Tadashii: Sometimes you cut the leaf, sometimes the leaf cuts you.
Flaming Squirrel
Ken might also make the tree fall on you.

Tadashii’s got some old Russian blood in him.
Jordan Hiller
OK… so when is she going to make her point?
Sunwu
yeah CUT to the chase
Kid Chaos
We need more SLASH fiction!
Flaming Squirrel
CUT it out, you guys. You don’t have that RAZOR SHARP wit.
Xinef
Guys, no matter how you SLICE it, someone has to be BLUNT.
Flaming Squirrel
You cut me to the quick, sir.

I think we need to sheath this conversation.
Flaming Squirrel
Is this our sheath and desist?
Kid Chaos
It is a most PENETRATING question!
Sunwu
But we haven’t even gotten to the PUNCH line yet
Kid Chaos
Too DULL! You need to SHARPEN your wits!
Flaming Squirrel
Oh, now I get it! Ken cuts down the trees while Yori takes out the leaves! It all makes so much sense now! Together they will open NO NEED FOR BRUSH-IDO! They will trim and/or remove your bush-idos, and your tree-idos.
Kid Chaos
Little did they know, the TREEVENGANCE was coming…

Let the bromancing begin! But What is Cho’s role in this tree takedown?
Flaming Squirrel
He does the marketing.
“The ugly tree that is not promptly cut down will surely attract the wrath of spiteful neighbors.”
Speedy Marsh
He’s Shedder.
GKoH
And now Ken just cuts through the tree? One man and one sword for one role, another man and another sword for another role?

Tree cutting and leaf cutting are, perhaps, not very equal goals.
Lady Courage
“Almost indefinitely” is nearly the most ambiguous statement I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
Kid Chaos
Note the operative word, “almost”.
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
That’s Joe’s brilliance shining through.
Lady Courage
I’m going to find a way to use it in conversation someday. Will let you know how it goes.
Mike
My thoughts exactly, got a good chuckle out of that.
Xinef
Only one leaf? You ain’t done till you can cut all of them before any single one falls to the ground!
Flaming Squirrel
Blindfolded
Xinef
With both your arms tied behind your back. And don’t forget that anchor tied to your legs, while you’re thrown into the sea.
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
That’s it, that’s the training.
Flaming Squirrel
Can we set the sea on fire?
Xinef
NO! That would make things too easy!
Da’Zlein
Don’t forget the cloth over your mouth, can’t have students thinking they can get away with biting the sword!
Reminds me of the day my pistol instructor told me “Now quit wasting bottles.” and proceeded to shoot out the larger pieces left from the one shot broken bottles. I get the feeling that Yori is gonna have to “Stop wasting leaves” and has to start slicing them in quarters or eighths before they hit the ground.
If for no other reason, because Matrix can…

HMMM…
Dichu
I think these Matrix training sessions are a testament to Ina’s abilities. Here Matrix is, giving swords and advice on how to fight to all the others, while Ina just had to be told that others had problems, too. Sure, that makes her the least considerate person in a group that includes Ken, but she knows how to do her job and, now that she’s aware of them, will probably play a big part in solving the others’ problems.

Let’s not put Ina down too much! Ken got sword advice AND had to be told friends matter!
