He didn't know why in the world he was agreeing to this, but Roshi had told the boys yes. Maybe he just felt inclined to help them, like he was the only way they could learn. No, that wasn't right. Watching as the two brothers and their friend filed back outside the old hermit smiled slightly, using his cane to reach back and shut off the television. Well darn it all, he was actually happy to see the kids again. It had been much too long since he'd really had visitors, aside from the usual, so it was nice to get some company. Plus he had been a little shabby as of late with his own training, so this was an excuse to go out and actually do something. Chuckling under his breath Roshi shuffled over into the kitchen, digging through it and grabbing a pitcher of iced tea and a few glasses, carefully juggling them as he headed for the door. Remembering rightly it took Shu a bit to get down any kind of Ki mastery, and that had been two years ago. If they were back for the same thing then he'd likely forgotten most of it, or as he put it was "really bad at everything." Hopefully with a few lessons they could get down basic control and they could be off, to wherever it was they'd be traveling next. 

That had been relatively easy, convincing Roshi. They could have done without the hitting though, why did everyone always have to hit him? Pouting slightly as he nursed his head Takeshi watched Shu move about eagerly, quite clearly excited. "Hah... Of course he is. Master Roshi said he'd train us and he will." Lecherous though he may be the older boy was positive that the hermit was not a liar. If he agreed to do something then he would do it, no doubt about that. Perhaps a little reluctantly, but they would still get their training. Hearing T'charrl the Saiyan looked over to see what he was talking about, blinking at the coconut his friend was holding. Hurrying over Takeshi snatched it out of his friend's hands, chuckling softly as he nodded his head. "Uh, yeah, but not like this! It's awfully hard if you try eating like this, plus the rind tastes pretty nasty, Here, I'll show you how to eat them." Holding the coconut between both hands he brought it down on his knee, easily splitting it in two. Holding it at an angle to show T'charrl he then drank up the liquid inside, sighing happily at the refreshing taste, "You can drink what's inside of them, and then see this white, flaky stuff?" he asked, gesturing to the innards of the fruit, "You eat that. It's really good, try some."

"You kids eating all my coconuts...?" Roshi called, huffing as he walked across the sand in his flip-flops. "Those things take a while to grow, you know. Don't eat them all, otherwise I don't got any to make my Pina Coladas with!" Getting a blank look from the kids the hermit rolled his eyes, setting down his mug and glasses on the small table just beneath one of the coconut trees. "Never mind. As soon as you're done with your pre-training snacks we'll start." He would be instructing them, but no one had said much about him training as well. Now that he was out here the urge to fire off some Kamehamehas had quickly diminished, that folding chair looked awfully inviting, as did the ice tea. Smiling Roshi settled himself into the seat, pouring himself a glass of the tea and sipping at it lazily. "I'll just tell you boys what to do, how's that? I don't want to show you up or anything, eh he he he..."
