Bellite’s eyes were bright as she waited for Dresda to meet her in the park. Today was going to be a test of his physical abilities, and then they would go grab something to eat and she would go over quotas and all of the other little things that he needed to know before she allowed him to patrol…mostly on his own. Honestly, she planned on sending Xenia and Wavellite with him for at least his first few patrols, there was safety in numbers, and it didn’t matter that he had very good magic, it was better to be safe.
She sat on the platform of the playground equipment, her legs dangling a few feet above the ground as she waited and lightly twirled her long hair around a finger.
When she felt the presence of a corrupted senshi, the smile that lit her face was genuine. “Dresda? Is that you? I’m over near the slide.”
Now, the real question was if she was going to go down the slide or not…
And honestly? Bellite was thinking about it. It sounded kind of fun, though the fact she was nearly as tall as the slide was long made her hesitate just a bit.

Needless to say, after the last time Dresda was still a little on edge. He wasn't sure what the General had involved this time. He really hoped it wasn't magic testing, again. He just had a bad gut feeling about using it. Not that he could see what it actually did. The look on Bellite's face though was enough to at least fuel some thought.
He twisted the fabric from his uniform in his hand, wringing it this way and that as he walked up to the slide. "Is it really okay for us to be-" His words were cut short as he blinked up here. "What... are you doing."

Bellite tilted her head to the side and decided that she was just going to do what she wanted, and thus slid down the slide with a laugh. “Is it okay for us to be what? At a public park? Absolutely. Tonight it’s about seeing what you can do physically, do you have any experience with any kind of martial arts? Or, are you any good with fighting? I don’t think you’d need to do much, what with your magic, but it’s still good to know how to throw a punch just in case you have to bop someone right in their nose.”
She grinned and stood up, brushing off the back of her skirt, a mixture of annoyed and amused by the way it had caught all of the static from the large plastic slide. “Tell me what you can do, or, if you prefer, show me!”
Holding her hands up, Bellite faced him, still looking calm, though excited. “Punch my palms, Dresda. Show me the strength that you have.”

"I was just going to say 'out here' in general, but I suppose that works too. Isn't there a risk of getting caught?" Dresda asked. Yeah, he had magic but he wasn't sure he'd be much help in an actual fight. The senshi snorted, giving the General a flat look. "Unless you count school bullies and getting shoved into small spaces a kind of martial arts.... Then no. I don't have a lot of experience with it. It also doesn't help that I'm... tiny. I'm pretty sure if we took all the layers I'm wearing, there's more of it then me." Hell, he was sure his hair was now longer then he was tall.
Dresda blinked at her before shoving his sleeve's back. "Just don't be, uh. Too surprised at this when I turn out to be a horrible disappointment." He muttered, throwing a punch at one of her hands.

Bellite hummed softly. “You have to come out for your patrolls, and to fill your quotas, but that will be discussed after this little exercise. Disappointment or not, you’re my responsibility, and I’ll see that you learn, there’s no worry about that, Dresda. I’m not one to let my recruits suffer or be alone or…not have support.”
The words were gentle, but they did hold a promise that even if he thought he was weak now, she would see that he didn’t remain so. “Tiny or not, you can still be strong. My daughter was tiny…and then she grew up, alas.” And now she was nothing more than a horny teenager who always got huffy when Bellite took her away from her girlfriend but…
That was youth for you.
The punch was rather lackluster but the General nodded. “Good. Again, try to hit the same spot, and put some weight behind it, Dresda. Tiny or not, you’re stronger now than when you’re just your normal self.”

"Yeah, but like... Is it better to do this during.. the day? At night? If it's during the day, I might be in trouble then." School might prove to be an issue for patrolling. He wasn't sure how he'd explain those absences.
Dresda huffed quietly. "You sound like my sister..." He muttered quietly. She was always babying him because he was smaller, because their parents were barely around. He really hoped Bell would see him as something else. But, she was a mother, he couldn't entirely fault her for thinking like that, he supposed.
Stopping just long enough to brush his bangs out of his face, Dresda threw another punch. "If you want me to put weight behind it, maybe I should just slap them with my uniform. Seriously... Is this a senshi thing? Or did I just get really unlucky with all these layers?" Though maybe all those layers were for the better. "... I suppose this could double as a weight training thing too? Like, getting use to having to wear all this. ....That doesn't make sense, does it?"

“Whenever you have the time, Dresda. Most go out at night, it’s just easier that way, at least that’s what I’ve found.”
Snorting, Bellite shook her head. “Because I called you tiny? You were the one who said it first, I was just letting you know that even tiny people can be mighty, that’s all.”
She nodded at him, pleased by the idea. “Use whatever you have. Some senshi have more elaborate outfits than others. Xenia has a full ball gown almost. It’s…a lot. And I don’t envy her. But, some have outfits that they can move a bit easier in. It really depends on what your power comes from. I’m sure you could put some scissors in your subspace pocket and trim the uniform each time you patrol, but, that’s up to you. You will get used to wearing it though, I assure you.”
Bellite would make sure that he wore it often, no matter what he wanted.

"I might have to work on it.. I don't know how often I can get out during the day on weekdays." Maybe he could cram it into the weekend?
"Ugh." Dresda sighed. "She tells me I can do all these things, despite my size, but then never lets me do anything. Always jumping up to over take what I'm doing, like I'm going to break at any second." Which he wasn't. "It's just super smothering, and super annoying. Thank god for living on campus." She couldn't follow him there.
Dresda made a face at the thought of having to wear a ball gown. "Gross. I mean, no offense to her or nothing but I would go mental if I had to wear all that. Especially during the summer. Eew." He suppose she was right though. There was the idea of carrying scissors on him.... But if he was suppose to get use to the outfit, cutting it off might not be the best idea in the long run... But it was still something to think on.
"I wonder if I should be going to the gym, or taking some training classes for stuff like this." That way they didn't have to do it in the park.

Bellite brightened. “Going to the gym would be an excellent idea! I think that you should do that, now, come. Let me take you for some food since we had a pretty successful training, and we can talk about what I will expect from you.”
She smiled and shook her head, almost amused by the talk of his sister. “Well, I won’t be jumping in to take over. If you’re in trouble I will help, obviously, but I do expect you to work on your own. You were chosen for this, and I know you’ll make me proud.”
Letting her powered form fade, Emily nodded and tilted her head towards where she knew a good restaurant to be. “My treat.”
