<Sandwitches> Lou takes a deep breath, smiling as she floats 5 feet above the couch, in the middle of meditation as the children play in the next room...

<Sciencegar> She becomes aware of someone observing her in her meditation.

<Sandwitches> A single eye opens a peek.

<Sciencegar> She sees Elsa standing there, silently observing her.

<Sandwitches> The eye closes.  "Hey."

<Sciencegar> "Are you performing Martial Arts, robo?"

<Sandwitches> "Kind of.  What I use is an... adpatation of a style my... teacher... taught me."

<Sciencegar> "How does it work, Robo?"

<Sandwitches_> "The normal version of the style focuses on the mastery of your will and your blade and removing the barriers between them."

<Sciencegar> "I see, Robo."

<Sandwitches_> "Why?"

<Sciencegar> "I never upgraded myself for Martial Arts, robo. I had sufficient combat ability, and the illogical elements didn't appeal, robo."

<Sandwitches_> "...  Upgraded yourself?  You need an upgrade to preform martial arts?"

<Sciencegar> "Yes, robo. Martial Arts require particular essence flows and upgrades to mental spi-rit-ool-ism to properly perform, robo."

<Sandwitches_> "...  Huh..."

<Sciencegar> "Is that so unusual, robo?"

<Sandwitches_> "I guess I just never thought of it as something that a cyborg would need an upgrade to use...  It makes me wonder about Subaru...  and Guy."
