Welcome to Gaia! ::

Goretti's heart didn't seem to be into it. Quail dropped all his stances and then just watched the other with a sad look on his face.

"You know what?" he asked softly, shaking his head. "Why don't you watch some martial arts tapes... or see if your dad can put you in boxing or ...something similar. Any kind of fighting style will help with blocking. ...I see that you don't want to hurt anyone, right?" He smiled a little brighter at that and ruffled the other's hair.

"While there's nothing wrong with that, it will end up getting you hurt... Some agents out there do not care that you're still very young. They will see you as a threat and try to eliminate you. ...You've got to be prepared. So maybe using your magic and running away is a good thing." His brows knit harder as he took a deep breath and thought long and hard. He was quiet for a long time before he got a determined look on his face.

Chibi shouldn't be fighting. Not really. Children this young shouldn't be brought into a war as brutal as this one. Or any war, really. "...I'll be here most nights. If you want to come and practice your magic with me another night, you can find me here."

Quail's Eye was determined to make some kind of safe haven for all the chibis to either practice their fighting and magic, or to run to if they were in danger in a battle. This was going to take a while, but he had an idea. "Sound good?"

"I haven't. Don't worry." He gave the other a hopeful look and just hugged the boy to him after a moment. He squeezed Goretti and just smiled lightly. "Honestly, though. It's okay. We'll get you strong and able to fight with the best senshi out there."

With that, Quail's Eye pulled away and beamed. "Now, I leave you one last trick I can do." With that, he bowed at the waist and poofed into a small quail. He jumped up and landed on Goretti's shoulder, pecking his cheek lightly before he flew off, chirping to him.
