Summary: Training, Lee-style
Status: Complete

"You can do it, Miss Trini!" Lee called to encourage her. "Let the power of youth explode!" he added, clenching one hand into a fist.

Well, she likely would not understand that last bit, but that was what Gai-sensei had always said to motivate him, and it had worked well enough. It was possible that it had only worked because he wanted so much to prove himself to Gai-sensei and make him proud. Still, he had promised Miss Trini that he would not slack on her training.

"Only fifty more! You can do it!"

He continued punching his side of the pole, as well, beaming at ... well, not her, because he could not see her. But he beamed at the pole, approximately where her head would be on the other side. Training with a friend was so much more fun than training alone. That was surely true.

Trini had been trying to block that incoming strike, but as she was occupied with her own strike, Lee did get her with the kick. That would perhaps be some small comfort.

However, the best way to deal with an embarrassing situation was to turn it into a low stress situation. The teenager pivoted on her foot and attempted a roundhouse kick at Lee's back. The end of the spar was not far away now. At most there would be two more strikes that landed.

"Well, now you know I'll always cover your rear when you forget to cover it yourself, Lee!" Trini commented with a smile. Though there was a hint in her tone that she was serious about the sentiment of watching his back, if Lee was perceptive enough to hear it.

Lee was too busy being embarrassed to even think about blocking the kick to his back, but it was just as well. That was the fifth blow landed, and now he could find a hole to crawl into and die a peaceful death. Still, when Miss Trini said that she would cover his rear, he nearly exploded in laughter, in spite of how red his face was.

"Thank you, Miss Trini," he answered, and he started to say that he would do the same, but he stopped himself, turning even more red. "I will -- watch your back, too," he finally substituted, because that sounded far safer.

Trini smiled. "Do not worry about it. Unexpected things happen in spars. I think every martial artist had a story about being hit in a sensitive spot in one form or another." It was almost inevitable, really. So Trini wasn't going to lose any sleep over it.

"You fight well, Lee. I believe I had a little bit of luck on my side today. Do you want to rest a little before we continue with our training today?" Trini thought that Lee might want a little time to recover from the last couple of strikes.

	Lee nodded. He had not had such a story, until today, but Miss Trini was not mocking him for it, so he would ... get over it. In time. He hoped. "So do you, Miss Trini," he answered, grinning, and then he nodded when she suggested a break. "Maybe a snack would be a good idea, too," he added with a slight shrug. And some water. Definitely some water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Alright then. Let's go to the kitchen and grab something to eat." Trini could use the break herself. She didn't have the endurance Lee had, given the differences in their worlds and their training styles. She did not comment further on what happened, though. It was simply not a huge issue to her. "Maybe if we're lucky we can find some sort of protective headgear somewhere for the next time we spar." Though she had no idea if that would be stocked anywhere.
