"I don't think karate is only for the strong," Ally said, "It's for those who need to defend themselves against others, weak or strong."  When they met eyes she caught him holding back the tears and tried to stay as emotionless as possible as to not make him cry.  When people showed her sympathy when she was holding back tears it usually made the tears fall out.  Then a tear slipped down Kiro's cheek.  "You are strong mentally, that took a lot of guts."  Then he told her about her own bravery and her emotionless stage faultered as she blushed bashfully.  "I'm only brave because I've been fighting almost all my life.  If I didn't know how to fight I don't know if I would've stopped."  The thought of not stopping sickened her, but she knew most people would've done it, possibly including herself.  "If you really want to know how to fight, I go to this amazing dojo.  You'll really be tested physically and emotionally, but if it means you can deal with those jerks then it's worth it."  She purposely lacked to mention the joining fees but figured if there was an issue it could be solved later.  "I'm on my way to the dojo now.  You can come with me and you can join if you want."
