Welcome to Gaia! ::

Upon finally resting from the training on Orange Village; Kale decided it was time to set off again. More training to do, little time for partying. Thankfully (at least to Kale) running into the wall hadn't marred her beautiful face! Deciding where to go next wasn't hard. A chef's paradise was obviously her next stop. Would have been her first, but to be honest; she was a bit nervous (something very unlike her) she didn't want to go around there; with no skill; and get the boot. Once she had arrived she had taken in the scenery, a large smile on her face. Looking around she found who she was looking for; a serious looking man with a funny looking beard and mustache combo. She tried not to laugh at that, but approached the ever mean appearing man.

"Hello!" She said, popping up next to the man who wasn't frightened at all; though he did seem to shadow over her as he turned to the insolent girl that had approached him. "Hmm?" He questioned her. Kale smiled at him sweetly, pushing past his mean demeanor. "I want you to teach me your amazing kick techniques!" She clapped her hands together. "Please?" He stared at her for a moment. "...Come along." He spoke with low tone;

"We'll start with something simple. My Lethal Kick." He told her. She followed after him, and upon their arrival to the spot where he intended to teach her. He simply shot his leg out, with a force that she realized would have broken a wall; had it connected.

"Now, Repeat."

She seemed eager; but then again Kale was always eager and excited to learn new things, even if they resulted in her face planting a wall. She rubbed her forehead unconsciously as she watched Zeff. He positioned himself; though he hated having to take it slow, so that someone else might learn his move. "Watch." He was very quiet, it seemed and when he did talk; Kale didn't think he really appreciated being bothered by a girl like herself. He moved his leg up, and then another kick down.

"You see?" He questioned; repeating the action at full force.

In motion, they moved and she copied him. Quick kick upwards, face kick. She could imagine it. Recoil and kick to the stomach. Her movements were a bit slower than he, but it was to be expected. He turned on her. "Alright," He paused a moment and realized she'd never formally introduced herself. Kale caught on, "Oh!" She blushed darkly in embarrassment. "I'm Kale Denton." She introduced and he nodded at her, "Alright, Kale..." He continued what he had started. "I want to see you do it alone; against me." He announced and she stared. "Well come on, you've got a lot more to learn, and I don't have all day!"

"The next thing you will learn Kale, is how to make others prone to more attacks. It's a quick uppercut; that will allow you to take advantage of them." He told her. Kale wished she had a pen and paper to write all of this down. However, she nodded. "Alright, uppercut." She said punching the air. "No you stupid girl, it's a kick." He told her. Blinking she tried to figure how that would go. "Oookay!" She said after a moment and smiled largely. "You will learn it like, you learned the last thing. I'll show you, we'll do it together and then you will attempted it on me." He spoke slowly, like Kale couldn't understand him; but she nodded. "Okay!"

{1/4; Kick Uppercut}

"Get over here, Kale." He told her. She rushed over, bouncing with pure amazement. This man could do impossible things with his legs; she was thrilled to be learning from him! He positioned himself. She mimicked him, in front of the box. Once again, he showed her the motions slowly. "Go." He spoke and she did as she was told. Copying the actions, hitting the box, and knocking it into the air. She repeated the actions, he showed her; the next ongoing attacks, mostly of her choice, and caught the box. He looked over her. "Least you're a fast learner." He remarked and stood in front of her, with a raised eyebrow; completely ready for her failure.

{3/4; Kick Uppercut}

She heard nothing, but then saw him coming at her. "The next lesson is a 6 kick attack, which always starts with an uppercut!" He yelled, fire burning in his eyes (at least, to her it looked like fire). She squeaked eyes widening, was he going to hit her? He stopped before he reached her, and in a flurry of motion preformed a sequence of attacks, she recognized the first as the motions for the uppercut, and then the rest seemed like blurs of something impossibly fast. He landed from the attack and looked at her. He looked almost bored, as if showing this girl something so simple; was a waste of his time; and...well to him it was. "Simple, right?"

{1/6; 6 Kick Combo}

Her eyes were large, widened in amazement and adoration. "That was so cool!" She said after a moment of silence, clapping her hands together. Something, it was obvious; that she did when she was pleased. "I get to learn that?" She asked him. He stared at Kale a moment and towered over her, glaring down at her. "Do you think I would show you, if you weren't?" He questioned, and it felt like his voice boomed throughout her soul to Kale. "No?" She replied, a large smile on her face; though she was facing such a scary man. A scary man that was teaching her, she had to tack on at the end. If he hadn't been teaching her, where else would she go?

{2/6; 6 Kick Combo}

He turned to her, "You think you got all of that?" He probed; though it seemed to Kale that if she told him, she hadn't; he wouldn't show her again. So she nodded, with a large smile. She had some of it, and she would get it, if it took her all day. Though she wasn't sure if he would stick around and wait that long. Probably, not. He seemed like a busy man. He was so angry too; Kale had noticed. Maybe he was tense. Maybe he needed a back rub. Yes! Everyone loved back rubs! She would offer him one in exchange for his services! She was good at them too, it was just like massage spice into meat, right? Right? She waited for an inward answer, but none came.
