"I am sorry for making this discusion end because of my own inability to cop with emotion. I am Nova, and I bare no title. But I owe you thanks from pulling my mind from disturbing thoughts with this conversations on our on pionts of view. But I am glad to see it end, we both most likely know it would have continued forever. But you are most likely right, and besides, how can one speak on behalf of silence, bliss or happiness if it has never come, or has been lost for such a long while."
She sat back down next to the wall, "You were a Sensei, what act made you renounce your title?"
((Back, sorry, it took longer than I would have liked.))

"It was for a lack of new Knowledge. I was stagnating. I did not wish to be constrained by my title any more then I did with an element. Since renouncing my title I have come across many things that I could not have while holding it. Make no mistake I was not forced to give it up I left it behind me."

"I did not think you were force from your position. I just wanted to know why you step down, pardon me if my words were not clear." She looked at him again, "You were a Sensei and yet I hav not met you befor, well, not hard to believe at all, I meet new people every day. But now that out conversation is over, I cannot think to what to talk about. Meeting a new person is always new because each way you met, and each person met, is always different." She stated as she tightened the mask on her face with one hand, the other grasped the necklace at her neck.

"Agreed, and though I could find a topic conversation for you I doubt you would want to discuss that ring in your hand. It is a pleasure to meet you Nova. May our conversation continue at your leisure."
With that Zen made his way to sit in front, reaching into his vest for a bag of peebles. He placed it at his feet before plopping down crossing his legs.
"But in the mean time why not a simple game of 3-5-7?"

What showed of Nova's face seemed puzzeled. "I do not beleive I have ever heard of that game. I am not much one for playing games and taking up mind to learn them, but now that there is nothing else at the moment to learn, why not. You will have to teach me the rules." She looked at the peebles, Wind Village children used to play this, so did Nina, I never bothered to ask though. She thought as she moved closer to inspect the pieces. "And the ring is nothing for you to bother your self about unless the lives of others is a topic rated high on you list of things to know." She said and tucked the ring back inside the bandages around her neck.

A simple explanation for 3-5-7, "There are three rows of peebles, each has a different amount of peebles, the top has three, the middle 5 and the bottom finishes off with 7. Quote: EXAMPLE* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The purpose of the game is not to take the last peeble. Playing the game you can take as many peebles as you want out of a single row, for example if you want to take an entire row you may like so! Quote: EXAMPLE 1: * * * 2: * * * * * 3: * * * * * * * I will take Row two, meaning that their is only 10 more pieces on the board. * * * - - - - - * * * * * * * If you are the last person to take a peeble you lose. Got it?

"Any row, any number, simple enough. Start, if you will, and I will follow best I can." She said, looking at the stones again. Okay, so it's planning, I will fail, right off, I'm a trickster, my planning comes only on my tricks. She thought as she played different moves through her mind like a chess game. Yosito could win, she even beat Nina at this game I think. Her mind sunk from there into her memory of her vision and her old friend.

Zen took the initiative and removed four peebles from the bottom row, leaving behind the pattern below.

She stared at the pepples, then removed two pepples from the first row, when she was done, it looked as so.

Zen thought for a single moment before removing the last remaining top peeble. Leaving behind only the two rows.

She drummed her fingers on the floor while she thought then removed three peebles from the second (now first) row.

Zen having played before understood the pattern folding out ahead of him. Taking a moment to debate with himself, he took a single peeble off the bottom row.

"Ah, good, I have lost." Nova said as she took a peeble from the first row. "Sorry to say I am no good at games at all." She said, awaiting him to make one more move that would cause her to take the last peeble. She was playing with her necklace again, it was just as much a habit as she rubbing her hands together. She left the patter as so.

Zen smiled, "It's not that you've lost, its just your first time. Think of it like a ninja, you plan your assualt. Sometimes that means you must react to your opponent, the peebles represent resources you can use against your opponent. However all resources are expendable, thus you must plan ahead. And if you happen to lose, oh well. Take your self off the floor, and learn how you lost."
Zen took the last two peebles from the bottom row leaving a single peeble and a single row.

She took the last peeble and rolled it over in her hand, "I take things as they come, setting up traps, or valuable assets as needed, taking in thought that my enemy might be planning something out, but I am a trickster, when I fight, I exscape, my mind is not important while I fight, everything changes." She said and droped the peeble back to the floor. "The first time I played a game with another person I was..." She thought for a moment, " seventeeen years old by human standard time, I lost that game as well, but I don't remember what it was." She finished. "You smile a lot."
