::After a few minutes of silence outside, the stillness is broken as a large tree begins shaking slightly, a loud snap resounding through the woods, followed by the trunk of the tree shaking, and several lower branches rustling wildly. It is only a moment later that a heavy thud can be heard at the base of the tree, and a few small forest creatures scurry away in surprise.

A huge figure stands up, dusting himself off and sighing. Turning and stepping out of the shade and into the mid-day light, it is revealed to be Sir Aaron, who frequently finds shelter in trees. Unfortunately, he sometimes picks less than durable branches, and his great weight, along with the even greater weight of his Tetsudama sphere weapon, give him a rather rude awakening as he hits the ground yards below.

His hands and tail working together to clean off his pants and shirt, he does a good job, looking decent as he approaches the building. He already recognizes the girl inside, though they've only met briefly, once. He has his ways. Bending down under the nine foot doorway, his huge hands reach down and turn the knobs, and he walks through after opening the doors. Once inside, the Knight truns to shut them quietly, before standing straight and turning to face the rest of the room.

Glancing off to his right, he sees the young Saiya-jin Jade at the bar. Walking his way over, his strides long and heavy, Aaron stands ahead of the bar, dropping to his right knee, and resting his forearms over his raised left knee. The tall Hykanan bows his head low in a greeting to the fair girl, his long hair, still tied, falling over his right shoulder.::

Good day, Miss.

Indeed. I don't believe we 'ave been formally introduced...

::The tall Knight then lifts his head, his green eyes gazing across the bar counter at Jade's, similar in color. He pauses a moment, his gaze unwavering, before smiling warmly to her.::

...but I suppose the time 'as come and gone. It 'as been a while since I 'ave seen you. What 'ave you been up to, might I ask?

::Shifting his right leg under him slightly, Aaron drops from a knelt position to a seated one, sitting on the floor with his left knee still raised, and his left arm hanging from it.::

Oh?

::The Knight's eyebrows raise as he hears the girl's answer, thinking to himself silently for a few moments, a she answers her question.::

No thank you...I can get something later.

::He nods a few times with the smile from before returning to his face. After pausing for a few moments, he returns to the previous topic, lifting his right palm from the floor and intertwining his fingers with those of his left hand.::

You say you're training? For what, if you do not mind telling me?

The drive to protect is a powerful one. Whether it be to protect yourself, or another, it can allow one to harness abilities or powers they knew not they could accomplish. Though, I 'ave seen even that not be enough at times. One mustn't only protect, but take into consideration what they are protecting from.

::The Knight takes a deep breath as he glances away from the girl, a thoughtful expression on his face. He releases the breath in a heavy exhalation, stretching his neck muscles slightly by tilting his head far to the right, his eyes finding Jade again. His eyes widen slightly in curiosity as he notices Jade rubbing her hand, straightening his neck and looking at her, at nearly eye-level, even when seated at the floor.::

Is your 'and hurting, young Miss?
