The meeting (good people only plz)

"You try it." he said encouragingly, handing her the knife.

Akira took the knife and got a good grip of it. "How do I do it?" She asked. Akira wanted to make sure she did things right, so in battle, she was surely not to go down without a fight.

"Just like that. You're a natural!" Cai encouraged. He was glad this part was going smoothly.

Akira practiced her close-ranged attacks. She was very pleased with herself, but not sure if it could take down one of those strong evil people.

"You keep practicing that, I'm going to go look at swords," Cai said, walking off to another part of the store.

Akira nodded, still deep in practice.

Off in the Sword section, Cai picked up different swords, feeling their weight, testing them with a few swings. Ah, this is what I need, half-and half, one-handed. Perfect he thought, picking up a strange blade. It was wooden on one side, steel on the other.He started trying it out with a few strokes, then went full-on battle mode. Swinging and striking at imaginary enemies.
