"Thanks." You grumble, massaging the outside of your throat as you work away at your rice.

"It is nothing Sensei." Katta replies stoicly. Doing that weird, kneel sit people here seem to do.

"What time is it anyway?" You ask around a mouthful of salmon, cracking your wrist as feeling and strength return to you.

"You slept for three days." The pale man responds with a frown, ignoring as you almost choke on your meal in shock, "There has been grumbling amongst the men that you would die." He admits.

"Three whole days?" You mutter to yourself, fidgeting with the final bit of salmon.

"Ao has been trying to convince Lady Thievery to get a new Sensei."

"You don't seem pleased with this." You counter looking at Katta.

"I have faith in you Sensei and want to learn from you." He admits, "I've seen what you're capable of."

"Well." You say standing up, finding yourself clad in a deep purple kimono; "How about I give you a lesson then?"

Sliding the paper door to the side and taking up your sword, you feel a lot more complete and human.

Stepping outside you notice a couple of gasps and a bandit running to the main tavern to report. The murmuring is annoying but no reason to give it undue concern - after all a crowd only helps your inspiration.

Using your sheath you draw a cirlce, maybe half a foot wide. Standing in it, you clear your still slightly dry throat, "I want you all to pick up rocks and throw them at me." Is all you request, smiling slightly whilst resting your sheathed sword across your shoulders.

Closing your eyes for a second you focus on your own power; the swirling red fire of your soul energy. It's faint. Very faint. Whatever that whole fight was, it's left you almost bereft of power. But more than enough for this.

The first rock flies at your head and you side step it easily. Soon Katta watches as a barrage of bricks, rocks and other debris comes in from all directions. Only having to resort to -whooshing- once, you manage to make it out completely intact.

"Incredible Sensei." Your disciple says with a quick bow.

You step out of the circle, ignoring the gleam of sweat on your brow as you cock a thumb over your shoulder, "Your turn. Let's see if you can dodge as well as you cook."

As the bricks fly Katta does an average job of aoviding them, taking on rock to the wrist as he doesn't quite believe you're letting him get pelted by stones.

Taking a deep breath, you stand at ful height and call out, "Everyone get in lines and draw your swords! Time to see who's worth their salt."

The bandits pause, some in mid toss while Katta just puts his hands on his knees. As he huffs and puffs the men scramble to go about your orders; honestly - if they weren't all killers and scum you could get used to this position.

"Right!" Drawing your sword you stand in front of an assembled force of fourteen. The men and women milling around; a real variety of builds, stances and attitudes. Even the wolfman creature is in the assembled group, though you don't remember many others... due to recent head trauma.

But you're here to see what they're worth as warriors and pupils, not as decoration.

"You're all going to copy what I do. I want you to focus completely on this, your performance will decide if I teach you or not."

With a frown you notice that only about five or so people can actually keep up with this light routine. At least some had the sense to leave on their own; the others had to be sent away by Katta.

One man in particular is displeased and looks as if he's going to cause trouble. Out of the corner of your eye, you see an exchange of heated words as you slowly perform a series of stab motions.

The arguement is defused when Katta lays a hand on his hilt, but you can't help but notice some tension when he approaches you at the front of the class.

"Sensei, maybe I can lead the forms while you evaluate the candidates closer?" He says quietly while everyone behind him takes a breather.

Mulling over the decision you nod, stepping back and to the side. Sheathing your sword slowly, you turn your eye on the class; now just a half dozen strong. What lifts your spirit is that you notice The Wolfman, The Brute, and The Androgynous person you remember all in that number.

Joining them is a Blonde Lady, A moustached man and A stocky but small man.

Bedtime for Star.

Sorry Starborn For hire didn't run and this was short. Social functions were cancelled tomorrow so I'll be continuing at some point.

I really enjoy running, hopefully tiredness hasn't made this too shitty thus far.

I'll do better.

Observing carefully, you take note of some things.

The Wolfman is the most promising, he's quick and strong. He's not quite natural with the sword in his hands, but you think his sheer physical ability trumps that.

The blonde lady is using a pair of knives as aopposed to a sword, since she can't really mimic Katta's form she's mostly looking bored and messing around; but she's so precise with those knives rolling over her knuckles and hands that you think she'd be a deadly foe.

The brute is... less than exciting. He can't keep up with Katta and is mostly swinging his sword furiously in anger. Despite the effort, his technique is terrible - though he's probably strong enough to crush everyone else's skull like a wicker basket.

Rolling your neck and cracking your knuckles you think on your next step, you can probably squeeze something in before lunch.

You close your eyes and focus, hoping that you can work out some kind of method to-

With your eyes shut, you see Katta. But strangely Katta is glowing it's only a faint silver sheen, but you can perfectly picture him. Even though you've barely known him for very long you can picture him right down to the movements he's currently making with the sword.

That means he's got some power right? That silver glow?

Before you can decide, the world decides for you as the Wolfman appears. Well not so much appears as you see him in your mind's eye, he glows a lot less intensely. But with a slight shimmer around his feet.

Then comes the brute, whose fists glow orange.

Next up, the blonde lady who is.... almost blinding, Mary mother of our Lord - she's like looking into the sun.

Unfortunately for the other two, they seem to have no energy.

"Alright everyone." You shout putting your hands on your hips, the assembled group turns towards you and you do your utmost to stand straight. "I've made a decision."

"Sensei?" Katta asks, confused.

"I'm going to teach you three."

You begin speaking aloud and pointing like you're picking teams for a schoolyard game - "Katta. Big guy."

The black haired pale man bows and the hulking blue haired man pumps a fist in the air in celebration.

Now for the one you're less certain on. "You, too lady."

She hollers and grins, which honestly kind of makes you smile too. It's ice to feel appreciated isn't it?

Hiding your expressions behind a blank mask for now, that's what's important. These people are bandits; this is nothing but a chance to get enough trust to leave; "You three will be my disciples. I will teach you what I know." You proclaim solemnly.

"What about us?" The Wolf says, "We're as much a part of this band as they are."

Katta makes to speak up but you silence him with a glare and square up to the gagly furred man, "I can only teac so many at a time. These three will be my first class, then I will take three more on as will they and so on and forth. I will spread my word across this land like a flooded plane."

He looks a bit satisfied by this, nodding slightly before retreating.

You turn to your pupils with all the fury of a mother in her kitchem; "After lunch you will come to my dojo. I will teach you then. For now you're dismissed, including you Katta." You add before he falls instep with you. Honestly you just want some peace and quiet for a while.
Walking to the shaded area between the tavern and your dojo cum home, you wonder briefly what to do after all - you have essentially been kidnapped after a mortal battle with some kind of hulked up ex sword wizard.

You wish that reality sounded less ridiculous.

At least sitting with your back to the wall in the shade has eased off the headache that has crept it's way into existense for a short while.
