The first steps of the path

[21:52] "Well, they are as follows:

The Virtues are Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Politeness, Honesty, Honor and Loyalty.

The Keyes to Health are Rational nutrition, sensible exercise, efficient rest, proper hygiene and a positive attitude.

The three states of mind are known as Zanshin, Alertness. Munshin, A clear mind and Fudoshin, an emotional balance."

Pausing after that he'd offer a single nod.

[22:01] Terran nodded as he continued to listen to the tenants of Xin's style. He would then parrot them back to Xin.

"Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Politeness, Honest, Honor and Loyal. Those are the 7 seven Virtues....got it. Rational Nutrition, Sensible Exercise, Efficient Rest, proper hygiene and positive attitude. Those are the 5 keys to health....got it and The 3 stats are Zanshin, Munshin and Fudoshin or otherwise known as Alertness, A clear mind and emotional balance....got it."

His eyes then drifted upwards and to the right as his face scrunched showing the boy was obviously lost in thought.

"Hey Xin....even if I don't use a sword if I follow the Seven, Five, Three would it help make me stronger?!"
(Terran)

[22:03] Upon the question asked Xin would remain silent for the moment. His steel gaze locked upon Terrans own. But such was short lived given he'd respond after a minute or so.

"Following the Seven-Five-Three will help keep you on the path of honor. But, personally, I do believe it is what lies at the roots of my own strength.

This code has gotten me through my life thus far. From spars to actually battling on the front lines of the war. So, yes, I do believe it could make you stronger.

If you dedicate yourself to it and make it your path."
(Xin'Kro)

[22:13] Terran's demeanor seemed to change as Xin's began to speak after their gazes met. He contemplated what Xin had said for a few moments. He even consider that Xin said he had battled in the war as well.

"At this point, all I know is I want to...no I have to get stronger.. If the seven-five-three will give me strength. Then I will try to live by it. I know it wont be easy because following it sounds easy but I know in reality life might throw curve balls at me but I assume that challenge is what gives one strength. As my brother Nero always said a man who has struggled is a man who will become strong."
