It's just a little bit frightening...

Ranma is the middle of the grounds, in the middle of a very elaborate kata.

Man, those kicks are fast as lightning.

It's very fluid, advanced work. The kata ends with a chop that manages to fell a small oak tree.

He clears, breathes, and bows.

Any comments from the peanut gallery?

You looking for applause?

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

If you feel like it. I know I'm good and what anyone else thinks don't matter to me.

[handsoffthehat.livejournal.com]

Heh. You're alright.

But you wouldn't be practicing out where everyone can see you if you weren't trying to impress.

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

The sim room doesn't feel right with me. This is more like where I used to practice.

[handsoffthehat.livejournal.com]

Mm-hmm. And the screaming fangirl's just a bonus. Nothing wrong with strutting your stuff, but owe up to it, huh?

I don't think they'll be too pleased about you chopping down their trees, by the way.

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

[And Ranma just. Stares at you.]

...okay, I'll take it to the sim room then.

[handsoffthehat.livejournal.com]

You do that. I'll see if I can route some little girls around your way for motivation.

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

DON'T. The very LAST thing I need is fangirls.

[handsoffthehat.livejournal.com]

Fanboys?

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

EVEN WORSE.

[handsoffthehat.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I wouldn't have pegged you as the shy type.

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

I'm engaged to a crazy jealous woman, okay?!

[handsoffthehat.livejournal.com]

Congratulations.

Most people try to sound happy when they talk about their fiances. Just a heads-up.

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

Not like it was my decision.

[handsoffthehat.livejournal.com]

. . . Shotgun wedding?

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

Blackbelt. Same idea.

[handsoffthehat.livejournal.com]

Huh. I'd make a wisecrack, but I think I actually feel bad for you.
