Cheom listened, and focused on his words, while she practiced the punching over and over. It took time, but she felt she was getting a hang on the idea of how to target something with her fists. When he stopped that section of the lesson, she bit her lip, and nibbled on it, worrying the skin a little as he told her the next step. So, basically, it was time to try to hit a moving target. "Right. This is what I need to be able to do, because obviously they won't just be sitting there waiting for me to hit them, durhurhur style." She stepped back a little, stretched again, and watched where he was, how he had his arms, and focused on how it had felt to hit the target, the way her eyes and arms had worked together. She did not let herself feel the doubt that was in her, because it was a distraction. Instead, she took three sharp steps forwards, her left arm coming in fairly true for where he was at the moment.

Nix hadn't actually expected her to aim rather well, so didn't try terrifically hard to dodge. Which was, clearly, a mistake if he didn't want to get hit this time, as Cheom landed a hit on him as he slid to the side, causing the boy to let out a grunt. It stung a bit, but not terribly so. He grinned at her, in spite of thinking, always pay attention, self! "Good!" he declared, and nodded. "Now do it again!" This time, though, as she moved in for another punch, he took his own swing at her. Lightly, of course, he didn't want to knock her about too much, just...provide a bit of surprise and off-balance..ness...things. Yeah. Luckily, nobody was reading how he termed what he was doing. Yup. Real lucky.

"Ah! I can't believe I came even that close..." She said in astonishment, as she focused and swung again. And was rather startled when he hit back, since he had not warned her he was going to do so... Since she did not expect it, she did not even attempt to dodge. As such, his hit struck true. Sure, it didn't hurt particularly much, but it was a surprise, and her own attempt at a blow went WAY off target, hitting the air somewhere about a foot to the right of Nix. She made an 'oof!' sound of surprise and discomfort, and danced back, taking a moment to refocus. "Ok... So, getting hit while hitting can make targeting harder. Makes sense, got some fulcrum like physics going on there, so I get it... Another thing to keep in mind, then." And without warning... after all, he didn't warn her... She came in for another hit, trying to aim for his shoulder. Tolin Kalin SORRY FOR THE SLOW finally my muses are cooperating again, some!

Nix took the hit without much of an attempt to get away, partly because he hadn't expected it either, and partly because he simply rolled with it and spun himself to go with the punch. "Hah! Getting the idea, now!" he called out happily. "Always watch, and be ready to move! And don't be afraid to take a hit now and then, or to run away if you need too." He nodded at his own advice. Aria Starstone Sorry for sitting on that so long~ we can probably just skip over the detail of their practice session, since this RP's been open for a while now, lol.

The practice battle between Cheom and Nix went on for a good while, until she was all tired out and definitely needed a break. She stepped back, holding her arms up in the 'I Surrender' pose. "Alright, let's... leave this here for tonight? I need to go rest. I'm not used to doing this sort of thing, and I can FEEL the burn." She paused, and grinned. "I did sign up for a class at school, though, for Aikido. I'm hoping that'll help both my stamina in battle, and my actual skills for the future. Thank you again, though, Nix. Feel free to hit me up for like... home baked cookies or cupcakes or something, if you want, to say thanks. This has been... REALLY helpful. The tutoring offer still stands, this is just... I really appreciate this, ya know?" She moved to the ledge and sat down to take a breather.

Nix, of course, was a bit winded as things wound down, but he'd been doing this sort of thing a lot, so he was in a bit better shape. Still, he grinned at her and nodded. "Of course! Lotta good progress! No reason to completely collapse over it all." He sat down next to her, letting his legs dangle over the edge and kicked gently in the air. "I'm always happy to help," he says with a grin. "Though I can't say no to cookies..." He giggled before going on. "I've been trying to think of a good way to get a bunch of senshis together in a sort of...training camp. I'll bet that'd be real helpful, but," he paused, and shrugged. "I've got no idea where to do something like that. Can't just take a field for a night, because somebody's bound to see that, and ideally we should be able to experiment with superpowers, so stuff's bound to get smashed." He tapped his chin, thinking about the various possibilities he'd considered in the past. "Going to somebody's planet's hard, since only a few can go...and the moon...I'd be afraid of smashing artifacts or something."

"Hey, not collapsing... Just catching my breath!" Cheom said in a faux-pouty tone, and stuck her tongue out at him. "I'm still really not used to this, after all. Gonna need to get used to it." She leaned her head back, staring up at the sky, and the very few stars visible through the city's light dome. "I don't know how much help I'd be with that, being a knight. I don't even really know how we contact each other, to be honest." She made a little face at that. "How do Senshi do it?" His comments about a where had her brows coming together, and then she said, slowly, "What about an abandoned warehouse? If someone can get the keys or something, and have rules in place about not hitting the walls or roof, you'd have a decent sized space with walls to block the views. If it has any windows... Most warehouses I've seen have them REALLY high up... you can always cover them at need? Or uh... see if someone's family owns one, that way it's not breaking and entering." Tolin Kalin IC'ly this happened a few days before she went to her wonder/got her signet, so she doesn't even know they exist yet... And it's gonna be a bit before she figures out how to use it, unless someone tells her.

He nodded. "Of course~" A mention of warehouses had him nodding thoughtfully. "Could work...I think some have money, but I dunno if anybody's, you know, the ones in control of it all." He shrugged. "Anyway. Senshis talk to each other with these," he says, and pulls out of nowhere a frog green smartphone of sorts. "We've all got one, with little apps and communication things and stuff. Knights, uh...I think you guys get some sort of ring thing? You'll need to ask somebody else about how those work. But I think there's a way to talk between the rings and the phones."

Cheom nodded and said "You could ask around, see if anyone knows of such a place that would be available." She stared at the cellphone, and listened, and then made a face. "Y'all get cute smartphones and we get a ring? That seems a touch unfair to me, but who am I to judge, I guess?" She sighed and added "If there's some kinda group message board for Senshi on there..." She gestured at his phone. "You could always post your suggestion there, with the comment about how you want a place for it, maybe mention the warehouse or something?"

Nix nodded and laughed lightly. "Yeah, doesn't really seem fair, does it? I dunno why we get these and you get, uh, jewelry." He shrugged. "Some kind of style thing, I guess? This is all powered by some kind of super old magic thing, and I feel like all the choices didn’t, you know, try too hard to make sense…” “I think I will make another public message to the senshi phones, once I sort out some stuff.” He nodded definitively. A plan. Sort of.

"Well, it is what it is, I suppose." She said, wistfully, and left it at that. "But I hope I get my ring soon, and instructions on how to use it, so that I can contact people I know, like you. Once I do, I definitely think you can contact me if you want cookies or what have you." "Sounds good... And with that, I better get back so I can change back and have time to safely get home. I don't live alone, so I don't dare be to close when I power down." She sighed and stretched as she got up, working to loosen her muscles. "I'll see you again soon, yeah?"

Nod nodded and grinned. ‘Yeah, definitely! I can’t say no to cookies, you know!” He stood up as well and said, “yeah, I understand...can be kinda tricky sometimes, but my parents really trust me, so they don’t really check on me too carefully....still. I think they might worry I ignore them sometimes with how often I sneak out to be,” he paused to strike a overly dramatic heroic pose, hands on hips and all, “a froggy superhero,’ he relaxed the pose then. “But that’s life, right?” He shrugged. “Anyway, good night! Let’s do this again soon! Maybe after you find a ring!” Aria Starstone Fin, thanks for playing with me~
