A blink, and the blush was most certainly visible he was sure; she'd surprised him. Brave girl, but he knew that. A moment later his brain realized--oh yeah, she had more experience than he did with this kind of thing. And a half-second after that was a realization of wait...wait-she-feels-it-too-huh?
"A-At it's most basic, think of ki as the sum total of your body, mind, and soul being in balance." Darnit, please ignore the stutter. "When you first arrived, and I first sensed it, it was because you were out of balance." Another deep breath, and the barest of shift of his posture and hold. Matching her pace, holding her hand back actively, as his head went down and he tried to ignore the flush he could feel.
"Since then though, not only have you been training regularly, but you've also been trying to get yourself in balance. Like not giving into urges you used to, as a way of escaping, like you said. You're bringing yourself more in balance, so your ki is stronger."
He could do this--hand holding was nice. The back of his brain was trying to figure out if this was indeed confirmation she was aware of that shift, that change between them too. Or was this just a friend thing?
