Float On: Training
By: M14Mouse
Summary: Snippets of conversation between Master Swoop and Theo at different times during the series.
Disclaimer: Don't own them.
"You know that you are not defining the stereotype by living in a cave, Master Swoop," Theo said.
Master Swoop chuckled softly.
"It is cool in the summer and kept heat in the winter. I can't ask for a better home," He said.
"I didn't say that it wasn't smart. I just said it was defining the stereotype."
"Like you?"
Theo mumbled something to himself. Theo was a remarkable and smart student. He was an eager to learn and learned quickly. He knew the value of quiet which most students have trouble learning. On the hand, he was remarkable stubborn, sarcastic and willful. He is a driven perfectionist that probably driven RJ, Dominic, Casey and Lily nuts.
But underneath it all, he had a big heart.
Theo cares deeply and completely. Once you have earned his trust, you have it. Break it and it left consequences.
"Be glad that Lil isn't here. She might decide to decorate your home. She did the same to our room but we stopped her at the pillows."
"Oh?"
"She did the same thing at school. Lucky, I didn't bring enough stuff for her to decorate my room. But Master Phant? He definitely has stuff. She decided decorated Master Phant's work shed with yellow and green paint. It wouldn't be so bad…if it was so bright. The elephants were a nice touch."
He chuckled.
"He needs more color in his life," He said.
He heard Theo chuckling.
"Are you going to tell him that?" Theo asked.
"Probably. How did the trip with Casey and Master Finn go?"
He knew how the trip went. His fellow Master told him all about it as he was cleaning his boat.
"The abridged version was that Casey did fine on the fishing and training. Not so much on the rocking of the boat part. Casey swore never to step foot on a boat again. RJ recommended a recipe to help with seasickness and became to explain it how it was made. I left the room after that."
RJ did take an interesting approach to some things. It made life very interesting. Dangerous but interesting.
"And Dominic and RJ's camping trip?"
"The forest is still there and no one reported any fires. So, it was good."
"And Fran?"
"She is well. Dominic, Fran, and I are trying to get through this old book she found. It's dry but the language of the time made it interesting," Theo said.
It was interesting to see Theo's love of languages come through. From what he gathered from RJ and Dominic, Theo already mastered most of the Latin. From what he heard so far, he could believe it.
"Perhaps after you are through with the book, you can tell me about it."
"After we finish to Kill A Mockingbird, right?" Theo said.
He smiled slightly.
He wasn't always blind. As his animal spirit grew, his vision became dim. Once his training was complete, so was the lost of his vision. While he was graceful, he still missed the ability to read. He had grown fond of audio books and Theo's love of reading.
"I thought that you read that in middle school."
"I can enjoy more now that I'm older."
"Very well…Let's beginning. Get into your stance and your fans up high," He said as he turned away.
He heard Theo scramble behind him. The familiar silence fell between them.

A/N: I always wanted to write a series about these two. Now, I have…yay! ^_^
