A demonstration of Bai-tu

Kerryn

Bai-tu is a new Tekura sport with a bit of IG mechanics. Essentially a dice roller. Opponents roll for each other, then the person emotes based on the roll given to them. Roll a 1? You're suppose to emote an epic failure. Roll a 12? Critical success, make your flashy and perfect. Anything in between, use your judgement. After five rounds, scores are added and the one with the highest number is the deemed the winner.

Issy licks some icing off her fingers after passing out the cakes and mentions to Kaestrin, "Y'know, I mastered Krull, too."

Ollas caws playfully like a raven- albeit a very poor imitation.

Kaestrin beams broadly at Issy.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says, "Me too."

Issy beams broadly at Kaestrin.

Ollas hums a happy tune.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen,
"Oooh."

You have emoted: Kerryn pulls a chair out and sits down, crossing her right leg over her right.
"Thank you." she says to Issy, smiling.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says, "Probably before even Kerryn was born."

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen,
"Have you heard about Bai-tu?"

Kaestrin shakes his head at Issy.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to you, "Any time, Abbess!"

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says, "Mm."

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen,
"It's a new sport, for Tekura users."

Issy takes a simple book entitled, "A copy of an aged book entitled, "Bai-tu Notes"" from a lacy
ivory satchel.

Kaestrin casts a suspicious eye about the area.

Anaalia listens with interest.

Issy licks a little more icing off of her thumb before flipping the pages in the book. "It's really
interesting."

Ollas listens intently to Issy.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen,
"Two people who practice Tekura."

You have emoted: "I can arrange for a demonstration." Kerryn says quietly.

"The Abbess and I, for instance." Issy gestures to you. "We find a judge of Bai-tu, and we begin to
practice our moves."

Issy beams broadly at you.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to you, "That would be so much fun!"

Issy bounces up and down in a hyper way.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to you, "Please, Abbess! Please!"

The corners of Anaalia's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to you, "You and me!"

Ollas's eyes sparkle with amusement.

You have emoted: Kerryn points to her cake, "After I eat my cake."

Issy gently grasps your arm, still bouncing on the balls of her feet. "But -please-?!"

(Bai-tu Association): You say, "Mother?"

(Bai-tu Association): Aithene says, "Yes, Abbess?"

Issy's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Kaestrin plants one end of a vicious light brown dhurive into the ground from where he sits, astride
a baleful spiked raloth. Glancing between both you and Issy, he smiles and chuckles lightly. To Issy
he says, "Does one have to be a monk, or jus' a practitioner 'f Tekura?"

(Bai-tu Association): You say, "I'm going to be doing a Bai-tu demonstration here in a few. Would
any of yours wish to attend?"

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen,
"A practitioner of Tekura, love."

"Be right back!" Ollas cries.

Ollas disappears in a flash of light, teleporting by the power of the Gods.

Kaestrin blinks.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says, "I guess he didn't want to watch..."

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says to Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves,
"Hah! One with 's much energy 's you."

Beyam Anaalia says, "Well, there are incoming meteorites which he may have gone to find."

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen,
"It's why the Abbess says I shouldn't have sugar."

You have emoted: Kerryn finishes her cake and slowly stands, "Alright." she says to Issy.

Kaestrin nods his head at you, showing his acceptance.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says to Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves,
"You're sweet 'nough."

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says, "Alright. I know that... around the..."

Issy glances at Kaestrin, her cheeks flushed.

(Duiran): You say, "For those interested, I will be holding a Bai-tu demonstration in the Monastery.
All are welcome to watch."

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says, "In the Monastery, Abbess?"

You say, "With Sister Grolet."

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says, "I was looking out here for some reason."

Issy casts a suspicious eye about the area.

Issy shrugs helplessly.
(Duiran): Relandroc says, "A what?"

Anaalia's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

(Duiran): You say, "Bai-tu. It is a new Tekura sport."

(Duiran): Issy says, "You all should come watch! It's a sport, Tekura based."

Ollas arrives from the southwest.
(Duiran): Issy says, "Lleminara, come watch!"

(Duiran): Relandroc says, "Alright I am game."

Issy smiles at Ollas.

Kaestrin utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

(Duiran): Lleminara says, "On her way!"

(Duiran): You say, "I am outside the Monastery."

(Duiran): Issy says, "Yay!"

Light playing off her mottled scales, Lleminara slinks in from the northwest.

(Bai-tu Association): You say, "I am outside the Monastery, waiting."

Relandroc enters from the northwest, riding a giant, black-furred wolf.

(Bai-tu Association): You say, "Should others wish to attend."

Kaestrin turns to face Lleminara clenching his right fist and pounding his chest thrice in rapid
succession, symbolizing the vibrant heart that beats within.

Relandroc begins to follow you.

Kaestrin turns to face A cloaked figure clenching his right fist and pounding his chest thrice in
rapid succession, symbolizing the vibrant heart that beats within.

Pressing the open palm of your left hand against the clenched fist of your right, you bow
respectfully.

(Duiran): Relandroc says, "Do we get to place bets?"

Pressing the open palm of her left hand against the clenched fist of her right, Issy bows
respectfully.

With a flourish of her arms, Lleminara curtseys graciously, leaving a faint scent of vanilla behind.

(Duiran): You say, "If you like."

(Duiran): Kaestrin says, "I think 's .. oh?"

(Duiran): Relandroc says, "I bet Kaestrin's shirt then."

(Duiran): Issy says, "Empty bet."

(Duiran): You say, "He has one of those?"

(Duiran): Kaestrin says, "Nope."

Issy's eyes sparkle with amusement as she gazes upon you.

(Duiran): Lleminara says, "IIs it.. team-based.. Or d'we get to bet on just the one..?"

(Duiran): You say, "One on one."

(Duiran): Issy says, "You will bet one the Abbess or myself."

Master Yeras Tanarian, the Awakened says, "I'm not really dressed to do a sport, but I am dressed to
observe."

(Duiran): Relandroc says, "I don't know, I don't even know the rules of the sport of what it is but
hey."

Issy smiles at Yeras.

You smile at Yeras.

Lleminara Tanarian laughingly says, "Ten-thousand on Issy!!"

Issy blushes furiously.

Kaestrin giggles happily.

(Duiran): You say, "Alright, anyone else coming?"

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Lleminara Tanarian, "Your faith in me is
astounding, my friend."

A cloaked figure says, "Twenty thousand on the Abbess."

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says, "Oh goodness."

Lleminara rolls her eyes at a cloaked figure.

A cloaked figure says, "And Kaestrin will clean your monastery for a month."

Kaestrin eyes a cloaked figure, giving him the once over.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to a cloaked figure, "Please don't voluntell
Kaestrin."

Anaalia chuckles long and heartily.

A cloaked figure says to Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves, "He likes it."

Issy raises an eyebrow at Kaestrin.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says to Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves,
"It's better than 'im tryin' to kiss me."

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen,
"True."

***movement***

A cloaked figure says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen, "I only do that to Wylliam,
its fun to watch him panic and sputter about."

Yeras quickly devours a small round lemon cake with tricolor decor.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says, "Let me go get here..."

You have emoted: Kerryn smiles and gestures for everyone to step back, "Form a circle, if you will."
she says loudly. "We'll have a Demonstration by our newest students. Then Issy and I can do another."

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says, "Success!"

Issy presses the open palm of her left hand against the clenched fist of her right and bows
respectfully to you.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to you, "Yes, Abbess."

Lleminara gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Pressing the open palm of your left hand against the clenched fist of your right, you bow
respectfully to Sister Grolet.

Sister Grolet presses the open palm of her left hand against the clenched fist of her right and bows
respectfully to Kerryn.

Sister Grolet says, "Hello, Kerryn. Is there something I can do for you?"

You say, "Do you know much of Bai-tu?"

Sister Grolet says, "I know little of it yet, but it seems my brother Santi created it within his
Tundrol school."

Smiling brightly, Sister Grolet says, "Two of his students, Gregor and Thich, brought a book to the
Abbess that tells all about it. I'm sure I can get them to show a demonstration, however, if you
like."

Relandroc deftly lowers the hood of a cloak of obscurity, revealing his identity.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "So much bowing."

You say, "I'd love to see a demonstration."

Sister Grolet nods her head at you.

Lleminara takes a few steps back and to the side as well, helping create the circle.

Sister Grolet says, "Let me get Gregor and Thich to show a little of how it works."

You see Sister Grolet yell, "Gregor. Thich. We need a demonstration over here."

Brother Gregor Andali slips into the room, smiling broadly.

Cheerfully, Brother Gregor Andali says, "Greetings!"

Brother Thich Yuril slips into the room silently.

Brother Gregor Andali says, "Sister Grolet said that a demonstration was desired."

In an annoyed tone, Brother Thich Yuril says, "Well, obviously."

Brother Gregor Andali snorts arrogantly.

Shrugging his shoulders, Brother Gregor Andali says, "Anyways, suppose we should get started."

Brother Gregor Andali takes a low stance, even on both feet.

Brother Thich Yuril nods his head solemnly.


Brother Thich Yuril takes a low stance, even on both feet.

Punching his arms out before him once each, Brother Gregor Andali has a confident grin across his
features. His movements are strong and agile as he bobs up and down - performing playful punches and
kicks in his motions, a reminder of his school of training. He finishes with a wide kick up that
follows with a tight twirl on the opposite heal - landing perfectly back on his feet on completion.

Clapping her hands wildly, Sister Grolet says, "Huzzah! Good work!"

Kaestrin steps around to the opposite side of Relandroc forming diameter.

Brother Thich Yuril wildly jumps into the air with a kick, punching many times as he lands. He lands
into a squat, jumping with agile motion to perform a second series of motions.

Brother Gregor Andali bobs up and down, punching a left and a right hook. After each hook, he
provides a firm kick forward. Towards the end, he swoops down into a low stance and sweeps a wide
kick in a circle - though loses momentum before he can finish the loop.

Brother Thich Yuril jumps high into the air and twirls at the peak, swirling his legs around in a
series of magestic kicks. As he starts to descend closer to the floor, he swings his arm outwards
and resembles a quick spinning toy as he comes to a perfect landing.

Yeras stands next to Lleminara.

Issy's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Brother Gregor Andali stumbles and is unable to perform any real action, grumbling at himself.

Cringing visible, Sister Grolet says, "Irk. That's quite a mess!"

Brother Thich Yuril jumps high into the air and twirls at the peak, swirling his legs around in a
series of magestic kicks. As he starts to descend closer to the floor, he swings his arm outwards
and resembles a quick spinning toy as he comes to a perfect landing.

Brother Gregor Andali smirks.

Sister Grolet says, "Gregor is done! I will now consider his score, along with Thich's."

Brother Thich Yuril nods his head solemnly.

Sister Grolet says, "Gregor has a score of 21."

Sister Grolet says, "Thich has a score of 31."

Sister Grolet says, "The winner is Thich!"

Brother Gregor Andali inclines his head politely to those around him.

Brother Thich Yuril inclines his head politely to those around him.

Brother Gregor Andali slips out of the room.

Brother Thich Yuril slips out of the room.

Lleminara whistles appreciatively.

Ollas's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says, "That's fast..."

You have emoted: Kerryn nods in agreement, "Aye, well they've had more practice.. so. I imagine
we'll fumble and be much slower."

Comprehension flashes across Kaestrin's face.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says, "Most likely."

Yeras covers his mouth and sneezes.

Kaestrin throws up his hands and cheers wildly for you!

Relandroc nudges Kaestrin suggestively.

Issy slings her pack and her satchel off, landing them near Kaestrin's feet. She begins to move
toward the middle of the circle, stretching her arms overhead as she moves. "Whenever you are,
Abbess."

Issy smiles at you.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the
Queen, "Did you bring the snacks?"

Lleminara gives a slab of buffalo meat to Relandroc.

Kaestrin gives a russet ceramic jug to Relandroc.

Relandroc emits a sudden and excited, "Ooh!"

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "Meat and drink."

Kaestrin sips from an amber ceramic jug of aromatic, amber-coloured brandy.

Relandroc gnaws anxiously on a slab of buffalo meat.

Relandroc sips from a green ceramic jug of iced vodka laced with cactus weed.

You have emoted: Kerryn turns to regard Issy, "Would you care to go first, Sister?" she asks,
stepping forward with a smile. "First time I've attempted to do this... so." she looks over those
present, "No laughing.. or I'll get my pot."

Issy smiles at you.

Kaestrin blinks vacantly, staring at nothing in particular.

"No one would dare, Abbess. Kaestrin would stab them." Issy points out.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says to Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves,

You have emoted: Kerryn rolls up her sleeves, "He going to stab himself?" she asks with amusement.

Kaestrin waggles his eyebrows comically.

Issy seems to think for a moment before nodding slowly.

Kaestrin twirls a vicious light brown dhurive in a circle in front of him.

Lleminara shifts her attention on Issy, awaiting her performance eagerly.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the
Queen, "Stop showing off! Its the ladies turn to perform."

Xenidrha's ears flick toward Issy.

Exhaling slowly Issy strides into the very center of the circle. First, she begins slow, working
herself into a crouch. Her muscles are strong, and she stands firm. Pulling upwards she suddenly
hauls herself into an overhead moon kick that arches her back while she flips in the air! There's a
straight line that makes up her profile. Her landing, coming back into the same crouch is nearly
flawless, barely wobbling on her knee.

Kaestrin congratulates Issy with some wild clapping.

Anaalia claps her hands together merrily.

Lleminara's eyes sparkle with amusement as she gazes upon Issy.

Issy stands up slowly and puts the fist of one hand against the flat of the other, bowing. Moving
away she gestures to the center of the circle, "Abbess?"

Relandroc ponders the situation.

Chiaki's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Kaestrin turns to face Chiaki clenching his right fist and pounding his chest thrice in rapid
succession, symbolizing the vibrant heart that beats within.

You have emoted: Kerryn smiles to Issy, she strides forward, moving faster as she lifts her hands
above her head, tumbling into a somersault. No sooner has her right foot made contact with the
ground then she rotates her upper body, transition into a roundhouse kick, her bare foot missing
Issy's face by about six inches. As she lands on her left foot she slows her rotation and comes to a
stop facing Issy. Smiling, she presses her right fist against her left palm and bows at the waist.

Issy presses the open palm of her left hand against the clenched fist of her right and bows
respectfully to you.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "Oooh I think the gauntlet has been
thrown down."

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Lleminara Tanarian, "I knew I made the
right bet."

Relandroc sticks out his tongue at Lleminara. How rude!

Lleminara blinks.

Issy picks up the quick and easy momentum and launches herself upwards with what should be an easy
movement. Instead, she wobbles slightly, so when she brings her fist down to nearly (but not
actually) land a hard punch against you she fumbles and loses her footing on the landing! Instead,
she ends up almost, but not quite, sprawled while rubbing her wrist. Standing, she humbly bows to
you.

Kaestrin winces in pain.

You have emoted: Kerryn offers Issy an encouraging smile as she retreats and she takes center stage
once more. Widening her stance, she lowers her center of gravity, pushing her hands before her,
thumbs and forefinger pressed together. She holds the position for a split second before rotating
and thrusting her right leg out in an effort to sweep an imaginary opponents legs. Only, as she does
she looses her balance and teeters backwards till she lands on her backside with an oof. Slowly, she
regains her feet, dusting off her kisamoro she steps back.

Lleminara murmurs a soft, empeathic "Oof' as she sees you toppled over, but nevertheless rewards the
demonstration with an approving smile.

Issy glances around you and spies Mileta. Beaming a smile she waves and realizes that it's her turn,
only a little too late. DIstractedly, she throws a weak punch with a rather huge blush on her face.

Relandroc creases his brow in a frown.

Lleminara gives Issy a surprised gasp.

Kaestrin bites down on his bottom lip, visibly troubled.

Xenidrha blinks.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "Maybe I still have a chance to win.
Come on Abbess!"

Relandroc gnaws anxiously on a slab of buffalo meat.

Kaestrin points a vicious light brown dhurive at Relandroc.

Relandroc drinks from a green ceramic jug of iced vodka laced with cactus weed.
Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the
Queen, "No pointy sticks."

Relandroc brandishes a heavy ilmenite fishing rod menacingly.
With a bright smile, Sister Grolet says, "Greetings, outsider."

Clearwater inclines her head politely to those around her.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "Prism light run away!"

Lleminara beams broadly at Clearwater.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "Too late."

Lleminara flails wildly at Relandroc.

Kaestrin greets Clearwater with a sincere smile.

Clearwater Za'lae says, "Greetings, all."

Heartwood Protector, Novitiate Mileta Tae'Daenir exclaims to Clearwater Za'lae, "Rar!"

You have emoted: Kerryn shakes her arms in the hopes of loosing her muscles up as she watches Issy,
flinching visibly as Issy throws her punch. Stepping forward she assumes the cat stance, with her
weight on her left leg, the right is positioned forward so only the sole of her foot is touching the
ground. Suddenly she delivers several quick punches in succession before retreating with a back flip,
which she lands without issue.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Clearwater Za'lae, "I am trying to win
some gold, hopefully if the Abbess doesn't keep falling on her bum."

Relandroc brings his hands together, filling the air with applause.

Anaalia claps her hands together merrily.

Relandroc nudges Lleminara suggestively.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Lleminara Tanarian, "Not looking
promising for you."

Kaestrin congratulates you with some wild clapping.

Her eyes alighty with a hint of annoyance, Lleminara Tanarian says to Cairrfhiadh Relandroc
Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha, "Ya' never know.. Sister Issy got this..!"

Lleminara's eyes sparkle with amusement as she gazes upon Issy.

Kaestrin allows his muscles to relax once more as he ceases to bolster them.

Issy pulls herself up into the Phoenix stance. In doing so, her muscle lines are clean and firm. The
barest of nods occurs while watching you before she goes into a series of punches, each one taking
her a step closer to you. Each punch, though, is shaky, perhaps a case of nervs. Her muscles are
losing their strength and beads of perspiration break out on her brow. Holding through though, the
small Yeleni finishes with a hammerfist that would land on your leg, but hits the air just next to
it as it's supposed to. The retreating swing through the air is executed, and it's apparent her mind
is on the failure of her punch series, feet landing too widely apart. It makes her wobble, and
instead of landing on feet, she drops to one knee.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Clearwater Za'lae, "You have paper and
something to write with?"

Clearwater Za'lae says, "Nah. I memorize things, usually."

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "Better not, Kaestrin will stick me with
his Dhurive."

Kaestrin nods his head in agreement.

Lleminara Tanarian says to Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha, "Thwap'im back with
your pole.."

Clearwater smirks at Mileta.

Kaestrin sniffles at Lleminara softly.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen exclaims, "I'm not a fish!"

Xenidrha rubs her eyes.

Clearwater pats an orange and white tiger cub in a friendly manner.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the
Queen, "But she kinda is."

Relandroc points accusingly at Lleminara.

You have emoted: Kerryn smiles at Issy, nodding slightly, clearly impressed despite the slight shaky
nature of Issy's movements. She takes a deep breath and steps forward and takes up the stance of the
eagle. Balancing on her right leg, knee bent so her center of gravity is low. She crosses her left
leg over her right and leans her upper body forward, but as she does she looses her balance and
nearly falls face first, only her hands stopping her descent. With a frown, she straightens and
steps back.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says, "Jus' 's long as ya don' swing that rod this way."

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Lleminara Tanarian, "That was a feint,
the Abbess did that intentionally to draw Issy out of a defensive posture and lure her into a
vunerable position."

Lleminara slowly starts to back away from Relandroc, making no sudden movements.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Lleminara Tanarian, "It was in no way a
failed motion."

Lleminara snickers under her breath.

Relandroc nods his head at himself.

Lleminara Tanarian asks Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha, "Jus' like that bum-
topplin'..?"

Lleminara eyes Relandroc, giving him the once over.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "Exactly."

Kaestrin opens his mouth but says nothing.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "You have to understand monk tactics.
"

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says to Lleminara Tanarian, "Careful, Abbess Kerryn has
a mighty pot of discipline."

Issy pulls up, fully, into Dragon stance. In doing so, she keeps going. She hauls herself upwards,
muscles twitching and eyes flinching as she puts her all into it! Twirling over you in a spin she
launches several punches that would target the head to disorient her foe and when she lands, she is
back to back with you. Her right foot swings upwards in an arcing kick that is aimed at your head.
At the last moment however, her thigh muscle seizes and she doesn't get nearly the hight on the kick
required for such an awe inspiring thing. Turning back to you, panting roughly, she bows to her
Abbess respectfully.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says to Lleminara Tanarian, "See it worked
perfectly, Issy charged in and her attack was foiled."

Kaestrin raises his index finger to his lips and emits a forceful "Shhhh!" at Relandroc.

Kaestrin turns back to the center ring, intently watching the Bai-tu trial at hand.

You have emoted: Kerryn grins at Issy as she steps forward and quickens her pace before tumbling
forward in a one handed hand stand. She holds the position, though her form isn't as straight as it
should be. Her legs swing forward and she rights herself with a small hop, quickly transitioning
into a round house kick, landing with a small stumble. Finished, she offers Issy a bow, her right
fist pressing against her left palm. "Thank you, Sister."

Issy smiles in return to you, fist against palm as she bows at the waist. "It was a pleasure. Thank
you, Abbess."

You have emoted: Kerryn smiles to those present, "That concludes the demonstration, any questions?"
she asks.

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen asks, "Did I win?"

Beyam Anaalia says, "Not that I can think of."

Issy moves away from you and to Kaestrin with a grin. She picks up her bags and slings them over her
shoulder. Rummaging through her satchel she gets a pitcher of tea.

Kaestrin gives Issy a peck on the cheek.

Issy leans comfortably on Kaestrin.

Issy smiles at Kaestrin.

Yeras exhales slowly, allowing a long fluid breath to creep from his lungs.

Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a Eadha says, "A draw?"

Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen says to Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves,
"Good job, hon. Kerryn's a beast though!"

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Elder Kaestrin Silverain, Will of the Queen,
"She's the Abbess for a reason."

Issy's eyes sparkle with amusement.

Kaestrin grins and nods.

Little Aasaru Issy Lynceus, Monk of the Waves says to Cairrfhiadh Relandroc Forestwalker Couanntol-a
Eadha, "This was not judged as it was just a demonstration."

You have emoted: "Aye, just a demonstration." Kerryn says with a laugh.
