It had been a couple of days since Conri had talked with Kaladar and met up with that strange Ethar fellow, but with everything that had happened he didn't forget about the invitation he had been given by Saito. So, he had traveled all the way to Central City to try and find the man that had been on the Lookout that day, but he wasn't quite sure where he should begin to look either. He tried to stick to the less crowded streets because while he didn't tend to care much about fame, other people did still know who he was and what he'd done. It was kind of nice to get the attention, but days like today he wanted to get somewhere it could be a bit counterproductive to go through areas where he might be recognized.
Coming to a stop on a street that seemed to be occupied with a couple houses and then a dojo, he wondered if that was the one he had been looking for this whole time? Walking up to the large doors he knocked on it loud enough so that if there was anyone inside they could hear, but he was unsure of if anyone was even home so he wasn't entirely sure how long to wait for an answer before he figured it would be good to leave. Rubbing his head slightly he hoped that it was at least a convenient time to stop by and maybe he could get that tour and meal, possibly even a spar if Saito was feeling up to it. Then he would be able to head on his trip without having to worry about anything for a good while, or at least until he got back. Then he would seriously focus on his objective so that he could safeguard the planet and its people.
"I guess the tour and meal are more based on whether someone answers the door though," speaking to no one in particular. His body finally adjusted to his arms as well, so he wanted to test them out a bit in a more high paced setting. That and it was just hard for him to sit still at this point with how excited he was to be able to train with Kaladar and for the man to accept hi as his apprentice for the role of Guardian. Although, he wasn't sure if Saito was going for that position or not, he figured they could always talk about it and see what comes of it. Maybe he could gain another friendly rival to force him to push himself further and further beyond his limits, it could help him with his goal by having him gain more power in order to keep everyone safe.
He felt that the two of them could get along, and that they could probably help each other out in the long run if they worked together, but maybe that was just him being naive. (Blargh crap starting post)

Ethan was around the side of the main building working in a planter with his headset blasting away when the latest guest to their school arrived, so it was no surprise that at first he missed the man's approach and his subsequent knocking on the door. As luck would have it however Ethan soon needed to return to the front of the building to pick up one of the bags of fertilizer he'd left sitting in the grass just off of the main walkway. Finishing up with the bulbs he'd just planted and crushing the empty fertilizer bag into a manageable, fist sized lump, the shirtless boy ambled his way out of the planter and around the side of the building towards it's front. Again at first he completely missed their guest, the man being above him on the entry steps as the boy walked by them. It wasn't until he tossed the empty bag on the ground and hefted the new bag up on his shoulder and turned back that he noticed the man.
"Oh, hello there." the boy said, a little surprised. With his free hand he pulled his headset off, allowing it to hang around his neck and then put his hand up to shield his eyes from the sun so he could get a better look at the man. The first thing the blue haired boy noticed was that the man's hair almost exactly matched his own unique color, a shade or two darker perhaps, but it was a striking blue, just like his. The man was also a bit older, perhaps Kit's age?
"Uh, Good day." the boy finally greeted the man as he walked to the foot of the steps. "Welcome to the Crane School, I'm Ethan, can I help you with anything?"

It seemed that there might not be anyone home at the moment, or at least not that they could hear him? He wasn't sure and was getting prepared to leave the grounds when he turned only to see a younger, blue-haired male come around from the back with headphones on and seem oblivious to his presence until he had hefted a bag of fertilizer onto his shoulder. He had to smirk since it was quite amusing to have watched him walk by and while not noticing that there was someone at the door to the place he lived at, or at least he figured he lived here. Maybe he was just the gardener for the place? As it turned out, he likely did live here considering he asked if her could help Conri, which meant he did at least do something here.
He had to see that it was interesting meeting someone with a similar hair color to him, given that most people seemed to have black or blonde hair, there were probably a few other colors but generally not blue. Also the fact that he was carrying around some heavy bags, he might offer to help out a bit while he waited to see if Saito was around. Well, he at least shouldn't be rude and not answer the younger male since he had asked if there was anything that he could help with.
"Hello, my name is Conri, it's a pleasure to meet you Ethan," he said extending a hand towards him. Hopefully it wouldn't cause him to have to put the bag down, he just figured that it was more polite to offer a handshake, plus he was probably a bit over friendly with people. "I was just stopping by since Saito had told me to stop by for a meal and tour of the place. Do you know if he's around?" he figured he would just see where Saito might be, maybe he could wait around or figure something to do until he did get back. It wasn't like he had to leave immediately to get things started, and he didn't feel right coming here and just leaving again either.
Scratching his chin, maybe it had been rude to mention the meal as he didn't want to put Ethan out to feed him or anything, but well Saiyans were rather easy to make friends with especially if you had food. Voracious appetites were kind of a pain at times.

"What are you doing?"
The young female voice from behind may have startled the man. Sonya was known to move quickly and quietly though being sneaky was not her intent. Carrying several bags that were filled entirely with cinderblocks the girl stepped forward, allowing the bags to fall at her side as she approached the tall half breed. Sonya was as ignorant to alien races as Saito was, and that said a lot to her upbringing. If Conri wanted to remain anonymous there was no better person he could run into than Sonya. Her bags hit the ground with a loud thud and a few small cracks. She had been carrying quite a bit of weight and for what appeared to be no particular reason. She walked directly past Ethan andConri and with the palm of her hand pushed open the door. The height difference between them was remarkable. Sonya ran between Conri's side and arm to get to the door. It opened easily as though it had not even been latched to begin with and Sonya let out a rough giggle.
"Master Kito said that everyone around here knew about his open door policy. I told him that was stupid. Right Ethan?"
She said walking through the opening, leaving her heavy blocks of cinder on the pathway up towards the dojo. Conri and Ethan could remain outside if they wished, but Sonya had opened the door so that they could enter. She walked up the hallway and took a left. Assuming Conri followed her inside she would make her way to the kitchen. Sonya was in an obviously better mood for some reason, as usually the ignorance of strangers would have annoyed her. Something about Conri made her want to let him in, rather than leaving him outside to figure it out for himself. She immediately made her way to the refrigerator which was now full with snack related fruits and cups. Saito's fridge was once a barren wasteland where lunch meat went to die. Now it almost appeared to be housing food for children. In this case however it was teenagers. Sonya was the oldest of the students and she was only 16 years old. Not that Saito couldn't train adults, but his crowd had been pulled from a school meant primarily for those under 18. This wasn't terribly unusual as learning a skill in childhood made it more prominent as an adult. She reached in and pulled out the least healthy item, the vanilla pudding. She pulled out the snack pack and tore two cups apart from each other. Turning and tossing the small cup of gel sugar at the large half saiyan.
"So you are pretty big huh? I bet you aren't here to become a student. No, you would be the biggest man here. So what, sightseeing? I mean an invitation from Kit is hardly an incentive to come over."
Sonya was brash, and that wasn't anything new. She didn't really care if her words came across as rude or prodding. She had met more new people since moving to Central than she had the entire rest of her life, and yet Conri was the biggest of them all. No, it wasn't his size though. If that were the only thing that made this man intriguing...no there was something else. Sonya was feeling something she had not felt before...and she didn't like it. Who was this guy? The other students could be heard up the hallway, grunting as though in the middle of training. Conri didn't have to put up with the teenager. He could likely find his way to any part of the dojo he wished. However he had Sonya's full attention if he wanted it.

Ethan was pleased to see the man was the friendly sort when he returned his greeting and offered his hand. Shaking it though would be a little difficult as Ethan's right arms was occupied with the fertilizer bag. He could shake the man's wrist with his left hand or something dopey like that but ever the show off, Ethan decided to free up his right hand in true exhibitionist style. Lowing his right arm to about a forty-five degree angle pointing downward, the boy let the bag roll off of his shoulder and about half way between his elbow and hand before calling in his not inconsiderable strength to raise his arm back up, launching the bag skyward. While such a move might normally have been affected by the boy effortlessly, the training weights he'd made a habit of wearing almost continuously now rendered the task somewhat more difficult. Still though, the boy managed to effectively juggle the bag from his right arm to his waiting left, catching the bag on his left forearm and rolling it up onto his shoulder.
"Pleased to meet you mister Conri." the shirtless teen replied with a smile as he took the other's hand in his and gave it a good shake. "Sai... Oh, you mean my brother, Kit." Ethan went on, taking a moment to recognize Kit's other name, one he wasn't in the practice of using. "Yeah, he might be around here somewhere if he's not off getting himself cut up..." he added with a tone that only ever so slightly bordered on resentment. There was still a bad taste in Ethan's mouth of what Kit and let happen to him. the blue haired boy didn't even know the details and nor did he want to, Kit had let himself get mauled by a bear or something and then spent weeks hiding away, he deserved the silent treatment for a little while.
"Tell you what, if he's not around I'll show you the place myself." Ethan continued just as they were rather unexpectedly joined, or more appropriately, passed by a young woman, brash in speech and manner and oddly so, thoroughly unlikable by the teen. Normally Ethan would interpret such a kindred personality as a potential friend and maybe a challenge to overcome, but this young woman that Kit had pulled in, probably off the street, Ethan did not see as a challenge, more as an insult. Why was she here? Ethan didn't need any help tending the grounds, hell he practically rebuilt half the school while Kit was away and was still making improvements here and there. Likewise he didn't need help teaching the self defense courses, and if Kit ever put her in a similar teaching position there would be sour words a plenty. For now though she was a minor annoyance that just showed up one day. Ethan wasn't going to go out of his way to be unfriendly, but he didn't have to be friendly either and so just rolled his eyes when she tried to involve him in bashing his brother. 'The nerve, if she weren't a girl I'd smack her for that one.' he grumbled within the confines of his own mind.
"You can go inside if you like." Ethan continued, speaking to Conri. "I need to finish this up, if Kit's not in there, come back out and I'll show you around."

He watched as the younger man did a bit of showing off with switching the bag between his arms and chuckled to himself, as they shook hands. It seemed that there were quite a few interesting people to meet on Earth once more, but what he said when shaking his hand caught him a bit by surprise. "Have I been using the wrong name to address him then? Is that the proper name to call him by? I'd hate to be rude when talking to him," he figured it would be better to ask than wind up offending someone he just met by using a name that they didn't like to be called. He probably should have asked before he left the Lookout the other day, but there hadn't really been a lot he could do when he left so abruptly. Then came the part about what he might be doing and the phrasing of that left Conri with one eyebrow raised as high as it could go and wondering what the meant. Before he could fully ask about it either there was another voice that he heard and looked towards the sound of the thud and cracking to see a young girl standing there before walking by him or...under him? The height difference was quite a bit between the two, but she walked up to the doors to push them open. Huh, well, that was a thing. There was a lot going on at once suddenly, and it was hard for him to keep track of it all, but the girl seemed to expect him to follow and Ethan had mentioned they could meet up as well if Kit didn't turn up.
"Sounds good, I'll take you up on that offer, have a good one Ethan," he said with a slight wave and a grin before heading into the school to catch up with the girl. He felt bad just leaving Ethan because he hated to seem rude, but he had come here for a purpose. Though, he supposed he could always stay a bit longer to talk with Ethan as well. He seemed like an interesting kid, oddly enough he had a bit of a show-offy vibe to him as well. Following the less than tactful girl towards the kitchen, he took a look around while he did admiring the work that had been put into the place. Before he knew it she had tossed a cup of vanilla pudding towards him and began to ask him questions one right after the other, which was interesting in itself. Having caught the pudding he leaned against the wall to think over her comments while answering the first thing that she said.
"I am big I suppose, but I didn't realize it was something too abnormal either," he scratched the side of his cheek, not sure how to take the comment in general, it was kind of ambiguous as to what it meant. Although he had realized that she had also mentioned him becoming a student, which wasn't actually the reason for his visit at all, "No I'm not here to become a student, but is it really an odd thing to come over just because someone invited me? Was I not supposed to?" he asked with sincerity wondering if that was something new that he hadn't heard about, he had always been on the friendly side but didn't think he wasn't doing things quite right either. Was it not appropriate for him to have come to accept the invitation? This was somewhat confusing for him, he never really paid much attention to mannerisms himself so he might have been wrong on this.

Keeping focused on Conri, Ethan tried not to chuckle to himself as the other blue haired young man struggled with Kit’s name and whether he was calling him the right thing or not. In truth, Ethan didn’t care much about the formalities involved in their father’s strange naming schemes, frankly he was just glad his own mother was able to name him. However just because he didn’t care about the strange naming convention didn’t mean Ethan didn’t understand it and he was fairly certain that the ‘Kit’ nickname he’d given his older brother was in fact a bastardization of his last name, not his first. Of course he could be completely bungling that detail as well and Kito was in fact his first name, just place last in the order with his family name first. In either case the simple fact was that the boy had to restrain himself, letting slip just an amused smile as he replied to Conri’s question.
“Ah, well Kit’s just what I call him.” Ethan explained. “Never cared much for all those vowels and syllables. A lot easier to just use a nice short nickname. But uh, you go right on calling him which ever, I’m sure if he wants you to he’ll bring up his nickname himself.” the boy continued with a smile.
With that Conri and Sonya went inside leaving Ethan to the remainder of his gardening. The heavy fertilizer bag still slung over his left shoulder, the shirtless boy returned to his work, carrying the bag over to the planter he’d been working in and dropped it to the ground and resumed his work. Tilling the already rich soil and mixing in the fertilizer would take the better part of a half hour, at least for an normal person, but one thing Ethan’s learned over the past month was that he was anything but normal. The boy found himself having to be gentler and gentler with his gardening equipment to avoid breaking it as his growing physical strength made snapping shovels and hoes alike frustratingly easy. Still, even working cautiously Ethan was able to finish turning the soil in the planter in a little less then half the time he estimated.
Unfortunately this meant that the last of his gardening was done for the day and it was only just past mid day, what was he going to do? He supposed he could fire up the simulator again and see if that nutty moon queen lady was around, but he frankly didn’t relish the thought of dealing with underhanded battle tactics. He could likewise just crank up the gravity option and work out, but that wasn’t as fun when he was alone and unfortunately for him, Conri had been swiped for the time being so he couldn’t even give the guy a tour of the grounds yet let alone ask him if he wanted to join him. Sighing in frustration, Ethan put his gardening wagon away, hauling all of his supplies back to the shed and then headed into the school to clean up. Once inside Ethan reasoned that Kit must be around as there were students about and he himself wasn’t scheduled to teach today. Further reasoning that Sonya had brought Conri to see Kit in the training room, Ethan thought the kitchen might be safe to wash up in. Instead though he was surprised to find them both in the kitchen and immediately he entered into an awkward silence as he crossed the kitchen to the sink and started to his hands and forearms and then all the way up to his shoulders.

There was no denying it. Conri was cute. The manner in which he spoke, his perfectly lush hair, and his washboard abs were all it took and Sonya had her first crush. She listened to him for a moment, finishing her snack pack and tossing it behind her back and into the open trashcan across the countertop. An impressive feat for a child. Keeping her whimsical smile she watched as Ethan entered the room. How she loathed him. Ethan was her Master's brother, and he thought just because he was from the same family that he was the boss. Sonya however did not feel the same way. She had stood toe to toe with Saito before, and by all accounts she believed that to make her the second in command. The blue haired surfer bro was not about to make demands of her. For now however they appeared civil if not awkward towards one another.
"I mean if he asked you to come here i'm sure he wants to talk to you. I don't know when he would though. Master Kito trains almost non stop and when he isn't training here is is off training somewhere else. Its pretty much his whole life. He doesn't entertain much company."
This distance between them. It was too great. Sonya needed to get a little closer to him. Slipping off of the counter and making her way over to Conri she chose to lean up against the wall, intentionally blocking Ethan from sight -though not entirely given her shorter stature-. With one hand on the wall and the other placed on her him the sassy young fighter felt the warmth from Conri's body eroding outward. She felt like all men of his power let out a similar heat. It could have been his aura, or just his physical presence, but she could feel it. Flipping her hair to the left with a giggle -which Ethan would catch immediately as a sign that she was acting out of character- she spoke once more.
"I've finished all of my jobs for the day though. So I guess we could get to know each other."
She remarked with a sly grin, hoping the warrior would ignore Ethan all together and opt to engage in conversation with her. This feeling she had...it was new. Conri brought out the best in her...or perhaps the worst.

Eating his own pudding it was one of the few things he enjoyed the most, others were generally more about protein and the like, but there was nothing wrong with having sweets either. Too many people worrying about too many things, it wasn't eating that would cut short someone's life it was all the worrying that they did over little things. Thoughts still swam through his head about maybe having come at an inconvenient time, but then Saito had not mentioned a specific time either, so he was unsure of what he should have done. His attention was taking away from his own inner workings of the mind as Ethan returned and there was a quiet tension between Ethan and Sonya, was he missing something going on between them? He supposed that he should stay out of it since it was between them and he was just an outsider to the whole ordeal. Sonya began to speak to him once more explaining Saito's habits, and it seemed that he was training almost all the time, which was not entirely a good thing either, though he supposed he could see the reason for it.
"Hm, is that so? Is he generally busy then? I'd hate to interrupt something if he's busy, but at the same time he invited me himself so I'm a bit confused as to what I should do here," he has assumed that he was invited for a reason though, at least that was what it seemed like at the time.
Then Sonya came much closer, leaning up against a wall and the placement of her hands caused a quirked eyebrow, it wasn't until she flipped her hair and giggled that things clicked a bit more. Well, this was going to be a bit interesting to deal with, mostly because she seemed a lot younger than he was and it was not a situation he found comfortable. The worst part was that he didn't know her actual age, so saying anything directly could wind up insulting her more than anything else, but he wasn't exactly sure of what else he could do. When she mentioned getting to know each other he thought of an idea to help the situation better, and possibly avoid any misunderstandings of what was going on, even if it might hurt. It could potentially be better that way as well.
"Sure, I wouldn't mind getting to know either of you better, I don't have that many friends as it is and the number seems to keep decreasing rapidly," he rubbed the back of his head. He would feel bad if it hurt her, but he couldn't take advantage of someone that was younger than him, he wasn't that type of guy. Sighing mentally, he wondered to himself if he should just close himself off to the possibility of another relationship in general, given how his history had gone so far. One had been killed because of him and the other was becoming darker over time, although he would do everything in his power to save the second one if need be.
"Also, maybe a two versus one spar wouldn't be bad to make things interesting, and I can see how strong some of the members of this place are. Plus it can kill time to see if Saito shows up or not, then at the very least I got to hang out with two new friends," he grinned. He was probably sounding dumb, but he figured it was a good opportunity all the same. He could reduce his power so that it wouldn't be too tough on them, and at the same time would provide him with a good challenge.

As he was washing up, Ethan noted Sonya slipping off the counter and for a moment thought it was just to give him more room, but that moment was short lived as the dialogue that followed nauseated the boy. It was bad enough she was ingratiating herself to his brother at every opportunity but this was just plain absurd, she was acting like a frigging cat in heat, verbally jumping all over Conri like he was a piece of meat. What, was she actually trying to move in on his position? Was this some sort of facile competition after all? Ethan had hoped she was just an obnoxious girl getting a free ride but now that she was trying to snipe the blue hair's man's tour out of Ethan's hands, he could only conclude that this kind of behavior was on purpose, which in turn confirmed the first question, she was trying to boot him out of the picture. Well Ethan wasn't going to have any of it, he couldn't whoop her arse because she was a girl, otherwise she'd already be sporting a shiner, but he could at least play her game right back.
Finishing up with the sink, the blue haired boy turned back as Conri, evidently as disturbed by Sonya's advances as Ethan was disgusted, attempted to shift the topic to not only include him, but suggested they engage in a sparring match. 'Excellent.' the boy thought to himself, this would spoil her attempt and he'd take the high road by accepting and also maintain control of the situation, his authority unchallenged. Breaking the silence and wearing a friendly smile, all of it directed toward Conri of course, Ethan replied in an almost sickeningly sweat tone, overdoing it perhaps at first, but mellowing as he spoke.
"An excellent idea." he started. "I was going to take you around the grounds first and end the tour with the training room, where we'd likely find my brother, but going there first works just as well. We can have our match if he's not in, then I'd be happy to show you around the rest of the school and serve some lunch while we wait for him. Kit says I'm a pretty good cook so it's likely you'd have been eating one of my meals whether he was here or not." Ethan concluded and held a hand out to indicate the kitchen's exit.

Sure! He said sure!
Her heart pounded, completely unaware of Conri's negative reaction to her suddent attraction. He was right to be wary as Sonya was only sixteen years old. A crush was a crush and Sonya was more than pleased with how this was turning out, that is until he continued. Conri suggested that he get to know the two of them a little better...the two of them...Ethan. Ugh. She loathed that boy. As far as first crushes go, Ethan would have been a more appropriate choice. He was not entirely unattractive to her, and he was kind enough. Something about him irked her the wrong way and now he was standing in between her and Conri. He would regret such a decision...Or not, it appeared Conri wanted a spar with...both of them? This just kept getting worse. Sparring was a great way to get to know someone, but sparring alongside Ethan? Sonya knew that she would never be able to stomach the idea. It would literally take an alien invader the likes of which they had never seen to even make her possibly approach the idea, but as Ethan motioned for the door, and the two began to leave, Sonya was quick to follow, keeping her grievances to herself.
The Kitchen was not a long walk from the training room. This was intentional as Saito enjoyed having access to both sustenance and all in one place. The moment the team would leave the kitchen they would be able to hear Saito's voice addressing the students that were ending their training in the other room. Wiping the pudding from her lips and making her way to the front of the two gentlemen, Sonya commented. "Looks like he isn't done, guess that plan doesn't work huh Ethan". She said as kindly as she could muster. The words they heard from inside the training room said otherwise.
"Hit the showers boys. Don't take too long I need one too."
As if right on cue a group of sweaty teens and preteens made their way through the doorway, chattering among themselves. Some talking about the training, others commenting about arbitrary teenage problems. By the time five had gotten out the door the train had stopped, and all the students stared in awe at Conri Lane, the large man in the hallway. The man was half the width of the hallway already so noticing him had to happen, but his size was what really caught them off guard. Again there was emphasis on his larger features and Sonya let out a rather large sigh as a couple of the boys made an audible Woah. Once all twelve boys were in the hall, and standing perfectly still and silent staring at the champion, Saito made his way through the doorway.
"Whats the hold up guys...Conri Lane! On second thought, take your time kids, I won't be needing the showers for a while"
The man was soaked from head to toe, his blond hair looking more brown and his grey pants looking almost black. As he did with most trainings Saito was shirtless, and the sweat that had taken over him was practically wetting the floor. A disgusting site, but one that Conri was undoubtedly familiar with from his own trainings. The training had consisted of a gravity element and in the last few minutes Saito had done a demonstration in forty times the Earths normal gravity. A welcoming smile plastered on his face he moved forward, the herd of teenagers moving around Conri, Sonya, and Ethan -Many of them taking a moment to say high to their two senior students-
"I'm sure Ethan and Sonya have treated you well. Have you been offered a drink?"
It was obvious by their presence that Conri was being brought to the training room, which was only fitting for their meeting. Conri was likely a similar man to Saito in that talking was best done under more stressful conditions. Who needs a cup of tea when you could have the adrenaline of combat. He stepped back putting himself on the other side of the door, and much like Ethan had in the Kitchen, outstreched his hand towards the training room.
"I see by the pudding stains on Sonya's lips that you've already seen the kitchen. I will let these two continue your tour."
Saito would follow them inside if they chose to enter.

He was used to having some people fawn over him for his title and even some women flirt with him, but generally it was easier to deal with when he had a better idea of how old they were. While it might not seem like it to most that met him, he did have a sense of self respect; he wouldn't be caught dead with anyone that was underage it wasn't right. So while she remained a mystery with age, he would have to try his best to avoid the more obvious advances from her and would only hope that he didn't hurt her feelings. Being a nice guy tended to have him worrying about things like that quite a bit, but he figured that if he crossed a line perhaps Ethan might help out or get pissed at him. The plan to visit Saito had taken a turn for the strange with meeting both Ethan and Sonya, not that it was entirely a bad thing, these two would be good friends for him. Well he could only hope things went that well at least, so far things were awkward to say the least.
Ethan had agreed to the sparring session that Conri had suggested and he breathed a soft sigh of relief, only to have Sonya mention that the training area was currently occupied. "Is that so? Well, that's a shame," he started only to hear the sound of someone telling kids to take a shower followed by a large number of students exiting the room. Well, that was really well timed and he could just chuckle at the way it all happened, though his attention was then brought to the students that were currently staring in awe at him. "Yo, how's it goin' kids?" he figured he'd greet them a bit, just to be friendly. They all seemed to be surprised about something with him, but he wasn't quite sure what it was really. Then the man he had originally come here to meet was exiting the room as well, and upon seeing him said that they could take their time since he wouldn't be using it right away.
"Hey Saito, figured I'd take you up on the offer from before, hope you don't mind," he figured he would explain and see how it stood. It seemed that he might have been a bit weird in his thinking according to Sonya, but it was the way he did things. Still, better to make sure that it was all cool before continuing things from this point and from what he could tell it should be fine. Although he seemed to be fine and asked if he had been offered a drink, which he hadn't but he did have pudding so it was close enough, right?
"No drink, but I did have pudding so it's just as good. They both have been very nice to me as well."
He was actually a bit impressed with how well he had been greeted when he arrived, some places didn't exactly seem to enjoy giving visitors a lot of respect so he was pleasantly surprised with how Ethan and Sonya handled things. Then he mentioned them continuing the tour since it was obvious they had bee to the kitchen already and Conri chuckled at that comment, but decided he would tell the man their plan. He had invited Conri after all, it was only fair that he offer to spar everyone, though he supposed going against them all at once might be a little much and a bit harder to gauge his own power off.
"We were actually about to spar a bit, if you want you can join us we'll just have to figure out how it'll work. That or I supposed you could watch over if you didn't want to spar, you seem a bit worn out as it is."
He didn't want to put him on the spot for a spar if he was tired from training the kids for however long they had been using the room, but given the words of his ancestor and his own genes he was looking forward to sparring the man when the time came. Everyone seemed to be motioning him towards the room as well, so he figured he would go in and see what kind of room it was before they actually got started.

Sonya really liked to run her mouth before thinking and that was why Ethan didn’t miss a beat after her attempted barb, he had an alternative, seven of them in fact. “Pfft, that’s not a problem, we can always warm up outside in one of the training gardens, got seven of the things after all.” the boy returned with a grin. He was about to direct Conri back towards the main entrance when the stream of kids started to pour out of the training room at his brother’s behest. After a few moments they were surrounded by some of his brother’s students. He differentiated between his own students and his brothers as Ethan maintained himself as master of only the hand to hand classes. If a student wanted to move on to the more advanced lessons and physically risky training in altered environments, then they were handed off to Kit, allowing the blue haired boy to maintain a fairly constant class size and schedule as well as his other duties.
Conri and Kit seemed to be hitting it off, however because of the confusion as to whether Kit was up for more physical activity after having just taught a class, Ethan didn’t know if they were be using the chamber with or without his brother. It really was up to them though, he’d delivered the other blue haired man to his brother as promised and despite the lusty machinations of his brother’s pet. At the same time he didn’t want to just abandon the guy, he seemed fun to be around and as a bonus, his continued presence would help to keep the poor guy our of the lecherous clutches of the girl standing opposite him. Ethan though remained silent at least as far as planning went, he wasn’t going to make up Kit’s mind for him, instead he exchanged a few words with some of the boys gathered and waited to see what would happen.

Conri had a very honest manner of speaking. Some men would have just nodded and moved on in conversation. The blue haired warrior spoke honestly, even bringing up the pudding he had eaten only minutes ago. While his dialogue was unique, it was easy to understand. The warrior almost sounded like a child. Not in a manner lacking in intelligence, but rather in his candid and open speech. It was endearing to speak with someone honest for a change. He made no attempt to mince words or play with the Crane's mind. All too often conversation became mindless attempts to one up the other, and Saito certainly had his fill of it. Conri was genuine.
"Tired? No, as I tell my students. Sweat is lethargy leaving the body. I'm ready to play whenever you are."
For a moment his own excitement got in the way. It was difficult not to be enthusiastic. His school was finally bustling with students, and Ethan was even taking responsibility for some of the simpler defense classes. It occurred to Saito that the brothers hadn't had an opportunity to speak with one another. Or rather they had actively been avoiding each other. Ethan still wasn't entirely certain what had happened to Saito, and with everything finally coming to peace it seemed like a pointless topic of discussion. One day when Ethan was more physically prepared to accept the responsibilities of the dangers they faced, he would involve him. For now, ignorance was a safety net that Kit would force on his younger brother. The best way to heal a hurting relationship between fighters however was a good old fashion spar. Conri Lane seemed capable enough to handle a fight between the two of them, and Sonya could join if she wished it. He motioned inside the training room.
"Lets not waste any time then. All aboard whose coming aboard"
This was Ethan's opportunity to turn down the spar, or accept it and join them. He had after all been the one to greet Conri and it was only fair that he get to participate. Perhaps the three would be able to stand up to the galactic champion, though Saito still wasn't certain exactly what that was. As the three entered the room, Saito would recommend that Ethan set the gravity chamber to whatever made him the most comfortable. Saito was able to train in up to 40 times the Earths gravity, and by the look of Conri he could likely do even more than that. So Ethan would be the determining factor. Otherwise Saito would have Sonya set it to 20, as that was her maximum capability.
"I'm glad you came by Conri. I won't lie to you, hearing that you are a champion set a fire in my chest. I have always dreamed of one day holding that title myself. Do you recall your first match in that tournament?"
Saito was too interested not to pry. He would be asking Conri about his time in the Galactic tournament for the entirety of their spar unless asked not to, and Conri didn't appear the type to turn him down. Moving to the center of the well lit wooden training room he would make sure to start a fair distance from Conri. The two would begin when he was ready, and if Ethan was in the room they would wait for him as well.
(If Ethan joins I will have Sonya watch. If Ethan leaves she will join the fight)

If there was on word that could describe Conri it would definitely be child-like, it could be both good and bad for describing him, but it was the man nonetheless. However, he would not change either, he was the way he was and there had been plenty of people that liked him for that as well. He was honest, straight forward, and friendly; he didn't care about any kind of games because he just felt that he was too old for things like that. Mind games were dumb as far as he was concerned he knew what he wanted from life and he would work to achieve it no matter what, and that went for just about everything for him. Still, at Saito's words he frowned somewhat, he understood the meaning, but there was more to sweat than just that as well.
"Well, if you do want to have a spar with me, then I will also request that you get some water at the very least. Staying hydrated is just as important as any other part of training," he wouldn't risk anyone's health for a spar and he knew for a fact that training too much had a detriment to ones body. It was why he tried to rest as much as possible between his own trainings, though that would likely become rarer later on as well. A soft sigh as he realized that he'd likely be killing himself once he returned from his trip because he knew the responsibilities that would be laid upon him. Ah well, with Bran helping his other plans along things wouldn't be too bad hopefully, he would just need to figure out a few things as time went by, plus maybe he could talk to some other people about his thoughts later. For the time being, he would focus on the situation at hand as he entered the training chamber, and looked around admiring the way others personalized their training. He was a bit more rustic with things so preferred to train where he could see nature when he wasn't using the gravity or simulator.
Walking to one side of the training room he turned to face the others, though scanning the three, it would be hard to find a good power level for him to possible fight against all three. Even with two of them, depending on who it was, would be rather difficult with him needing to find a power level that would allow him to take on two opponents without overpowering them. That would be kind of tricky, scratching his cheek slightly he wasn't sure how to proceed, but he would figure it out when his opponent/s were decided. Until then he would wait patiently for them to decide who would do what and what all was going to happen, he was more than happy to oblige with a spar for anyone that wanted one. Hell, if they wanted he could try a gauntlet style, but that would probably take a bit of time as well, he supposed it would be their choice.
"Hm? Is being a champion that big of a deal? I was never one for paying attention to stuff like that myself," he rubbed the back of his head. Title and the like meant very little to him, but he knew others had different views on it, but he didn't see himself as anyone different from everyone else. Still, he did remember his matches because he felt there was a purpose to him remembering them, he had fought not only for himself but for them as well. Still, there had been a lot of matches, so his first one would have to be narrowed quite a bit as if he started from the very first one it would be a bit more convoluted to explain.
"Well, do you mean like first of the whole tournament? If you want me to tell about all my opponents that will take a long time," he scratched behind his ear. Moving to the wall behind him, he leaned against it waiting for his opponents and for the question to be cleared up a bit before he would do anything. Really, there had been a lot of fights for him during the tournament, he was glad to have taken part of it. (not as good as I wanted, but tried to hurry to stop holding up the thread)
