"ah, that was handmade like the cloth you are wearing now, i sewed those clothes all night last night!" he clapped when you did it right and corrected you when you had small problems. after some time he stopped you from the training "now lets take a break and master our balance" he drew a yin and yang symbol on the air, as if he was drawing on paper. "practice makes perfect"
(quote from my teacher and he quoted that from some one i dunno, its good to give credits)
he got up from his position with all serious look and shifted into a japanese samurai master, and laughed at him self "ok lets get serious now" he tried making himself look funny so you guys wont get too serious in this fight training. if you guys get too serious it might become a little boring.

Iist took a second look at the dummy, then the top she was wearing. "Oh, wow, you even make your own clothes? You're so talented, Rem!" she laughed.

"Balance?" Iist tilted her head as Rem pretended to be her sensei of sorts. She smiled as he laughed, glad that he could stay light-hearted at a time like now. "Gotcha, thanks, teacher," she said, shaking herself off to get back into training. She remembered that although there were dangers around, the part of the forest that they were in was safe and comfortable, loosening herself from the stress.

"call me sensei" he lift one brow up, and touched his long mustache. than he turned back to normal. "the balance will be quite hard for beginners" he jumped and threw the bamboo stick down, while he floated balance fully on the stick and lifted one leg up putting all weight on one foot and balencing his body to a straight line.
"this is what a master can do. but in your level we will be balancing on stones near the river, if you fall down you will be wet!" he giggled a bit, imagining you falling down.

"Alrighty, sensei," Iist snickered. She marveled at Rem balancing on his stick. "Oooh, that's what you mean by balance." Rubbing her shoulders from swinging for so long, she took another break. "There's a river near here?"

"you didnt see the chocolate river right behind you?"

"BUT DONT DRINK IT! its called chocolate river cuz so many animals poop in there" he makes a funny face while saying that

"Oh, no, I didn't see it." Iist turned around behind her to look for it, thinking she was so absorbed in training that she didn't notice it at first. "Ew, haha. Here I was thinking it'd be clean and stuff!"

"nah ah! if you fall down, it will be too funny! now lets get there on one rock and balance on one foot!"

Iist found it silly that Rem was entertained, but was happy nonetheless. She walked down to the river and hopped onto a rock next to the shore. It was a bit slippery but she steadied herself on both feet, then slowly lifted one leg upward. "Like this?" she called out.

"yep" Rem did a hand stand and walked around the rock. Than while he was trying to put his feet down he slipped into the poop water "GAH!"
"you will pay for this slippery rock!" he yelled at rock trying to get up

Iist laughed at Rem falling into the water, though it still ran clear, so she hardly believed that it was as 'crappy' as Rem made it out to be. She kept putting down her other leg to get her bearings on the rock, which was kind of cheating instead of maintaining her balance on one foot, but she didn't want to get into the water if it really was 'poop water.
