaus said.

"Yes, sir, Mr. Klaus Mikaelson." Christy said to her husband, with a playful smile.

Christy takes a swig of her thermos mug of kale smoothie. Ferret gently climbs up onto the dining table.

"Hey, Ferret." Christy greeted the Ferret, and gently soothing its head, in which it relaxes itself. "Ferret is a cute little pet."

"He plays around with his popsicle house." Luna said.

Christy's wrist comm buzzes on her right wrist. She presses the "Answer" button. And a hologram of Cyrus pops up.

"Hello, Niecey. Will you be participating in the duel tournament at the arena at Mount Orasani this afternoon?" Cyrus asked.

"I will be participating, Uncle Cyrus." Christy told her Uncle.

"Alright, then. I will see you here in the afternoon." Cyrus said.

"Yes, sir." Christy said, and she hangs up her wrist comm.

"I like the wrist comm thing." Luna said.

"So do I." Trinity said.

"Yeah, I do too. It's pretty cool." Christy said.

"Talbot?" Christy said to him.

"Well, look at you, the Legendary Christiana." Talbot said.

"The last time we spoke, we didn't get a chance to resolve things between us. I know you're pissed off because of Aethna, and I'm really sorry." Christy told him.

"I don't want your pity, Christiana. And don't think because we're buddies and have a friendly-rivalry, won't change anything between us." Talbot said to her.

"You're still an asshole." Christy said.

"How's your injury?" Talbot asked with a sly smirk.

Talbot and Christy exchange slight tense looks at each other. And he walks away from her.

"Mom?" Trinity said.

Christy looks at both her daughters, Luna and Trinity. The three of them shares a hug.

"Hey, you guys." Christy greeted her daughters and husband.

"We wanted to see you before the duel tournament began." Klaus said, and glances at Talbot. "Everything okay with Talbot?"

"Yeah, everything's fine. He knows about my injury." Christy said.

"How so?" Klaus said.

"I'm a lot tougher than that, Mikael." Christy said to him.

"Christy?" Klaus said, along with Elijah.

Christy glances at her husband and brother-in-law. "I'll let you guys handle it."

"Really? Are the two of you gonna duo against me?" Mikael nonchalantly said.

"Stay away from my wife or I'll kill you." Klaus threatened Mikael.

Mikael chuckles to himself. "You know, I'm not surprised that Christy is determined to fight given her stomach injury, Niklaus. She could die in your arms again."

"You love to hear yourself speak, don't you?" Elijah said.

And then, Ames and Nadia slowly approaches Klaus and Elijah.
