His subtle but vigorous nodding and widened eyes pointed to a general agreement with her findings. Yes, Yomdi's cheese had slipped almost all the way off of his cracker. [color=b8860b]"Don't mean he's wrong, though."[/color] Keystone stepped forward with Sana to the center of the room, where the Temple Master had instructed she be placed, and knelt down to place her upon the ground. [color=b8860b]"Mayhap he'll surprise you, yeah? He 'elped me align m'bloody chakras and whatnot. Interestin' tutorial 'bout effective use of bodily wind... er... but that ain't related, quite."[/color] [color=b8860b]"Yeah! Total faith in the man."[/color] Okay, so he meditated with the guy a while back, and true to word, Yomdi passed along knowledge of harnessing wind to accomplish tasks that normal men could not. It wasn't his fault that for whatever reason, Keystone's attempts to manipulate that particular element were met with catastrophic, personally injuring failure. It wasn't until he worked with what was described as "The worst slice in the history of Monk-ing." Might as well go with it. Instead of trying to manipulate, he started with the concept of expulsion. And in [i]that[/i] regard, Keystone was magnificently adept. Of course, all this meant was that he was a shoo-in for provincial contests involving the buildup and release of internally produced vapors (both upper and lower), across the board with depth, duration, and raw decibel output, but damnit, it was a start. So naturally, when Yomdi said it was an elemental wind issue and could be treated thusly, Keystone was willing to give the old man the benefit of the doubt.
