Deckard: *will direct the others to prepare a space on the bed for the man to rest in and put a pot of stew on to warm for him*

Naijah: *will need help eating when he wakes. He gently squeezes the arm of whoever helps* Thanks.

*Duke suggested Deckard, GM, n McC stay back from him till they know how he'll treat J'har*
SM: *is helping him, nods*

Naijah: *he's looking all around as he eats, anyone who meets his gaze will get a small smile* Quite a bunch here, eh? *kind of surprised by ALL THE KIDS! Not that he has a problem with it, but two adults with nine kids? Wow.*

Kage: *helping too by helping him sit up while SM helps him eat*

*At least they're not a rowdy gaggle? At the moment, in any case . . . they're working on chores – mending clothes, weaving a basket, woodworking, etc*

GM: *wry, cheeky grin* We kind of came as a packaged set. *thumbing at himself and the rest of the team*

	Not that they're sloppy about it at all, but the work gets done in /record/ time. Deckard and McC will even help them a little so they're done quicker. PJ, DB, and Duke will also come out at least to watch SM: nods Very. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Naijah: will take them a ways into the forest to find a decent branch to serve as a staff. The bous will cut the branch themselves and he'll hewd back to the den so they can caeve it smooth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

SM: *diligent, asking intelligent questions – how long should it be compared to him, what kind of weight, what sorts of things will it be used for, what kinds of weaknesses to be aware of, etc . . . gets his branch cut and is always sort of playing with it a bit as they head back…not too much, though, realizing the balance will change once they start carving and smoothing*

Naijah: *patiently answers all of their questions, and it SM doesn't ask something first Kage does. They'll settle and he'll show them hownto properly carve and smooth the wood. It's probably all they do today. The next day Naijah will start walking them through a simple kata. The staff plays a large part in their balance and the moves they make. He'll keep things slow and simple, and their feet on the ground for the most part. It's...kind of like a dance, and sometimes Naijah will have them "dance" together. When facing each other, and going through the kata, it almost looks like a choreographed fight...if it was faster anyway.*

*They're not robots anymore. The training will be /hard/ and take a long time for them to get good at. Naijah is patient, but challenging them at every turn. He'll push them to exhaustion four days a week and the fifth day they'll spend time just being still, or caring for their staffs. And they run, a lot. The focus isn't so much speed, but endurance, setting themselves at a quick, but steady jog. It's thebonly time they're allowed outside of the boarders Terris set for them. They'll even get to see Naijah in action when they come across a group of slavers looking for runaways (or easy pickings) in the forest. The group is surprised, but with their training the boys will easily slip free of their captors and Naijah practically dances around and /over/ the rest of the group, dropping the remaining group with seeming ease. He's /proud/ of his students, and once dragging the men back to the road and leaving them there (still unconscious), they'll head home.*

*If Naijah wasn't pushing him, SM would be pushing /himself/. He might comment sometimes, or show concern for his brother when Kage's slower or having any kind of issue, but he never really complains at all, no matter /how/ sore and exhausted he gets. As often as not, they'll be joined by one or more of the other boys as well, if only for fun. It's just the three of them, however, when they're happened upon by the slavers. SM fights /hard/, /growling/ as he frees himself and turns his staff on the bastard holding his brother. He's /amazed/ at getting to see Naijah, though he'll have to process it later – too much going on now! . . . but then, it's over and they're heading home . . . and SM has a /grin/ on his face.*

Kage: *had freed himself and was turing to help SM even as his brother was turning to help him, he too has a grin on his face*
Naijah: Well...yeh two look happy. Yeh're gettin' good with yehr runnin', good stamina, we'll start on how teh jump and land next. *they've already have been...haven't they? In their katas they do jumps and kicks and flips all the time... The grin on his face says he's /waiting/ for that question.*

	SM: eyes him, grin still on his face What kind of jump are you talking about, sensei? totally gets that Naijah's got something particular in mind – and yes, he's taken to calling Naijah that, and has explained what it means (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Naijah: The kind that lets yeh walk on walls. *he darts towards a nearby tree, running up the trunk like he might do a back flip, but instead he launche from the side of the trunk to the branches above, and lands crouched on the branch, staff across his knees.* Yeh need teh be light on yer feet. *leaps down, and from a height that should injure him...and lands lightly on his feet without rolling.* So yeh can do just about anythin' yeh want.

Kage: *laugh* I think sensei just likes showing off.
Naijah: *laughs* Of course I do. What's the fun of bein' able teh do somethin' impressive if yeh never show off? *and even as theybhead back Naijah will teach them. They'll start jogging and he'll have them follow his steps exactly. Instead of jogging the trail he'll leap bushes, jump up and shove a foot against a tree to change directions, leap up to swing from a low branch to clear a rock, or twisting as he swings to change directions again*
