*old man is derping around the open areas, having just finished up another round of training with his spear*

[passing by! And stopping to greet Ed when he sees him]

Yo, Ed!

Ah, hey, Ling! You're finished with your own training for the day?

[Smiling at! Also he has bandages over his neck and wrists]

Training is on hold for a few days, actually...! Kakashi made a deal with Dellen to stay put.

*there are so many injuries around this place...*

He did? What's he getting out of it?

Healing for a friend. Dellen will take that sort of deal if it's urgent and there's no other offering to give— I did one like that back when me and Kakashi got injured on our first day.

So, how's your own training going? [teasing] Keeping fit despite the age?

I've always been fit. Want to find out?

[grinning]

Heh. I wouldn't mind that, actually— I'm glad you asked.

You think you can keep up with me?

Ah, who knows~! Only one way to find out, isn't there?

*hefts his spear back into a ready position*

I guess you're right about that.

[sword at the ready, getting in position as well]

Don't worry about me going easy on you, I'm not that stupid.

Good. Don't you be thinking I've gone soft over the past few years, either.

Oh, I wouldn't. So? What are you waiting for?

((ooc: I NEVER SAW THE NOTIFY I'M SO SORRY))

Nothing at all.

*and he's moving in and swinging the spear at you. think fast!*

((OOC: No worries, glad you came back to it!))

[jumping up like the not!ninja I am, wheeling in the air to land behind Ed, and dashing toward him to attack him right after]

*gosh my teacher never tried that one |D spinning and swinging the spear with him, it's headed for you low but at an upward angle*

[surprised at that, but there's a smile on his face and he's dropping down, trying to move out of the way]

Not bad!

*evaded! pausing the spear at the top of the swing, to redirect the momentum behind it*

I could say the same for you.

Well, I've been training every day, after all.

Kakashi must be a good teacher. He's even got you fighting with some skill.

I've always had skills, Ed. But—

[and dashing forward to attack again!]

Thank you kindly!

*parrying the attack with his spear*

Really? Because I remember you having Ran Fan and Fu do your dirty work for you.

Well, I still had to eat dessert, after all.

[not stopping with the attacks— and paying attention to Ed's movements for an opening]

*he's moving pretty well for an old guy :|b though is that a slight opening to move in close?*

If I remember right, it was my cenz paying for that desert, too.
