The twins lead Chuck to what appears to be a degrading military compound. Except the canons on the walls appear to be brand new. At least the door is open and yes, there are red heads walking in and out. A few of the people were small children, the oldest about ten, playing under the watchful eye of an older man. They don't appear to be threatening at all. Though a few of them do carry weapons, blasters.

"Welcome to what has been nick named Delvar Keep," Kale said with slight bow.

Chuck jumps back, just missing getting hit. Of course by doing so, he lost his balance slightly and teetered to stay on his feet.

The twins clap. "Oh very nice," Kale says, and then explains what he did wrong and how to avoid losing his balance.

Trever then tries to hit him again.

This time Trevor connects and Chuck stands there, a bit stunned for a moment.

"Ow."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"... You're still standing. That's good," Trever says, while Kale does not snigger.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Yeah...I guess I wasn't ready yet though. I'm ready now."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Kale waved a finger at him. "You can't do that, say you're ready now. Because really your opponent isn't going to wait until you say you're ready now."

"I know in real life they won't. But I gotta learn how to either block or dodge or something before I can fight in real time..."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"True," Kale said and then gestured to Trever. "Hit him again."

"Yessir!" And grinning, Trever took another swing at him.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Chuck exclaimed as he dashed back to avoid Trever.

He stood there blinking for a moment. "Well thus far we've proved what I thought...I have running away down pat..."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"We should back you up against a wall."

"Or have you try and avoid Annalia..." The twins look thoughtful.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"This won't involve bonking my head into it repeatedly does it?"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Not if you block or dodge correctly," Kale said, before glancing over at Trever. "I think it would be kinder to do that then Annalia."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Who or what is Annalia anyway?"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"She's our four year old cousin."

"We gave her a toy lightsaber,"

"And she's been going around whacking people with it." The twins grin.

"I think I could talk a kid out of hitting me. I'm pretty good with kids actually. But I don't see how avoiding a kid would really help me for self defense lessons."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

They grin. "Perhaps you're right," Trever says. "So, take a few steps backwards so that you're closer to the wall. I promise not to bash your head into it."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Chuck backs towards the wall. "All right. So...what do I need to do now?"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Same thing as before, but now you'll have less room to maneuver, so you'll have to try and dodge," Kale explained.

Trever held up his fingers, counting down, "One, two, three." And then he swung at Chuck.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Chuck ducked, gasping a bit as he did so.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"One, two, three." And he swung again.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Gah!" Chuck exclaimed, as he ducked again.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Kale gave out some quick pointers as Trever counted down again.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Apparently the lesson isn't over," Chuck commented waiting to duck yet again.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Trever swung.

"We want to make sure you've got it," Kale said as his brother took a hit.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Chuck nodded. "How about learning how to block some stuff next?"
