Welcome to Gaia! ::

Indeed, it was Lian. He was rather relieved that this was a one-on-one session and that he didn't have to be ordered to beat the snot out of some girl. No matter how aggressive she was. When Dagger had been told, she had given him a Look and just patted him on the head. Rakha, for his part, had just smirked.

He shoved his way in and paused when he saw what teacher it was. ...augh. But he just made a face and pushed it further open, Xiao sliding in with him.

"Are you gonna make me punch a girl again? My mom looked at me like I was an idiot when I got home but if I had just whaled her, she would've smacked me when I got home."

That's right, Lian. Immediately remind him who you are and what you didn't do. Xiao just rolled her eyes.

He is not very smart, my boy. Kuyoja wouldn't understand her but, hey. It wouldn't hurt.

That tone made the skin under the white fur go a dull red. He was rather immature and, yeah, he knew it, but to have it pointed out was something brand new. Besides - the guy had a huge tattoo. He could be a gangster! While that would be kind of cool, it was still rather scary.

"Ah - no. I think I can handling the attacking the dummy. There aren't any bo--Girl bits on it." He switched his language abruptly. No swearing in front of adult! 'Boobs' wasn't technically a swear word, he supposed, but it was still kind of inappropriate. He hopped back and forth from foot to foot, tail swishing cheerfully as he eyed the dummy.

Quick as anything, he was flicking with Kuyoja towards the dummy. "Like - karate chopping with my hand to it's throat? Poking out her eyes? Is it true that with six pounds of pressure to the temples, you can crush a persons skull?"

He paused.

"Can I learn that?"

Whether Kuyoja believed it or not, Lian had been attempting a lame sort of joke when he had talked about the girl bits. He wasn't very good with that whole joking thing; Lian wasn't altogether the best when it came to socializing with people who weren't in his immediate group of adrenaline-junkies. Kuyoja was way too serious for his tastes.

Still, he grinned and wriggled his fingers cheerfully. "Maybe I could start punching walls like that chick from Kill Bill and learn how to do that." He chirped, giving Kuyoja another wide grin.

"Alright, so what do I do for the simple technique thingamajig?"

Poor teacher. Lian had been trying to joke around, to make some sort of mockery out of his own hesitations in the last class. But, apparently, his teasing was lost on the other male. Oh well. That's alright.

He sighed at the lack of reaction from his words, but raised his hands in order to follow the other. Lian looked down at his hands once they were properly in place, and studied them with a little frown. Another little flick and he flexed the middle and index finger. "Why's that? Are the other two so weak that they'd break or is that whole 'more pressure on small place makes bigger boom' sort of thing?"

"I feel like Ryu of the North Star or something." His voice was a mutter, more to himself then anything, and he just stared down at the teacher. Lian was a bit tall for his age and lanky, so he wasn't quite sure what was going on. Was he going to have to call for an adult? This is something Dagger talked to him about.

'No means no' and things like that.

But he was obediant, and tapped his fingers against his throat as ordered.

"Do I just shove as hard as possible or pull it or..." He blinked at the teacher again, nose wrinkling up. "And the throat's a small target to aim for - can I aim from the side and still have the same thing happen? Or does it gotta be face on? Or - oooh! Can I put the person in a neck-hold and just jam it into their throat from behind. A reach around sorta thing?"

"And aiming to hit the nose up is only allowable if I want them dead, right?" That was said in a suddenly serious tone. "My father told me that one. Only hit the nose down or two the side unless you need them to die. Does the sleeper hold kill them? That's the arm around the throat thing, isn't it?"

"Hey - D-corp gives us dragons. Does that mean they want us to kill people with them? Is what why they make us take self-defense and magic classes? Cause I don't want to kill people."

He paused then, and grinned. It was goofy. "Okay. So, neck hold. It immobilizes. And if I jab here," He tapped the same area on the jaw where Kuyoja did, "It screws with them. So is the neck, like, the easiest place to aim? Cause of air and nerves?"

"Why would we bond with them if there wasn't a reason for us to bond with um, though? I love Xiao and all," She gave a pleased hum at that, "But if I'd never known her, I wouldn't want her at all. Right? And dragons have to be expensive to keep. So I was just wondering."

He shrugged carelessly, allowing Kuyoja to take that as he wanted, and just shrugged at the dummy.

"Can you teach me where to punch to make someone throw up? Or, like, I dunno. Get them on the ground without putting them in danger of death. If someone was going after Emi or something, I'd totally beat their a** until they couldn't move, but if they were just going after me and I didn't want to kill them... What would I do?"

Lian made a face again, and looked to Kuyoja.

"I'd totally hit a girl now, though. I went home and told Dagger what happened and she totally kicked my a**. Said that if I had to hit a girl because she was going after me, it was alright. She was kinda beat on when she was a kid, see, and she pounded it into my head when she took me in that if I ever hit a girl, she'd hurt me. And I like girls. So. Uhm. Yeah, just thought I'd bring that up."
