—Takanuva is a bit confused, but he soon figures out what Quartz means. Perhaps Quartz is like the Artakha Bulls and is more intelligent than his speech allows.—
@Quartz: Takanuva, Toa of Light. Pleased to meet you Quartz.
@Six: Say Six, since we're at the Training grounds, have you thought up a plan for the training I asked about?
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.—Takanuva snickers a little. Maybe this is what it's like to see Turaga Nokama when she's teaching. Only taller. And stronger. Like her Toa self. Actually that's a little terrifying thinking what she'd do if Takanuva were to nod off during one of her teachings if she was still a Toa.—
@Quartz: And you as well.
@Six: Well, I'm not losing any less time standing around. Might as well start now, I suppose. (Mumbling: Much as I wish otherwise.) >.>

'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Six: I will reiterate; this is as much practice as theory. You'll be spending a lot of time learning how to throw fists, beer bottles, pool pins, and stools around. At the end of the day close-quarters combat is very, very simple; two people are standing across from each other and both want the other dead.
So don't waste any time and don't act flashy. Kill or disable them as fast as you can, as hard as you can, and don't give them a chance to get one in on you. When it's your life on the line, everything is fair game.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."—Takanuva hears Six's words, but the message leaves him uncomfortable. Toa are supposed to fight with honor, and pride. Six was telling Takanuva to take that pride and throw it into the sea. Maybe with time he could adjust to it, but fighting to the death? To 'kill? That was unacceptable to his code as a Toa.—
@Six: Alright Six. I'll try to adjust. But know this much: I will never, ever go for the kill unless all other options are exhausted. I can acclimate to fighting like a piraka, a thug, if I must, but I will not take another life. That much, you must know prior. So, what would you wish to teach first to me?

Black Hole: (@Suzu) My day is fine so far. Anything happen to you today?
