He nodded. "I told them as much, but the construct think I would listen to one of you more than them. Which is silly, but even constructs have their irrational moments I guess."<br/><br/>He slipped into a martial arts stance, left hand leading in what was clearly a casting position, but the right hand was up and back, fingers hooked like claws. His stance was wide and low, letting him move and dodge quickly, though it wasn't a standard or even uncommon stance. "This is my personal, unique art. Care to play? I was planning to teach most of the kids when they got old enough, but..."<br/><br/>He sighed and shook his head, before focusing back on her. "So it might be too late to get them trained in it. It does things a bit counter to nearly every other martial arts out there, but that is why it excels. It does things that surprise them, and put them off balance. Of course, combining magic and fists doesn't exactly hurt either."
