Signis was honored he got a bow, even if it was minor and an afterthought... Bellatrix came off as one who valued respect he gave. He slid back into a defensive stance. "This is a defensive stance... I don't expect you to need this much, but it's good to practice, there are some techniques that can only be used from this stance, but we will get to those later, as they're quite advanced, and will require a mastry of the Flame and the Void." He smiled and slid to a neutral stance, letting his sword rest point down in the dirt. "And this... Is the nuetral stance... There is one techinque that can be used from this stance, and this stance ALONE, and I will teach you once you have mastered all the others..." He smiled. "Lady Bellatrix..."

Bellatrix almost missed what he said, but she had the presence of mind to stop focusing on the flame for a moment.
Instead, she listens, and mimics his second stance. Again, it takes her a few tries, and a few moments, before she gets it to where she is satisfied. And then, she moves easily into the last one.
She nods, running the stances through her mind again, trying to memorize them.
With another grin at the tittle tacked onto her name, she asks, "Why need stances?"

Signis chuckled and he ran a hand through his hair.
"Well Lady Bellatrix, stances give you form, form can be followed, and it allows you to better focus your talent and abilites..." He kept in the neutral stance and smiled. "Here... Are there any rocks about?" He asked, looking around and sliding into the defensive stance, but now raising his sword, his eyes becoming hollow once more.

Bellatrix nods her understanding of his explination.
Then, she looks around for some rocks. She doesn't find any big ones in her immediate vacinity, but she does find some smaller ones. She turns to pick up her sheath, and she slips her sword into it, before going back to pick up the pebbles.
"I throw at you?" she asks. But, without a reply, she throws one pebble in Signis's direction.

Signis flicked his blade up quickly, deflecting the pebble at an odd arc, following it with his eyes watching it land near Bellatrix feet. "Yes..." He murmured and nodded, a slight grin slowly spreading on his face. "You catch on quickly Lady Bellatrix, I'm impressed..."

Bellatrix grins, her yellow eyes twinkling.
She throws two of the pebbles this time, with a little more muscle in her swings.

Signis blocked the first pebble, deflecting it a little to the right, the second pebble was quickly pingged off the his blade as he tilted it to the left. "Lady Bellatrix, this form is by no means perfect, had those rocks been larger, I would have had to open myself up to block the first..." He slid into the nuetral stance again and grinned. "Of course, that is if they were larger..." He chuckled.

"You want me find bigger rocks?" Bellatrix asks, tilting her head to the side even as her yellow eyes start scanning the ground around her.
She moves a little, still searching. She finds some that are a bit larger in a pile a few feet away. She kneels down, and holds her long skirt out. She starts to pile some of them in it, and then stands.
Wobbling a little, she returns to her place, and dumps the rocks down. She grins, proudly as ever, and then asks, "Or you want throw pebbles at me?"

Signis chuckled. "Later I will throw pebbles at you..." He smirked and shook his head. "For now... Leave the rocks there, we'll have use for them later..." He had a plan now, he just had to think about it. "First, I want you to master what I started teaching you first, both the flame and the void, and the three basic forms, then I will teach you more..." This was quite the workload all things considered, his father had forced him to learn the Flame and Void first before ANYTHING else.

Bellatrix smiles, almost sarcastically, and says, in a tone to match her smile, "That it?"
She then tilts her head to the side again, and asks, "What next? Or, you done for now?"

Signis smiled and bowed. "Yes, that will be it..." He chuckled and rolled his head. "And, I think that will be all for my visit, today, I shall come by again soon too see how you are progressing..." He smiled and nodded his head, setting his sword back up on his shoulder. "Till then Lady Bellatrix, if I may?" He bowed, knowing that he was on her time not his. "Unless of course, you would like me to stay awhile..."

More internal arguing. On one hand, she enjoys this Pae's company, even if he does have a halo. . . . On the other, she can feel Snakey prowling around her cave, impatiently.
Finally, she decides she will leave it up to him. "I promise Snakey I help look for more snakes today. If you want stay, you can. Snakey just have wait little more." She picks up her little sword and mimics how Signis is holding his, with a polite smile on her face.

Signis debated this for a moment and tapped his chin, He smiled and bowed his head. "I will head home, there is something I want to work on..." He chuckled. "But I will be back soon, perhaps in a day or two..." He chuckled, bowing. "It was good to see you today Lady Bellatrix, till next time..." He kept his bow low then rose, heading off towards home with a smile.

Trixie watches as Signis bows, and then leaves, before she turns to head back to her own cave. When she gets there, she puts her sword away in a safe place, and narrows her eyes at Snakey.
"Well? Get your fat but moving," she tells him, and then laughs as she runs from her cave.
