Kliken's eyes widened a little when he was told he was going to be taught how to attack such vulnerable areas... then nodded when he heard that they were only for last resort defense. That made sense, he just hoped he would never have to use such moves... he didn't like the idea of hurting people without cause.
"H-How to attack...?" He asked, lifting a hand to his throat in a thoughtful manner before he shook his head, "Umm... N-No... I g-guess just hitting h-here?" He asked, tapping his fingers against his windpipe. It was a guess on his part but it made sense, if someone got hit there wouldn't it make it hard to breath?
Tural's eyes went wide in delight when he heard a voice from inside, it was telling him to go away but it was a nice and pretty voice! The dragon gave another happy, chirping sound before he set to pushing against the mat he was leaning on in an attempt to get inside to the one with the pretty voice.
Lucrecia rose to her feet and started toward the dragon, reaching out to lay a hand on his head when she reached his side, "Tural, your scaring whoever is in there." She cautioned the dragon. She could feel it, hear the voice of the little one, and she didn't want Tural to collapse the mats in and squish whoever was hiding.

Nodding his head the man showed on the dummey where exactly one should strike, just to give Kilken a clearer idea. "You are right, the windpipe is a rather vulnerable place to strike at. It usually forces your opponent to gasp for air." he continued, he then showed a place near the collar bone met with the neck. "This is a pressure point and if struck can cause a large amount of pain." He indicated by tapping his finger against the spot.
The chirping sound wasn't very reassuring...even if it didn't sound dangerous. She tried to hide her head with her hands in a pathetic attempt at hiding. The matts were sliding around and moving...it meant the thing out there was coming for her.
And...then there was a woman's voice. She peeped an eye open as she heard the voice, the idea of being scared of her overwhelmed by the fact she wanted to be rescued by her instead.
"P..please...h..help!" she meeped out again.

Kliken's brightly colored eyes went a bit wide at that, he then gave a little shiver. He didn't like the idea of either hitting someone windpipe or hitting someone's pressure points but... it seemed at the same time that it was important. If he knew this sort of thing then he would be able to protect himself and Tural if the need arose. Because of that and because he didn't want to risk failing a class the leech boy paid very close attention to instructions.
He even lifted a hand up to touch the spot indicated on the dummy on his own body, to get a better feel for where the spot was locating, "I-I see." He murmured to the teacher, waiting for more questions or information. It was to bad there was no way for them to do this and for him to take notes too... he would just have to do his best to remember everything and write it down after class. Maybe the teacher would let him stay after to help him with his notes?
Lucrecia shook her head then moved closer, nudging the mats apart on the opposite side from where the Cruzoor was sniffing about and peeked inside, "Hello there little one." She murmured, giving the snake girl a soft smile.

He could tell that Kilken wasn't very...enthused about this subject. Not that he blamed the child he didn't really seem like a violent type.
"There is nothing we are going to learn today that will perminantly harm a person. Just cause them enough pain to basically distract them so you can run away or get help." He explained his eyes trailing after Lucrecia as he noticed she was going to his daughters rescue.
He had hoped that Saedah would be a bit more brave...
Saedah looked up at the woman tears in her eyes she reached up to her despite being ...a bit on the large size to be picked up, but it was evident she did NOT want to be on the ground with the dragon thing.

A look of relief appeared on the boy's face, "That's good... I don't really want to hurt anyone badly." He murmured, looking at the dummy. He would feel bad if he did but at least he would know that the things he was learning weren't permanently dangerous.
He looked up at his teacher's eyes and then over to where he was looking wondering what was going on... the flushed darkly though it was hard to see against his already dark skin, "I-I'm s-sorry." He whispered, "T-Tural! Come h-here!" He called to the Cruzoor, feeling a flood of worry that the dragon messing with the mats was upsetting his teacher and he didn't want to get kicked out of the class for that.
Tural turned around to face his boy, the pretty sounding and smelling girl forgotten as he shuffled over to the leech boy.
Lucrecia seemed unfazed by Saedah's weight, easily sweeping her up, "Its alright, hes really just a big baby." She murmured, looking over to where the dragon was at, off to return to the side of the one that he loved the most, "He just... has a bad habit of wanting to love on everyone. My name is Lucrecia, what is yours?"

It seemed that nodding his head was the best way for him to express himself. A limited way, but at least it showed that he agreed/approved. he then looked to the commotion going on in the corner. He went to stand up as he noticed that Saedah was picked up by the woman.
He watched as the dragon came trotting back over to his boy and knew there was no physical harm done but wondered if Saedah was a bit traumatized anyway.
Saedah sniffled as she buried her face into the woman. It was instinct for her to do it. "but but...Ter told me that his dragon would eat me!" she wailed into the woman's shoulder. Convinced all dragons were out to just eat people she was too fearful to think otherwise.
Kuyoja moved over to Lucrecia and Saedah. "I am sorry...this is interrupting out lesson..." He started looking over his wailing daughter wondering how to calm her down.

Lucrecia sent a narrow eyed glare the way of the teacher, "I will take care of things here." She told him, wanting badly to reach out and give him a cuff to the ear.
Saying the little one was interrupting when she was just scared... the woman turned her attention back to Saedah then, "I am not sure who Ter or his dragon are but I can assure you that Tural is very safe, I am sure of it as I wouldn't let anything dangerous around my precious son."
Kliken watched a little unsure and scared now, kneeling down next to Tural as he waited for the teacher to come back, "I... I t-think hes m-mad..." He murmured to the Cruzoor in a worried tone of voice, he felt a familiar prickling of tears behind his eyes and he lifted his hands up to cover them in an attempt to keep from crying... big kids didn't cry, he couldn't cry... he couldn't look weak in front of a teacher who was teaching him to fight!

Taing a deep breath he nodded his head slowly, if she was going to take care of the situation then at least he could finish his glace. Some people would consider it ...unprofessional to bring a child of their own into the class. He only hoped Lucrecia didn't mind.
Moving he went back to Kilken and then gave a slow shake of his head, "Alright lets continue now. Perhaps Tural can...help you find the other points on the dummy?"
Saedah's crying seem to go down a couple pegs to mere muffeled sobs. She had wrapped her coils around the woman's waiste out of comfort, and even as she vaguely took note of the weird taste in the air...she only wanted to snuggle into the woman more.
"...r..really?" she murmured.

Kliken raised his gaze to look up at the teacher, relief flooding his eyes when the man wanted to continue. He pet a hand over Tural's head and murmured, "I-I sorry... h-he's to f-friendly and... I-I will try t-to teach him to b-behave." He whispered, a bit frantically. He didn't want the teacher or anyone else in D-Corp to think that he couldn't handle Tural, didn't want them to take him away.
Tural sat back on his haunches, looking up at his boy then over at the teacher, then at the dummy that they had been working with and shifted in that direction so he could sniff at it.
Lucrecia nodded her head as she moved over to where the seats were located and sat down on one of them, shifting the little bundle of girl in her lap, "Yes, you needn't worry. Its a mother's job to protect her babies and I am aware of what can be dangerous." She glanced over at Kuyoja, Kliken, and Tural, "Hes the least dangerous thing in the room." Though Kliken wasn't all that dangerous either and Kuyoja was still pretty young in her eyes.

Kuyoja wasn't really too ruffled, he was once more at peace as he knew Saedah was being taken care of. He didn't like to see his daughter in distress, but he also wasn't going to coddle her. He turned his attention back to Tural and Kilken.
"Yes little dragonling, help your boy find the rest of the spots." He encouraged.
Saedah sniffeled again as she wasn't entirely convinced. She looked up at the woman with big eyes. "B..but ...i..don't have a mommy..." she whispered a bit nervously. Hugging Lucrecia she wondered what it was like to have a mother. Maybe this woman could be her mother too?

Kliken gave a sound of relief when the teacher just went on with the lesson, unfazed by anything that was going on and the leech boy turned to look at the dummy again. What other spots were there that were vulnerable? He tilted his head to the side as he starred...
Tural sat there, starring up at the dummy as well, looking... strangely serious for a moment.... then leaned forward to catch hold of the dummy's hand and started to chew on it.
The leech boy blinked a couple times then shook his head, "I don't know if that place is one of the points... though I guess if it were hurt someone couldn't attack back well." He murmured.
Lucrecia stroked the girl's hair gently, "Awww, poor thing. I am sure its hard to have to spend all your time with your father but it will help you to grow up strong." She said, glancing over at Kuyoja and tried to guess at what sort of parent he would be.

Kuyoja looked down as he noticed Tural was chewing on the dummies hand. He shook his head slowly as he kneeled down to take the dummies hand out of the dragonlings mouth.
"As much as one would think..it would be rather difficult for Kilken to hurt someones hand. Perhaps you may be able to though. " He explained as kindly as he could muster.
"But you have gotten most of the important points, let us continue then. I am going to show you how to properly strike at someone so that you cause the least amount of damage to yourself..but are still able to inflict enough to your opponent to be effective." He explained as he looked from Tural to Kilken.
"Are you ready?" He inquired giving the small dragon a bit of a pet on the head.
Saedah sniffled into the shoulder of the woman, her mind still wondering if only mothers could protect their children. The idea frightened her somewhat. But she peered over her shoulder to observe her father teaching the older boy. He wasn't scared...but then again...her dad didn't seem afraid of anything.
"...Can...daddies...protect too?" she inquired quietly.

Both Tural and Kliken gazed up at the teacher and both nodded at the same time, curious to see how to attack without hurting oneself. While Kliken wasn't really sure about learning how to attack he wanted to at least be able to do it the right way if he were ever driven into a corner and forced to do so.
"Yes, r-ready." The leech said, turning to look at the dummy.
Tural gave a little chirp of agreement, tail wagging behind him.
Lucrecia looked over at Kuyoja for a long moment before giving a nod, "He seems the sort that can protect their child very well." She told Saedah with a smile, "I have a friend named Than who takes care of Kliken when I can't so I think they can protect."
Not as good as she could but that was partially her pride talking...

Kuyoja turned to face the dummy, although he showed the young leech his hand. Slowly he positioned it so it looked like a gun before tucking his thumb down to hold down his pinky and inner finger. He did it slowly so Kilken would be able to try and mimic if he felt the need to.
He then faced the dummy and deliberately went slowly so that the boy could follow along. He aimed for the base of the throat just above the collar bone. Striking there would cause the person's gag reflex to go into over drive.
He then explained that to the boy and instructed him to try the same move.
Saedah looked to her father in a new light. She had always admired him, but found him sometimes rather scary. Hugging the woman like this...was different than hugging her dad. He always seemed...so ...stiff. but this was ...a nice hug. She really did like it.
"But...c..could you be my mother too?" She inquired knowing it was silly to ask.

Kliken's eyes widened a bit at the demonstration and explanation that he was given. He looked down at his hands and then lifted them up in the same way that Kuyoja was holding his hands and then went through the motions in a slow motion manner a few times to get used to them before speeding up a little, "Is this right?" He asked, looking over at the teacher to make sure he was doing it all right.
Lucrecia looked down at the the young girl she was holding before giving her a smile, "If I could but that is up your Daddy, after all he would need to marry me for that to happen." She giggled, unable to imagine Kuyoja with a wife...
