Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dari was tired of sitting in the back, just providing guidance, and making tech things. He wanted to do more to help. He couldn't fight, he knew that - heck he wouldn't even be able to fight in a pinch - he couldn't even defend himself - he was just a tiny Kitten - so what was he supposed to do?

Well, well those that were in his family - or at least the magical ones trained; trained every day. Hmm he couldn't just train with them - he was a Cat, not a Human - vastly different body configurations.

And where did they get their training? Drew got some from journeying to Etamin his Homeworld and receiving Memories. Dari had no Homeworld and the others, including Drew were not ready to travel or have him travel to their Homeworlds.

Dria and Dani learned a lot of theirs, through Drew. So, who among the Guardian Cats, that he knew, might be able to train him to fight? He finally settled on one and stopped his pacing.

Dari sent out a call through his Communicator to Coco the Guardian Cat. "Hey Coco, this is Darius Ammun. Would you be willing to meet at the park for some Battle Training in a little while?"

Coco might be surprised to learn that her opponent was none other than a tiny Kitten no more than the equivalent of an eight-year-old human. Nevertheless, Dari wasn't one to just give up easily.

Though this was one of his first few training sessions, there was a fierceness in his eyes (only a little nervous), he would do his best,

He got to the park and sat down in the center of the park to wait for her. His tail beat to a rhythm that seemed familiar, and yet so far away. (it's kind of Egyptian/Arabian-esque - if you put more melody to it).

"Dun Dun Don Don Dunn Dunn." He hummed a bit to himself along with it (but his singing is terrible).

Dari was stunned when Coco tackled, but quickly regained his senses. "Yes Ma'am." He blinked and frowned at her comment about taking it as a joke - he didn't know what she was taking about, but he pressed forward, and moved directly into his battle stance he had been practicing a little. "Alright, where shall we begin?"

"Hmm, yes." Darius nodded, understanding. "My Senshi said the same thing - sometimes he gives me a few fighting lessons, when I'm in my Human Glamour. Of course, he has to go a little light on me per our age and size difference - er never mind. Are there other ways to train as well for us Cats? I mean, like I know that Humans have these 'exercises' and 'workouts' they do to strengthen themselves, and they are not always related to fighting, but they do help."

He scratched his left ear with his hind paw. It was his way of saying he was interested in learning more.

Darius was nodding in understanding when he suddenly got distracted by a butterfly fluttering around his head and started swatting at it. Indeed, he was NOT distracted at all - he was waiting for his new mentor to get distracted, and then-- he would strike --- just as she let her guard down - but would it work?

Now was the time. Lightning-quick, Dari turned and lunged at Coco!

Dari grinned and pulled himself off Coco. "Thank you. You did say be ready any time."

He started to dust himself off but realized that in a fight that would an inappropriate waste of time. He stopped, and stopped and straightened and waited for more instruction from his teacher.

There was a voice in the distance calling Dari's name. His eyes brightened with joy. "Hey Coco, that's my Daddy, Drew - aka, my Bonded Senshi! You want to meet him?" And with that the lesson was sadly over, as he dashed off to meet 'Daddy"!
