Jared couldn't help but evaluate the moves as they were doing in the fight. Martial arts was a hobby of his. He had a black belt in aikido himself. But it was hard to think about it too much. There were kids there - and a lot of them. It brought to his mind the fact that soon enough he'd have one of his own. The There were a few young girls, some older and some younger. There were also boys, one of which carried a infant child. One of the younger girls went and and activated a tennis ball machine and shot it at Elyse.
Then began the discipline. Nox spoke to the girl who resisted. His voice was emotionless. The little girl stood her ground though almost as if she was daring Nox to do something. Nox gave her an out. She refused. Nox followed through and took the girl out screaming and biting. Jared watched the situation, and was grateful he had a few years before he would have to deal with that kind of discipline.
Part of Jared wanted to follow and see how Nox dealt with the situation. But he felt like he shouldn't. He thought he should touch base with Nox later and ask him about what he did later. He didn't want to distract Nox and embarrass the child. But he looked back to that group of kids. Kids that maybe had been excited to see a spar. They now looked back and forth between the adults in the room. The kids needed something.
Jared looked down to Rachel, seated on the floor. Her eyes were on the young man with the infant. Rachel knew about Emily's pregnancy, and he wondered what she was thinking about as she looked at the baby. Rachel then looked at him and gave a slight smile - forced but there. The whole situation was difficult.
Jared then turned to Elyse then removed his shoes and approached, giving her a slight martial arts bow with a smile. Elyse smiled back and bowed. Jared approached and got into a stance and Elyse attacked. He moved with a practiced ease, moving with her, twisting her attack and Elsye was pulled to the ground and rolled out of it. Jared wasn't quite sure where he was going with this yet, but maybe he could figure something out.
