"Seph didn't want to speak with me either." And I'd bet money I know why.
Nyl tilted her head curiously. "You want to do something to help people? ...Teach me to skip rocks."

"..."
It seemed Kaimen's motor functions had ceased a great while ago. And there he lay, at a far corner of the forest face down, seeming dead.
"..zZz.."
He was asleep. A small spark of white flashed around his body, his chakra had finally activated itself again. Little did he know, so there he slept.

She looked at the ground becoming shy.

"Well, we all started with having never done it. ...It can't be that hard, right? I mean...everyone else I know can do it. ...Rocks, I mean."

Reeve rolls over, waking and sitting on the edge of his bed. A ball of electricity hovers dimly over his palm, faintly lighting his side of the bed. He stifles a yawn, and,stretching, looks over at Iri with a smile.

"well i never really got taught how i just did..... i guess i can try.."
She stood up and found a large ammount of rocks from walking around and brought them over.
"ok... well first... put your arms straight down at your side.... the upper part of your arm should not move to make it skip, if so you are doing it wrong. So pick up a rock. "
She waited for a moment thinking of how to explain it.
"then you should have your bottom portion of your arm making an L with the rest of your arm. After that you bring your shoulder back and the lower portion of your arm and your wrist back and then flick your arm towoards the pond stopping when your arm is at the L shape again and your wrist will continue on it's own giving it the spin to go far and then it will skip." She said hoping she explained it right and then skipped one.

Nyl picked up a rock. The instructions sounded simple enough...but...
So she threw it. It made a heavy 'plunk' noise as it broke the surface of the water and sank to the bottom.

mai looked at the ground not knowing how to explain it now and scratched her head. She stood behind Nyl and got an idea.
"you mind if i do something i promise i won't hurt you?" She said quietly to Nyl.

"Brains..." *HACK, COUGH!* "My BRAIN!!!"
Kaimen yelled, gripping his forehead. Standing to his feet, he looked at his surroundings.
"Where Am I?" Suddenly his hearth throbbed ferociously.
"Looks Like It Happened...Gah..." Falling on one knee, he began panting.
"I'll just go to the Tsuchi Dojo for now..."
Soon after he phased back into the ground.

She put her hand around and on nyl's stomache.
"your hips shouldn't move.... only your arm if you use your body you are just throwing it. You need a quick, strong flick the way i said and showed." She said taking Nyl's arm and moving it slowly to show her the motion without her having to move her body.
"now try." She said backing away and throwing another rock skipping across the pond.

Nyl nodded, picking up another rock. After taking a minute to think it through, she tossed it. It skipped twice.
"...Awesome."

"see you got it after all, you were just moving your body with it taking the spin off." She said smiling a bit and then went back to sitting down where she had been against the tree.

She picked up another one and tossed it...and it didn't skip.
"Hmm. Guess I need practice."
