Willing to train

[nixly]

After everything Nala had learned...
Everything Mindcontrol and Christina revealed.
She rested for a few days, settling in with her siblings. But now not any more. What if they where attacked? What if she couldn't protect them after all?

So she would go train. Her siblings were used to staying alone; they would find plenty to do here. Nala had always know that her powers had an offence side, other then the amusing side she tend to use.

But she had never tried to use that side... She stepped into the danger room, even thou she wasn't sure if she should call someone.
The room appeared as a big iron thing to her. When not activated, she figured it was a good room to just train on her own, without being bothered by her siblings.

She sighed, and gathered her concentration; She started to shape the bubble. But not flexible, not soft and cuddly..



Hard, like a reflecting mirror. Made to reflect any mutant, human or weapon swung at her; She focused, making the edges tough, and started expanding it; it had to be big enough to protect more then one person.

Keiy was lost, again. He had not been paying attention to where he was going and thought that he had gone up far enough to get to the main area. <On the bright side, no one is here.> He thought cheerfully for a moment then realized that what he just thought was part of the problem. He payed close attention to his surroundings for a moment, trying to figure out where he was. The hallway was shiny and high tech looking, so his first conclusion was that he was near the infirmary. As he walked down the hallway that he thought would lead him to the right area. After a while, Keiy walked past an open door. Thinking that someone inside could help him get back to the normal part of the house, he entered the room. The first thing that he noticed was that the room was massive. The second thing that he noticed was that the person in the room was Nala. She was encased in some sort of bubble. Her back was to Keiy as he entered the room. He was more curious as to what she was doing than anything else. Keiy wanted to get her attention but was unsure of how to do it. Keiy decided to shoot a bolt of electricity at Nala. He made sure however that it would surprise her more than hurt her. As soon as the electricity hit the bubble it popped. Keiy's reaction was one of surprise.
"I-I'm sorry!" He immediately stuttered. "I didn't m-mean to pop it."

[nixly]

Nala kept trying to make it bigger and stronger, and she toughed she was succeeding.

Truth be told, she didn't expect an 'attack', even a weakened jolt of electricity wasn't expected - but she simply wasn't ready to hold off attacks. So the bubble popped like a soap bubble. Luckily, the bolt disappeared together with her bubble; she wasn't hit. She let out a small screech, and fell forward on her knees.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't m-mean to pop it."

Nala's heart skipped a beat, when she heard his voice. "Keiy!" She sounded surprised. She jumped back on her feet, and turned around. "No, no, it's fine... I was trying to make a bubble strong enough to reflect attacks ... But That didn't go to well... .... _{It just popped}" She moved closer to him, she looked down and sometimes looked up to him. "So, umm, did you come here to train too? I wanted to practice a little."

[M_a_K]

Keiy became selfconsious when Nala approached him. He Knew that he had been fighting and was not sure of how he smelled. He took a slight silent sniff and realized that he smelled like fire, not like a bond fire but not like a burned stinky smell either. He smelled more like a scentless candle. Keiy kept his eyes attached to Nala's eyes through all of this.
"Um... actually I got lost." Keiy muttered slightly embarrassed. "But I think that I like where I ended up." He ended the sentence with a tone that practically begged Nala to ask where he was. Keiy knew the answer was terribly corny but he didn't mind.
Keiy's eyes drifted over Nala's face, examining her cheekbones, lips, nose, and eyes, then they wandered down to her collar bone. Conscious of his actions, Keiy did not let his eyes wander farther than that and brought his attention back to her eyes.
Remembering he statement about practicing, Keiy responded by muttering a quiet "I could help if you want" as his face blushed. Keiy's markings however showed his joy about being near Nala.

[nixly]

Nala couldn't resist a giggle - the way he spoke was just cute! "It's big here. pretty easy to get lost. ... It's the danger room ... witch is used for training right?"
She heard his quite muttering about wanting to help her, she figured, she could use a partner. And that Keiy happened to be the one to help had absolutely nothing to do with it. Not at all. (Keep telling that to yourself and you might believe it)
"It would be nice if you helped me practice ... I could use some help.."
The ground was so very interesting, she kept looking at that one tile. _{"My bubbles keep popping at the slightest touch ... while they should reflect.."} She spoke rather quiet, almost afraid he would change his mind.
She looked up and gazed right into Keiy's eyes. "H-how do you usually train?"

[M_a_K]

"Endurance first, then move on to manipulating." Keiy said matter-of-factly. He looked over Nala, more in thought than to check her out. Suddenly he realized that he was probably going to teach her his training routine and the prospect of leading anyone intimidated him. "I-... We could start by you making as many bubbles as possible. Just so see your limit." He said, hoping that he was not making a fool of himself.

[nixly]

Nala smiled pretty happily. He would train with her!
"ok." she had never trained for real before, and she had never wondered how many bubbles she could make...
With a small smile and brief glimpse to Keiy, she started making the first bubbles. 'Ok, now just as many as possible!' One bubble... 2 bubbles... 6 bubbles ... 10 bubbles ... 15 bubbles... Nala realized she could keep this up for some time, so she speed up the creating of new bubbles.

..

She had been so focused, she didn't realize her bubbles where kinda filling up the room.

She took a deep breath and looked around. Bubbles. Everywhere. And she suspected she could go on. She made an other bubble; but was tartled when one of the bubbles hit the wall and popped. She giggled and said: "one room filled with bubbles is my limit.." She tried to make an other one, but each time she would try, an older bubble would pop. "How many do you think are in here?" She watched them bounce on the ceiling. Nala wove her hand and the bubbles bounced a bit more.

[M_a_K]

Keiy looked around at the room filled with bubbles. Needless to say he was impressed. Keiy decided to say something smart to answer Nala's question, something like "Uhh... A lot?"
He turned his back to the bubbles, grabbed one of the bubbles in front of him, and sent a electric shock wave from his tail to the bubbles behind him, popping most of them. "I think its clear that you can make a lot of bubbles." Keiy said, "So how about you make this one tougher?" The bubble was about the size of a softball, and in Keiy's mind, perfect for practice.

[nixly]

"S-sure." Nala focused her energy, and flicked her hand, making the bubble float into her direction. She squeezed her eyes, and a strange reflection came off the bubble. She tabbed it with her finger, but it responded like a glass ball. A gentle "tonggggggggggg" rang through the room. Nala smiled happy. "I think I did it."

[M_a_K]

Keiy looked at the bubble. He decided to do the same trick as before and shoot a spark at it. To both of their pleasure the bubble didn't pop. Keiy thought about it for a second before saying "Ok, are you wanting to practice hurting people or defending people?" Keiy asked.

[nixly]

Nala shuddered at the idea of needing to hurt people. She had come to the mansion, to avoid getting hurt in the first place. "Defending." Her voice gave Keiy absolutely no reason to try and talk her into harming others. Thou she was pretty sure he wouldn't try in the first place.

[M_a_K]

Keiy thought about it for a moment. Then a plan to help her train. "Ok here is what we are going to do." Keiy said as he explained his plan. "What I want you to do is keep that bubble as hard as possible and slowly make it bigger as I continue to shock it, ok?"

[nixly]

Nala made the bubble, trying to harden it, and let Keiy shock it.
Much to her dismay, she found it harder and harder to keep the bubble in 1 piece.

((Want to take Keiy outside with the kids? They'll enjoy playing a game with him ))

[M_a_K]

Keiy looked at Nala. "How long have you been training in here?"
(( Yeah. Do you want them to be interupted?))

[nixly]

Nala gave his question some thoughts. "I'm not sure. Been trying for a while with the bigger bubble."

((might be interesting for there relationship. Or maybe they could take a break, and go for a walk? Nala doesn't have any stamina yet))
