A prosopect he had not considered or at the very least in detail. This exchange offered him a new observation on the brothers he failed to notice; very telling that these two had some experience with dangerous situation even if small. If their fit bodies weren't already telling enough. Still, it was the time nor his intention though made sure to acknowledge the humans capabilities. A good sign that these two might have what it takes to endure and push through it all, but that was the future. "[color=bc8dbf] An interesting answer, yes.[/color]" Pausing while giving a nod of appreciation." [color=bc8dbf]But it is not the lesson I aim to teach. Perhaps when better experienced and comfortable we may touch on honing one's instinct in such a way. No, what I hoped to instill in the both of you was a taste of the dangers of the path before you. What awaits you, what awaits the humans are the evils of these lands foreign to your kind.[/color]" His blank expression softened with a sadness as he gazed upward to the sky as if searching or seeing what was not apparent or visible." [color=bc8dbf]A darkness encroaches upon the realm. Whether it be the dark elves themselves or some other force using them, I cannot say.[/color]" Inhaling deeply, the words hanging in the air, drifting off with the breeze to dissipate. Turning his gaze back to his wards." [color=bc8dbf]Countless struggles and hardships stands ready just outside the confines of this forest. And my role in all of this is to ensure the safety of any human in need... and to train you.[/color]" Menzai stated, his expression serious once more. From there, Menzai began to quietly step around the brothers inspecting them, marking the details of their form and composures. He took a moment then to ponder over the interaction and all that has transpired; taking a moment to think while stroking at his chin wanting to make sure he had the necessary information to continue on. "[color=bc8dbf] I have hope my explanation was clear enough. I wish to have it understood that I am here to be your guardian and teacher...[/color]" Trailing off as he folded his arms across his chest once more."[color=bc8dbf] And not to befriend. So we shall keep this professional and that includes nicknames. Is that clear?[/color]" A stern stare at the two when stating this. Menzai gave the brothers a few minutes to take in and go over he said." [color=bc8dbf]If this is understood then we may begin training.[/color]" Tilting his head with a brief scratch of his chin, thinking to himself momentarily before motioning towards them."[color=bc8dbf] Mr. Dante, Mr. Darius. May you please demonstrate what have managed to learn up to this point? Mind, this is merely a demonstration, nothing more.[/color]" Making sure to drill in that distinction lest the brothers let things get to their head and become competitive.
