He didn't know exactly where his head was going, but watching her take that hammer and successfully drop it on the platform and bell making a loud [I]ding[/i], he stood there with widened eyes and a very Kyle-like dropped jaw expression. [color=aquamarine][I]Wasn't it just a minute ago she didn't know how to swing it? Am I really that good of a teacher? Soy and the others would just love to hear about this![/i][/color] But okay, so she really took your pointers to heart and applied them. He helped her be better at his favorite game. He showed her how to properly swing the hammer and get the most effective result. Kyle did that for her and he couldn't have been more proud of someone even if he was staring into a mirror and he saw himself. Okay, that was kind of a creepy tangent. Kyle wasn't vain enough to see himself as hot in the mirror and he sure as hell didn't think Ali looked manly...although she swung that hammer like most men he knew. [color=aquamarine][I]Focus Kyle![/i][/color] Yeah, focus Kyle. Focus on the fact that she is smiling back at you. Focus on the fact that you're able to have fun with Ali without any worry of faking how you truly feel. Focus on the fact that she's looking at you to give some kind of response. [color=aquamarine]"Y-yeah.."[/color] Kyle said, feeling choked up for some reason. [color=aquamarine]"Just like that!"[/color] He smiled, looking between her and the hammer. [color=aquamarine]"I can't believe my advice actually worked, though. I mean, I knew it would but, you know sometimes I don't usually help things, so I'm just really surprised that it actually worked."[/color] He knew he was rambling and he let out a nervous chuckle. [color=aquamarine]"I mean, you gave that platform a hell of a swing. You're a lot stronger than you look, y'know?"[/color] [/indent][/indent][/color]
