Xi heads outside the city walls to train, away from the monks or the war fields.

Known as the Celestial Seat, Nyka is a religious city in Northern Sylira. Ruled by four demigods and traversed by a large crevice, the monk-city is both mystical and dangerous. [Lore]
He kissed her back and watched her hand move a few random strands of his hair out the way before she placed her ear over his chest. His hear beat slow and steady as it was when ever he wasn't doping that with her. Though Xi listened to her saying he looked somewhat like a drykas. but who wsa this davopn she mentioned...? Even though it was curious he didn't bring it up, mostly to make sure that he didn't intrude not hat he wasn't curious but he could see that it made her uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and let his hands over his head feeling what she'd done. it was...strange, it felt secure whilst begin free to move...He wasn't sure if he liked it or not. he took a deep breath before throwing his hand out to the side away from her in a very fast jab just to see how it felt ion motion. And oddly it felt stable he smirked before telling her. "Well i don't know how it looks but i like the stability it's firm whilst begin free to move." A smile upon his face e he threw a few more moves at his top speed and strength.
She watched him in amazement, smiling wide and checking along with him if the hairdo was any good. She was concerned about both it looking good and being practical, since she knew her own hair was annoying at times. Her body then shivered lightly, fingers still running through Luc's fur.
It seemed as if she was getting too lazy, so she just decided she'd do a bit of stretching, while she watched him. Her body started lowering itself as her legs spread, finally touching the ground and shifting from one split to the other slowly. Grunting in both pleasure and some pain since she didn't stretch properly in a while, she remained facing him I hope you will like it.. it is, if nothing, practical for training.. I tend to wear it like that... or anything similar really... it doesn't get in the way
Xi fell into his true fighting pose for the first time now in front of aleksi. and brought out his true strength and speed. Arms flashing out like a blur before snapping back into place and kicks that looked powerful enough to break stone. Xi stayed in stance running through his motions powering them out as fast as possible to try and increase his speed further. Snapping out punches so fat he could barely keep track, he was acting purely from body memory, his mind having memorized every single punch he could and would be able to throw, every kick he could launch and every lock he could roll. Xi thought he'd take this chance to test out a newly developed technique. Xi took a deep breath and spoke slowly under his breath. "To freeze all things...Ice blue." he mumbled out the djed chant to focus his mind too, acting these days as both a djed focuser AND a mind focuser Xi tossed out a kick to about abdomen height before rolling his body back across only his upper half and then tossing his other leg out as a head left kick to drop his target like a log, before spinning mid air and landing back in his feet.
Aleksi's body stretched as she leaned over to one leg, then the other. Her shoulders rolling back, eyes closing before she heard a sound that seemed like someone was, quite literally cutting air. Looking up at Xi, she saw him... standing properly.. so strong, so proud... so tall with his head high. Taking a deep breath, she felt her cheeks blush a bit again, but her eyes not daring to move from him. His moves were so fast, so powerful.. and then that last bit, made her just... gasp for air in amazement.
That... was.. amazing, she managed to mumble, her eyes wide open and her heart beating quite fast. She could only hope that one day, she'd be as good as he is... that she'll be able to stand hand in hand with him and proudly go to Endrykas, to avenge her family.. her father's shed tears over her mother... and his lost pride... Stop it Aleksi! her brain screamed out You are getting too attached to him.. you must stop... but she didn't listen, she didn't care really.
Xis feet touched the ground again and his ams dropped to his sidess as he ook a few steps back and forth. Just to make sure he hadn't puled anything. Then Xi looked over at her legs apart and her torso touching the ground, a light bllush on her face and he herd her mumble out a few words about that me being "Amazing". It was a little dificult to Xi's mind sure but it want impossible he hadnt even tested his limits yet. As far as he could tell that was a fairly moderate move. Still Xi came over and offfered her a hand up before saying ina lightly joking manner. "Are you ok there, you look like your kinda stuck." He gave her a small jibe but s her hand gripped is he could feel her hert beat through her wrist, it was...Fast, and some what erratic unlike usual. Which brought forth a lok of concern. "Are you alright...Your face is flush an i can feel your beartbet in your wrist..." He was concerned, really concerned.
Aleksi's frowned as she heard his comment, rolling her eyes and adding quietly Cocky giant before she moved her leg up to her shoulder, stretching before him once more, to make sure everything was working properly.
Shaking her head a bit, her leg moved down and she stepped closer to him, letting her body brush against his. With a cheeky smile, she whispered I'm fine.. I was just... reminded of you in other situations, seeing you move like that. Knowing the poor giant would end up with flushed cheeks after that himself, and all she could do is giggle before heading towards Nigh, giving his neck a gentle rub, which made the Strider stomp his hoof on the ground. He missed her.. well.. they missed each other...
Almost as if to answer his jest when she stood up she brought her leg up to her shoulder. Turning a mild shade of red he made a mental note to remember she could do that for later. She came closer to him and he felt her almost teasingly brush against him probably trying to elicit a reaction which she got, in spades with her words. That giggle signalling she got the reaction she was after. He gave her a almost sarcastic look saying "happy now?" as she left to tend to her strider. Xi smirked lightly as he watched her walk, or rather watched part of her as she walked. Shaking his head lightly he snapped out of it, before tossing out a few more punches. He really had to focus, or else he was going too...Ah screw it. he chased after her. Wondering what else she'd have him do with her today...

Additional Notes :
Phew! Big one, but not really bad. I liked the differences between the two of them, their mentalities, but I thought that Xi was a little standoffish towards Aleksi. However, that may be the point: man's damn-near a monk, anyway.
I did like the teaching approach Xi demonstrated, very paced and serious, and your knowledge of unarmed combats is, of course, formidable. I hope Aleksi comes back soon, she's a good foil for you.
