[Have sword, will travel. Katie's in the forest today, travelling with ...a purpose. She's hunting for Sigmund's shoe. Though she's also looking just in the hope that she might find a Sanji under a bush somewhere, and may stop to pounce a spider or two (they may survive the experience), and eventually just make a tally of everything she can find

[Ikki is out in the forest as well, doing some combat training. He's surrounded by fire, apparently doing some sort of "fighting shadow" training, except that instead of his shadow he's using the fire as sparring partner of sorts.

There's no risk to approach him, thought. The fire isn't burning anything and won't harm Katie should she choose to approach him.]

[flamesofanger]

[Still hidden, eh? Well, that's good, if she's there she won't get hurt.]

Hmm... I think first I should make sure I haven't lost shape, and this rock here is an annoyance anyway. Let's see... The smallest amount of power of a Saint.

[He'll give Katie a small show, there won't be any flames thought. Ikki won't be using his Cosmos, just punching the stone... There's a loud sound, of something breaking and less than a second after the rock is destroyed, not just break but turned into dust leaving only a mark on the ground to testify of its existence.]

Not bad.

...the tree is totally squeaking at you.]

[Looking at that squeaking tree with a suspicious glare.]

I hope I didn't scare you, old tree. I won't hurt you, I promise.

[flicker_flash]

[Okay, so now the tree is giggling. Clearly this is tree-speak for "Oh thank you, I am much assured."]

[flamesofanger]

[Ikki arches an eyebrow at the giggling tree but decides to ignore it. Instead he will sit down and extent his arms, setting his open hands in front of him.]

Let's see if I remember how this was done. Focus my energy in the palms of my hands, concentrate in making it flow towards them... Control my breathing and slow it down as much as possible so it doesn't drain too much energy.

Hmm, it may be better if I close my eyes and imagine that I'm trying to push a rock with all my strength. I have to focus on that as much as possible.

[He won't be focusing all in his hands thought, instead he'll be keeping close eye on Katie's Cosmos, curious to see what will the child do. Sit and watch? Or will she actually try it too?]

[Oh, she will try. She's very good at imagining, too. Doubtful that she's successful, but she is very much giving it her all. ..and making faces of fierce concentration to boot.]

[flamesofanger]

[He can feel her trying, her Cosmos flickering and changing as she does. She does have a good level of Cosmos for someone of her age, not to mention that she has basically two Cosmos inside of her. And they seem to move at the same time, it shouldn't take much longer until she can feel and see the effects of the exercise.

Meanwhile Ikki's hands begin to glow, as he keeps concentrating the glow seems to transform acquiring an orange color and finally appearing as if his hands were on fire. Given Katie's lack of training it's probable that it won't acquire such a defined form on her first try but it still should show up.]
