*Chika nodded.*

Yeah. We should... probably get back to the training we were doing.

[anationisnothing]

[He sunk down, arms rising up to protect his face, boxing style.]

Give me a good sock to the jaw or torso. Don't worry about me, I've had worse. And I won't hit back, so don't worry about that. Just try to hit me.

[knifedances]

And how about if doing whatever it takes to complete the objective means having to kill someone, or hurting people? [And he watches the alien being with mild curiosity along with his concealed distaste]

Ah well, good luck with it, then. I suppose I'll be watching out for whether you have any success or not. [Maybe. Or maybe he'll consider it irrelevant and promptly forget that you mentioned it as soon as you're out of his sight, as he does with all information he considers useless]

[curtissy]

Ah, so it's one of those. [Jade says this in an almost annoyingly knowing way when it's quite obvious they wouldn't have had the same experiences. Or did they?]

You don't have to neutralize him, you know. I find that some education works just as well if it's applied correctly.

[starfruitfrog]

Of course! We're alien invaders, it's our job, de arimasu. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself, de arimasu. [But in reality he'd hesitate, especially because there are people he cares a lot about.]

Look forward to seeing it, de arimasu. I'll even let you in on an advanced showing if you want, de arimasu.

[prosecutory]

Not quite, Miss Tenjou. My ability can be resisted.

[princelyspirit]

And how do they do that?

[princelyspirit]

If you say so...

[Still sounds uncertain, but hey, he looks like a pretty tough guy. So, she puts her fists up, standing in the stance he showed her, and took a swing at his chest]

[anationisnothing]

[Cap sidesteps it easily.]

C'mon, you can do better than that!

[flamberge]

[That tone of voice doesn't especially bother Kratos. While it's unlikely Jade ever dealt with someone on the level of Lloyd, there exist many idiots no matter the world.]

Applying it with him proves far greater of a challenge than you can imagine. [Teaching a cat to bark would be easier.]

[knifedances]

Even if those 'enemies' turn out to be rather harmless in comparison with whatever methods of killing you have available to you? [He does have his doubts, you're a two feet tall 'frog', after all...though of course he knows better than to judge someone based on appearances and first impressions alone. He doesn't look particularly threatening himself after all.

And he laughs, though it sounds amicable enough]

Sure, why not? Perhaps I'll even learn something from it.

[prosecutory]

Sheer force of will, or if I don't put enough power into my words.

[curtissy]

[Peony might have been an idiot most of the time, but his being able to actually keep up with Jade disqualifies him from this comparison.]

My my. And how have you been teaching him, exactly? I've heard repetition is particularly effective on some types of people.

[starfruitfrog]

In military school we were taught never to underestimate an opponent. It is better to use more force than necessary than it is to lose a whole platoon because you thought something was harmless, de arimasu.

[His whole planet is full of two-feet tall frogs, but that doesn't stop them at all.]

I'll try my best then, de arimasu!

[princelyspirit]

[Okay, he's quicker than he looks. She doesn't let it get her down, though. Utena straightens up before she rushes in with a one-two punch - if he dodges the first, he'll be going into the second. Or at least, that's her plan.]

[princelyspirit]

So it's not perfect, then. Still, it sounds kind of scary - if the wrong sort of guy had a power like that, who knows what he'd do with it.

[princelyspirit]

Yeah... *switching topics* So, you do martial arts, right? I know we're supposed to use weapons here, but-

*remembers what Steve said during their training session* But you can't count on having your weapon on you all the time, right? So maybe we should work on that.

[wordsgate]

Oh? Then should I pretend I don't know it's coming?

[wordsgate]

Japan. [Or that's what he's willing to say.] There seems to be several people from my country here as 'guests.'

[wordsgate]

I'm sure you can. A lot of being "strong" is learning and doing your best.

[scatterflower]

*Chika nods.*

Yeah, that's definitely a good idea. It's always good to have something available as a backup...

[prosecutory]

Indeed. It's an ability that can easily be abused, as it works on anyone - or anything - that has a soul.

[madamabfly]

No. [She scrunches up her nose.] I can tell if you're pretending.

[suchselfishness]

More than several. [ She's met enough of them to know. Japan's a wasteland in her own world, so it's taken a bit of adjustment. ] I've met nearly a dozen since I got here.

[princelyspirit]

So!

*crosses her arms behind her back and beams at her*

Would you like to practice with me?
