OOC: doing a few days time jump�.. so just say that Kyuusai has been here with Dashell while everyone else has been doing that Emperor thing? Ok then. Hah. I needed to freakin post.

IC:

Kyuusai once again had awakened early, his body once again full of vigor. He smiled as he washed himself in the icy cold embrace of the water within the wash basin. It was�startling, and always refreshing. He could hear the other students rousing in the background a soft smile coming to seraphic features. He had to hurry. Already he moved to the actual dojung and allowed himself a moment to relax�to breath.

It had been nearly a week since he had come into this place with Dashell, during which that time his fascination with the martial arts never dimmed. In fact he had started mimicking the flowing movements of the other students that first day! By the third day he was moving with the same practiced ease and perfect fluidity of those who had been mastering this art for years. Odd? Yes�very odd�however the innocence in his boyish features and simple awe of life continued to prevail�even when he started to speak the common language.

Kyuusai began then�his body instantly moving through the form with the practiced grace of a veteran. His movements were perfectly in tune, flowing from one position to the next. Already he had shown interest in the soft Taijutsu style, specifically that known as the Kaze Kami style. Even now his body moved along those kata�s with a grace that bellied an intense dedication to the style, flowing with the moves that were said to be as soft as the wind, or as destructive as a monsoon.

Slowly he came out of the fluidic dance�or the discourse as he had liked to call it. In his mind, these movements were a language�.and the kata was a discourse given to those watching. When one had mastered the discourse, all would understand the movements and power behind his actions. He was unaware that others were watching him from all around the dojung; a few eyes with admiration�a few eyes with childish jealousy�all with awe at how fast he had learned.

Turning he saw their faces and color rose to his cheeks. �I�m�sorry�� his voice was sheepish. Suddenly he wished Dashell was here�
