Nibal glanced over at the narrowest beam. It was a bit daunting. "Uh, I'll try this one again." He'd try to get at least a little better on this one. Plus, he didn't really want to fall again and that other one looked very narrow indeed. He would stick with this one for a while longer, thank you.

Kuyoja nodded his head in approval. He was glad to see that the child was going to try and focus on one beam before trying the hardest one. He would keep timing him until he either wanted to stop or proceed onto the next one.
"That is fine. I will keep timing you as well noting every time you fall. When I think you have reached a respsectable time we will stop and then proceed onto something else." He murmured.

Nibal nodded. "Okay." He crossed the beam again, moving at about the same pace as he'd previously used. The next time he sped the pace up a bit. Then, he tried going even faster, resulting in him slipping and falling off once again. He sighed and got up quickly, grinning a bit at Kuyoja before trying again.
Finally, after a few more attempts, he figured he'd done fairly well at it. "I think I'll try that last one now." He was feeling quite a bit more confidant about the beam he was on, though nervous about that last one...

Moving he nodded his head whilst he stopped his watch as well continued to write down the results. Nibal was a quick learner and persistant. He enjoyed teaching this child. Unlike some he actually persisted in the annoying task of repitition.
"Good. Please take your time on this one." he warned as he did not want to see the child fall and really hurt himself.

"Okay." Nibal stood on the beam for a moment, trying to adjust to the narrower beam while stationary at least. After a few long moments, he slowly started forward. It was good he'd started slow, for he almost fell twice before he could finish walking the entire beam. At the other end, he stopped and glanced back at the beam. This one was hard! But, he was going to get better at it!

Kuyoja did was he did best, joted down the boys time and then looked up at him. "Very good. I am glad you see the value of practice as well patience." He commented before waving his pencil a bit in the air.
"Now...how do you feel about doing it again? This time a bit faster? once done this trial I feel perhaps Ihave a take home assignment for you to practice...this one won't involve you ...scaring people." he explained.

"I can try again." He glanced at the beam again, taking a few deep breaths before starting again. He tried to move faster and not fall at the same time. Not exactly easy. His foot slipped once, but he managed to do a little arm waving and keep his balance on the beam enough to finish.
Another take home assignment, huh? Well, at least this one wasn't scaring people, so maybe his dad would let him finish it...

Kuyoja nodded his head in approval as he jotted down another note on his piece of paper before flipping the page up and quickly jotting down the take home assignment.
Taking the slip of paper he moved to hand it to Nibal. "I want you to try and practice moving along narrow beams. Even if you just try on a log or a piece of narrow brick work. Just please make sure to be safe. I don't want to hear from your guardian that you broke your leg trying to do it from a tree branch." He explained as he handed the paper to him.
"I want you to have your three best times written down and your guardian to sign it when you are done." He continued with a nod of his head.

Nibal grinned as he hopped down from the beam and over to the instructor, taking the assignment. "Alright!" He'd have to find some areas to practice, but surely his dad would be happier about this. Right?? "Thanks!" With a grin, he headed towards Kal. "C'mon, Kal. Let's go!"
