Aznable looked at Ava's stance and smiled "There thats perfect" he told her. "Now the first thing you want to always remember is keep your balance, thats the number 1 rule" he said as he took his stance. "Balance is key you want to be able to attack, but have the balance to quickly go back into a defense..." he said. "Watch carefully" he swung his sword diagnolly from left to right then quickly dropped back putting the sword up in a defensive stance. "Now you give it a try" he said.

'Avalon' watched carefully as Anzable moved his sword and fell back almost immediately into his previous stance, holding the blade up defensively.
"Okay..." she said, blowing her bangs from her eyes before swinging her sword left and right, falling back into her defensive stance, trying to keep her balance. She wobbled a little, but managed to stay up right and keep her feet on the ground. A sigh of relief went through her.
"Im a little... balance challenged..."

Aznable watched as she made her move then wobbled when she took her stance. He laughed a little "Then we'll have to work at that, but that was good" he told her. "Now to make you less 'balance challenged' as you put it." he said walking over to some rocks "You're gonna have to learn to keep your balance" he jumped on the rocks and held his hand out to her. "Up here, we'll train up here so you can learn to hold your balance"

Ava nodded as she placed a pale hand into his, hopping up onto the rocks and almost immediately falling over when Avalon let go of Anzables hand. Closing her eyes a small column of sand shot up from the ground and caught her, lifting her up and steadying her.
"Okay... Working on balance... This ought to be tons of fun" she muttered to herself sarcasticly. "Okay, so what now, Master Anzie?"

Aznable helped her up and watched as she used the sand to balance herself. He smiled when she called him master "Now...we practice moving" he said to her. He lept over to the next rock landing gracefully. He turned back to her "We'll follow this line of rocks around...when you land try to land on one foot" he told her hoping this would force her to learn some balance. He letp over to the next rock landing on one foot and waited for her to follow.

Moonfire's face grew nervous for a moment, her pinkish lips held in a tight frown as she stood on one foot, wobbling for a moment before finding her center. Watching carefully she saw Anzable hopping forward the next rock, with a deep breath she jumped. Her foot landed on the rock with a hard wobble again, her arms pinwheeling out as she tried to pull herself back into a straight stand. The girl sighed as she stood up straight and still.
"Haha! Gots it!" she said triumphantly giving Anzable a thumbs up.

Aznable watched as she jumped and landed on one foot as he did. When she gave him the thumbs up he smiled at his new pupil "Good work..." he told her. "All there is to it...is finding you center" he told her. He stood up on one foot and pointed at his stomach "Start from there...then find your center to all your limbs" he stood up on one foot then jump landing on the same rock on his other foot.

"Easy as pie." she said with a laugh as she hopped up and landed on her foot opposite foot again on the rock. Quite pleased with herself she repeated the maneuver, hopping from one foot to the other. Though, true to her nature on the the fifth or so foot exchange her boot came down and her ankle protested to this, and down went one unsuspecting Moonfire.
"Oof!" the wind was knocked out of her for a moment as she found herself staring up into the Ruusan sky, a little giggle running through her, the giggle turning into a chuckle and the chuckle blooming into all out hysterical laughter, 'Avalon' clutching her stomach as she picture her fall over and over again in her minds eye, despite her now upset ankle.

Aznable watched as she hoped a few times and fell on the last one. He lept down after her and was surprised to hear that she was laughing. "Are you okay?" he asked her as he bent down next to her. He looked at her ankle "Doesn't look sprang" he said to her as he smirked at her. He held his hand out to help her up "How about we take a break for a moment..." he asked her.

Moonfire laughed until she was almost in tears before nodding up at Anzable, agreeing that she ought to take a break. Grabbing his hand in hers she hopped up, her ankle screamed in pain for a second, but quieted down after a moment on it. She sat down softly on the rock she had been standing on.
"Master Anzie, random question, whats your favorite color?"

Aznable helped her up and sat down on one of the near by rocks. He looked at her when she asked what his favorite color was "Red..." he answered her. "Why do you ask?" he said to her.

Moonfire shrugged. "It seemed like a good question at the time. Mines purple." she responded with a laugh again. It was nice to laugh. She'd been far too sad and serious as of late.
"You must think Im completely insane." she said dark hair falling into her face as she looked down at the ground. Guilt hit her hard for a moment, but she pushed it away, no need for that, she could deal with it later, for now, training and fun were what mattered.
"With all the outbursts of laughter and stuff, Im just... enjoying myself is all."

Aznable looked at her and smirked "Purple...its a good color" he said to her. "Represent peace and tranqulinty, and a little arrogance..." he laughed saying this. He then looked at her "No, I don't think you are insane. I think you are a student eager to learn and thats rare to find now days..." Aznable stood up and went over to his ship. He picked up his bag and walked back over to her he pulled out some energy drinks he handed her one. "Here you go..." he told her as he sat down and started to drink his.

"Thankies" Moonfire said as she openned the drink carefully, gulping it down quickly. "What can I say? I like getting better, and I need to be stronger." she said with a decisive nod.
"Oh yeah! Your ship! You should probably come back and check my Dragoon, it'll probably have something in there of use for your engine... Or maybe I can call someone back... umm... where Im from and see if they can come lend you a hand?" she said pulling out her communicator.

Aznable laughed at what she said "Well said, that was very well said" he told her as he continued to drink his energy drink. He finished it and crushed the can puttting it back in his bag. He stood up and stretched "That is very kind of you Ava" he said to her and cracked his neck. He turned to her "Okay, I accept your help. Then we can continue your training" he smiled at her.
