[While Lee could proudly call himself one who never gave up, that could often be a double-edged sword. While effort did indeed get Lee to where he wanted to go, it could often take time; and with someone as impatient as Lee, taking time was not always pleasant. Luckily, he is optimistic enough to not let any unpleasantness dampen his mood. Most of the time.

As it was, Lee was still struggling to keep up his Weapon form for periods of time longer than a few minutes. Unlike chakra, which he understood perfectly and could mold so easily, transformation seemed much touchier, easy to lose his grip on. Sometimes it might even have been his enthusiasm itself that kept him from retaining his Weapon form... But no matter! Lee will endeavor to keep training in this! At least for as long as he has possible Meisters willing to wield him in some practice exercises, that is.]

[Yuuri caught sight of Lee as he was looking around for anyone who needed help. Approaching the other boy, there was a friendly smile on his face.]

Good morning!

[Lee smiles when the other boy makes his way over.]

Morning, sir! Are you here to help with Weapon training?

[Yuuri had to blink when he caight sight of the other boy. He looked familiar...]

I am, yeah! I'm Yuuri, Shibuya Yuuri.

[Lee beams.] Excellent! A pleasure to meet you, Yuuri-san!

I am Rock Lee, and I have been having trouble remaining in my Weapon form! Do you have any advice to give on the matter?

[Rock Lee? That sounded familiar, but he's so bad with names...]

It's great to meet you too!

Mmhm! It's definitely not easy, and it's a lot harder when on the battlefield as well. Did you want to show me how you transform and then tell me how you feel while you're in that form?

Certainly!

[Lee closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Moving out of habit, his hands move to make a handsign as if to charge up his chakra. Pulling from a feeling similar to sending chakra through his tenketsu, Lee felt a pulse of energy.

And then he was falling, but he didn't fear the drop. The crumpling clink of chains as they clattered on the ground felt strangely natural, though Lee also felt invigorated and pulsing with energy. He wasn't sure whether he was supposed to feel at ease in this form or not. It was very unusual, but not necessarily uncomfortable.]

[Yuuri leant over and peered down at Lee's Weapon form. Aaa everyone always looked so much cooler than he did!]

So tell me how you're feeling?

Like is it already feeling difficult to keep that form, or does it make you feel uncomfortable or something?

I feel bursting with energy! [Lee usually was bursting with energy, but this feeling was different. Stronger, more like an adrenaline rush on top of his usual amount of excitement.

It was kind of strange speaking in this form, too. He didn't have a mouth, so Lee was constantly wondering where his voice was coming from. Turning into a weapon in the first place was already strange enough.]

It is not uncomfortable. More like... I cannot seem to contain this feeling and I just--[And before he could finish, the stability shattered and he returned to his human form, sitting a little dazed on the ground]--it is like I just cannot harness the energy and I return to this.

[Lee shakes his head and frowns.] It backfires on me. Is this normal for beginners?

[Yuuri quietly watched and listened while Lee spoke of the difficulties he was having. It was rare, but it sounded similar to a few other Weapons he had come across in the past.

Eyes widening in alarm when his friend randomly transformed back, he shook his head and sat back. Rubbing at his chin in thought, he took a moment to consider the possibilities.]

There are a few Weapons who have a similar problem. I mean I know that there are some Weapons who have trouble maintaining their forms because they're just not used to the situation or keeping focused in such a way.

You're a fighter back home, right? Maybe it's a combination of things like being unable to fight as you usually do, and because of that your mind becomes too unfocused to maintain that form.

[Lee leaned forward, intent and serious.]

It is nice to know I am not the only one with this problem. [He folded his arms across his chest, trying to think of a solution.]

Loss of focus could be it! I am not quite sure how to harness my energy while I am in my nunchaku form. It is different than chakra. I was very good at controlling my power when it was reliant on that!

[He doesn't mind that Lee leant in at all as he listened and took a moment to think about what was said.]

Hmmm well what about if you try starting out without accessing the energy? See how long you can hold onto that form then. Most battles only last a few minutes at most, but I've been in a few situations where I've had to maintain my weapon form for a few hours. That takes a lot of energy and strength out of you, so it's good to start with the basics and how to access your energy only when you need it.

It took me quite a while to learn how to do that, but I've never had to do anything like that at all either.

....

[Lee blinks his large eyes owlishly.]

I had not though of that. [Starting without power. Such a thought would never have occurred to him back home. But then again, this place was not home. The system was different. Chakra didn't have to be expended in order to add extra power to kicks or punches or jumps. Resonance was what mattered.]

Intriguing idea, Yuuri-san! I will have to try it that way!

I am very used to fighting back home, but it is essential to charge your power before you go in for an attack.

[He's smiling when it seemed that Lee was happy to listen to his suggestion.]

It's hard to get used to not being the one doing all the actions of fighting. Don't forget about balancing out your resonance with your partner as well.

[Lee actually takes a moment to grab a small notebook and pen from his vest pocket for note-taking. All the while having a very Serious face.]

Yes! I will do my best to hold back... and work to resonate with partner in order to make up for it! This will be my new plan!

Great! I think that you'll find it really helpful. Have you got a partner to work with?

I have a part-time partner! Hyuuga Neji is a close friend of mine from home and he has agreed to partner with me until I find a permanent one!

Great! That should definitely be good with helping you learn to control it.

Yes! I will make sure to train with him every day, and work to incorporate what you have told me into that regime! Thanks you again for your time and advice, Yuuri-san!

[Big smile! He's quite grateful~]

You're more than welcome! If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask me!

I will! [And with that, Lee jumps to his feet and salutes.]

I shall let you get back to your duties, then, Yuuri-san! You have a splendid day!

Thank you, and you too, Lee!
