Perhaps Takeshi had gotten a little... Overzealous calling Roshi esteemed. He'd given the hermit the benefit of the doubt they'd actually find him doing something fruitful, not drooling over some lady on the television. Cringing slightly when the old man toppled over he sighed, rubbing at his own head exasperatedly. Of course they were alive, wasn't that evident enough by their standing right in front of him? Unless they looked like ghosts, he wasn't sure, it had been a while since he bothered checking himself in a mirror. Looking back at Shu and T'charrl as they entered he waited almost for the hermit to freak out, expecting it at seeing the Kaesstrian. The old guy was pretty good about it, or he was just hiding it, either way there was no spastic response to seeing their friend. Hearing Roshi agree to train them once more Takeshi smiled, nodding his head gratefully. It wasn't that he didn't want to teach his brother and friend, but it made more sense to have someone who knew better do it. Roshi had trained tons of people, like Goku for instance, so who better to go to than him?

Roshi was pretty baffled by the sudden intrusion, he hadn't expected visitors, let alone these three. Shu and Takeshi he remembered sure, but it had been nearly two years since he had seen them. Now they had some alien with them as well, a really big one at that. Blinking at T'charrl from behind his glasses the hermit nodded his head, "You ain't kidding Shu... He's pretty big..." he mumbled. "But if he's smart and willing to learn then I don't care, I'd be happy to teach him. Though... Not right this instant." 

"What...? Why not! You weren't exactly busy," Takeshi complained, scrutinizing Roshi. "We're only back for a week after all, we don't have time to wait around." 

Roshi looked up at Takeshi sternly, a slight glare on his shades from the sun. Grabbing his walking stick he lifted it and smacked the boy on the head, sniffing indignantly. "Well I was busy, thank you very much. I was getting in my daily exercises before you boys came barging in! You didn't even give me a notice before hand, otherwise I'd have been ready." He shouldn't be so grumpy though, he was happy to see they were well and fine. Sighing softly the old man gave his beard a stroke, looking up at T'charrl curiously for a moment. This was definitely a new one, not even Goku had ever brought around someone like this. He was awfully curious about him, T'charrl according to Shu, he could sense Ki from the alien. Strange, another race that shared their same energy.

"If you're in a hurry then fine, I'll train you. But I don't know how much I can give you boys, I'd think you're well beyond anything I can offer." Humility was certainly one of Roshi's strong suits, he wasn't above admitting when he was outdone. These boys had been beyond him even in their first meeting, they just needed a little push in the right direction. Whatever they were here for now he couldn't fathom.

Takeshi smiled gratefully, nodding his head in appreciation to Roshi. "Thanks, Master Roshi. And we just need a little Ki training for these two, that's all," he explained, pointing to Shu and T'charrl. "Flight and using Ki attacks, shouldn't be too hard right?"

"Eh...? Ki training? Didn't we do that...?" Roshi mumbled, cocking his head to the side. Yes, he was certain he'd taught these two, along with that girl Yumi. Giving Takeshi a funny look he sighed, shrugging his shoulders. Ah well, they must have forgotten, silly kids. "Alright, alright. You three get outside, I'll be there in a minute to start the lessons. I hope you're ready to train!"
