* She smiles briefly. * Thank you Master Xeno. No more than a couple of days, I think. Ah, the session is finishing. * In the dojo, the dwarf had dismissed the students woith a word, and they all stood, sheathed their weapons and headed to the exit in silence. The dwarf turned to the door and planted his feet firmly. * Well, young Nadira? Who be this you bring to my door? * Nadira bowed. * Master Rockcrusher, may I present Xeno Zohar, presently Senior Instructor at the Haye Centre, for psionics. Master Zohar, this is Hagrid Rockcrusher, Master of the Axe here. * Hagrid scowled. * Psionic, eh? What brings ye here then boy? You're welcome, Nadira.>Victus meows at not being introduced. Xeno smiles.< Nice to meet you, Master Rockcrusher. I'm here to discuss the training of one of my students in the way of the axe. I was hoping you could help him.

* Hagrid Rockcrusher scowls. *
One o'your students seeks to learnt he way o'the axe, eh? Seems odd for one who studies powers of the mind, it does. Is he a focussed enough warrior to learn all the ways I teach, or does he just seek to learn basic martial prowess?

Oh yes, he's focused. Oskar is a good student, a natural with the axe and pretty good with his abilities, too.>Victus meows again, not happy about being ignored.<

*Hagrid grins fiecely. * 'Tis not esy to adopt the path of weapon mastery, as there are many things that must be learned before ye have the right concepts to focus your mind.
Is he learning how to manoevre in for a strike then gettin' away? How to weave a net with his weapon to protect himself from enemy blows? Multiple attacks against people who drop their guard?
Or is he just focussed on learning to hit things?
* Nadira kneels and pets Victus. *

That's why I'm trying to find someone else to train him in the ways of the blade. I know Psionics. I don't know much about this stuff.

* Hagrid smiles grimly. *
So ye don't let yer pride stand in the way of findin' out what yer student needs to know. Good.
I can teach people marual skills, and several come here to learn jus tthat. But some come to learn how to focus Ki through a weapon. To train in this, the student has to learn to make multiple attacks against people who let their guard down and learn to be able to attack everyone close to him with one set of motions. The latter takes a considerable amount of effort because of the things that must be learned with it; attacking as you move past an enemy, defensive work wiith the blade, how to duck and dodge to avoid blows actively. And of course, be nimble and clever. lastly he may never wear heavy armour to learn this.
I am willing to teach either. What is it you wish him to learn, and what does he wish to learn?

Hm... I'm not sure what he wants yet, but I know he loves his axe and wants more than just thwap thwap thwap. He hopes to become skilled in the use of his axe. I'll put these choices before him and see.

Anything else I can do ye?

* He takes Xeno's hand in a firm grip. * Aye Zohar, a pleasure.
Nadira, see him where he wishes to go.
* Nadira bows and Hagrid walks off. *
Do you wish to see anyone else, Master Zohar?

Might as well chat while I'm here, though. How've you been, Nadira?

I am well thank you Master Zohar.
They work you hard here, but when they take you on you either learn, and fast, or they kick you out.

*Nadira continues to pet Victus as she speaks. *
They set you challenges to make you grow here. It is hard work, but they really know their business.
Master Rockcrusher's way is not for me. He is extremely quick with that axe of his though.
Most of the time I train under Master Gondarsson, but my formal master is Master Andrewin. I am extremely fortunate to be his student.

He seems like an interesting fellow. Weapons like that were never really my way either. Actually, weapons in general were never really my way.
He sounds like a good teacher.
