Kale took a breath and grinned slightly and prepared. Then she took her chance, moving and kicking the tree with force that she didn't know she had. "Hyah!" Came out loudly as her foot hit the tree. The bark on the tree broke off and crumbled to the ground, leaving a large indent in the tree's base. She turned on Burgess and looked for approval; that she saw as he gave her a thumbs up. "Well Kale. You did what I asked, I'll send Laffite your way. If you ever want to learn anything else. Come see me again." He said seriously. He waved slightly as he turned away. "Stay here!" He called and then walked off. Kale sighed and sat down awaiting to see if the other would hold up his end of the bargain.

"Wake up, sleepy head." Came a sing song voice. Kale whined and slowly opened her eyes to see a man standing over her twirling a cane between his fingers. "I was told you wanted me to teach you my ways," He hummed; almost like he was trying to lull her to sleep with his voice. Kale slowly sat up. "You must be Laffite." She pointed out, stretching and standing up. "You're a quick one." He said pointing the cane at her. "So, you want to learn something from me?" He smiled at her. "Yeah, I was wondering if you could teach me all you know." She batted her eyelashes at him; sweetly. "Very well, we'll start with 'Soft Step'."

Kale looked up at him and smiled, stretching slightly. "Sounds good." She seemed pleased by this mans personality. He was also kind of funny looking; which made her smile slightly. Moving, she stood up. "So, how does this work?" She questioned him with interest. He gave her a grin, tipping his hand towards her. "Watch carefully." His high pitch voice came. He grinned and stepped forwards, disappearing. Kale watched with enthusiasm, it was a lot like stealth walk it seemed, but it seemed, at least to her much more quiet. Quiet was good. Quiet she could work with. Especially with her Suke Suke powers.

The man re-appeared and smiled at her. "You think you can handle that?" He questioned her, twirling the cane between his fingers comfortably. Kale nodded her head, "Yes; I think I've got it. Should I try it?" She questioned him, raising an eyebrow. "Yes, now; while you do it, remember to think poise, grace, and quiet." He told her with a quick, almost flirtatious wink. Kale nodded a bit and prepared her move, all the while trying to think poise, grace and quiet. It wasn't working out to well in her favor though. Kale tended to be the type that tripped over her own feet, or in some situations. Just air.

She took off, stepping forwards and going quickly. She was a bit louder than she was supposed to be but after a few moments, she got the hang of it, and slowly Laffite couldn't hear her anymore. He paused, she was tire soon; he was sure. Though he was very proud. She'd caught on quick and he was sure she could handle his next move. Like he planned, Kale finally re-appeared. She was panting and out of breath. "That." She began, "Was amazing!" She said excitedly looking to him. He grinned slightly, "You think that's fun, wait till we get to the next one." He told her seriously.

Kale bent over, her hands on her knees and she tried to come down from her euphoric high Soft Step had left her with. "Sit Sit." He offered waving his hand with a smile on his face, dipping his hat low, as he moved around her slowly. Looking over her form. She was lithe, small and she seemed to be rather agile. She was the perfect type for this move. He liked that. He felt like he saw a bit of himself in her, and it was flattering. "Hmmm.." He hummed as Kale relaxed. "It was a pleasure to meet you, and I'm glad I'll get to teach you my other move." He offered. Kale nodded softly and stood. "I think I'm ready to go."

"The only difference, between this move, and that move is the silence." He told her with a pleasured smile. "You got quieter as you were trying regular soft step, advanced soft step is nearly if not completely impossible to track." He told her with a grin. "You think you can handle all of that?" He questioned her, though but it was merely to seem polite, he intended to teach her wither she thought she could handle it or not. He knew she could. Kale smiled a bit and nodded quietly. "Yeah," She replied simply. It was probably the most serene she had ever seemed, but he made her feel calm, mellow even.

He stretched slightly, twirling the cane. "See you in a bit." He promised and stepped forward. He was gone, she couldn't see him, nor could she hear him. It was intriguing; not only that it was amazing, not to hear the sounds of him going. She looked around, wishing she could catch a glimpse of this man. She waited, sitting down after a moment. Still slightly fatigued from the first technique. She was running her poor body ragged and at some point she would next to relax, but...she figured rest was for the weak and she wanted to be as strong for the crew as possible, and if that meant all work and no play. She'd deal.

Moments later he reappeared. He didn't seem tired or wore out at all. It was amazing to Kale. Laffite smiled at her. "Lonely?" He questioned her with a raised eyebrow. She laughed slightly and shrugged relaxed. "Just tired and amazed." She told him. "Believe me," He began, "You'll see many more amazing things in your life." He told her seriously and waved his cane. "The trick," He began to explain about the move; "Is control," He told her. "The whole time you're using this move; you need to never loose control of your movement. Because as soon as you do, you'll loose it." He told her.

"This move, could save your life." He told her, taking on a almost grim tone. "So save it. Respect it." He told her. "Practice when you can, and learn control." He continued, "Only then will you have completely mastered it." He said, holding out his hand to help Kale off of the ground. She took it and allowed him to pull her. "Now, I will run with you. Then you will go alone so I can listen to you." He told her. "Ready." He still held her hand. She nodded quietly. "Ready, and..." He paused and smiled over at her reassuringly. "Go." They both took their first step together, and it was amazing the movement.

They moved together, and she felt the wind around them as they moved. It was exhilarating, but it all came to a stop too soon. He caught her as she almost fell off balance. "Balance." He winked at her and pat her back. "Take a breath and show me what you have." He told her. Kale did as she was told; taking a deep breath she closed her eyes. After a moment's rest, she glanced to him and smiled, stepping forward and disappeared. He listened, she was good. He was proud. He couldn't hear her, and he'd known this move for a long time now. He paused and continued waiting to see if she'd fall. She didn't. She re-appeared minutes later.

He clapped and twirled his cane. "That was very good Kale." He praised, "Now remember what I told you." He told her seriously, looking over her. "I hope that you have the best of luck in everything you do, and what I've taught you today, will help you." His tone had returned to the tone, he held when she met him. A sing song. She smiled, his tone made her sleepy, but there was no time to sleep; she knew. "Thank you." She offered to him as he turned and started walking away. He turned back a moment and nodded his hand in her direction. "My pleasure." He smiled and twirled his cane as he walked away from her. Kale took another breath and shook her head. Time to head back to the ports. North Blue. Here she comes.

Rednal returned from the Jungle. It was really about time for him to continue training, before he headed off for more interesting places. He chuckled quietly as he focused his mind and took a deep breath, then looked up and narrowed his thoughts. He was tougher than ever, but he really needed to keep going. With that thought and done, Rednal stretched and began to kick rapidly forwards, ready to do what it took to get ever more powerful.

Rednal smoothly transitioned into a series of punches, his arms moving rapidly in and out in order to exercise his body and help keep him fit. He had more important things to do than to focus on the small, minor details, but he did need to be sure to keep his body in shape, especially in the dangerous time where he was still getting used to the changes in his body. Rednal's breathing remained steady as he worked his body through its exercise routines.

Rednal moved from rapid punches back to rapid kicks, and instead of staying in one spot, alternated legs and smoothly moved forward, spinning around as he did so. It would be a relatively hard move to block, actually, since they'd have to constantly switch defensive sides, and if he ever actually kicked twice on the same side, it'd probably go right through their defense. Maybe he really should make that into a technique sometime, but not just yet.
