Thirty-second Lotus

[spandexisyouth]

I am sorry if anyone has missed me. I did not mean to get injured. But I am recovering! And clearly I am better; they have let me have my journal back! And it is not because I kept asking.

I think I am going to step up my training. I need to. This means that if there are others who would like to learn and train, I could take on more students! When I am doing better. I am not completely back to normal. But I am close enough! I will be back to normal soon!

The wilderness is very nice, for those who have not seen it yet.

It is very dull. And it is not like I can push myself much. Yet.

Er--I don't know the differences yet.

[spandexisyouth]

That is all right. There are a lot. Do you want hand-to-hand training, or is there a weapon that we can very slowly and carefully work with?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, ...I'll come up with a suitable challenge for you. One that requires the right amount of effort considering your current condition.

[ice_echani]

I am glad to see your writing again. How are your injuries?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

So?

[*sigh* So troublesome. He's not going to come help you, Gai. You want to do this, you have to do it yourself.]

[spandexisyouth]

I am glad to write again. It is good to see yours too, Handmaiden!

[The pen rests here for a few moments.] Are you asking as a friend or as someone in authority over me?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Get him a padded version of the nunchuck.

No, but seriously, start by training his coordination and building strength.

[spandexisyouth]

I would be glad if you were nice!

[That's actually how he wants it, even though it'll take him some time. He wants to make it back under his own power.]

[spandexisyouth]

I look forward to it! I am capable of things! My condition is not that bad!

[spandexisyouth]

I can see if I can find some.

I know. But based on what he wishes to aim for, there are different focuses.

[ice_echani]

[um.] Why would either matter in your answer? I would hope that as a friend, you would be honest. Although if you do not wish to say so in a public place, I can see you in person.

[spandexisyouth]

Because I am fine! But I am not as fine as I could be. Come over! When I make it home.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Weapon. I had a gun during the attack. But it was...different.

I wonder if I could recreate part of it.

I made a few launchers too, I think maybe something like that. I had a hard time with balance. There's the whole 'lacking coordination because I'm a nerd' thing. I think.

[ice_echani]

So you are not fine. [sigh.] Very well. I will see you then.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Sometimes dull is a good thing. I'm plenty dull.

Maybe not now, but I know you will the second you're able to.

[spandexisyouth]

What do you mean different?

Balance is very important! I know many ways to work on balance!

[spandexisyouth]

I am fine enough? It will be nice to see you.

[spandexisyouth]

You are not dull. I do not have any dull friends.

Yes. I do not see how this is a bad thing.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Yeah, let me be the judge of that.

So many pings

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

Gai,

I'm glad to see you're recovering. What sort of training do you do with your students?

Signed, Rauxes

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well.

[Bell figures. It doesn't make Gai any less of an idiot, though. ♥]

[spandexisyouth]

[Looooong pause.] I already know how you will judge it.

[spandexisyouth]

Thank you, Rauxes! It is all physical. Some need to work on fighting styles, some on basic strength, some just need more practical sparring! I have students at several different stages.

We sparred, before. You and I.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but. Just make sure he's ready for whatever comes next.
