The Arts of Warfare aren't just about the fights. It's also about everyone that participates in them, including what they do every day outside of combat. What happens when the Panzerkraft girls are let loose in their everyday lives? Very interesting things. What about if the Jägermeistern guys are included as well? Get ready for a lot of tomfoolery. Part of Projekt Jägermeistern.
All the way by Vladivostok, both the USS George Washington and the Kiev were docked close to the Russian city. The American carrier was docked within the Amurskiy zal, while the Russian carrier was docked in the Ussuriyskiy zal on the opposite side of the city. It was just another instance of two ships having to share the same port.
Within the city proper, the main four leaders of Pravda's Arts of Warfare programs were walking through the streets. All were in their normal school outfits. Katyusha soon saw something that caught her interest.
She had found all of Saunders' Arts of Warfare leaders casually talking to each other in a relaxed manner as they stood on the sidewalk across the street from the Pravda group. All wore their normal Saunders school uniforms, but they added a gray jacket to the mix because of the more chilly weather at the moment. But what caught Katyusha's attention was seeing Naomi blow a bubble with her gum.
"Hey, I wanna do that!" she claimed as she pointed to Naomi still blowing her bubble.
The other Russians there looked to see what Katyusha was talking about.
"Oh, you mean blowing bubbles with gum?" Sasha asked as he raised an eyebrow. He then entered thought for a brief moment before he turned to Nonna. "Hey Nonna, you have some gum?"
"Da," Nonna nodded as she dug through one of her pockets. She soon pulled out two sticks of gum.
"Khorosho, spasibo," Sasha thanked her as he took the sticks. He then turned over to Katyusha. "Hey, Katyusha."
Katyusha turned to face him upon hearing him say her name.
"Wanna learn how to blow a bubble?" Sasha offered as he held a stick of gum out for her.
"Da! Da!" Katyusha eagerly replied affirmative with a similar eager grin as she rushed forth for the stick of gum. She appeared much like a child with her current behavior.
When she took the stick of gum, Katyusha immediately unwrapped it and put the gum into her mouth. She chewed it very quickly to make it sticky and tried to immediately blow a bubble. But her attempt was cut short when her bubble popped immediately after she started blowing it.
"I can't do it…" she irritably noted as she grew a frustrated look at her attempt. The attempt left her gum splattered all over her mouth on her face.
Beside her now and crouched to her level, Sasha had more calmly chewed his gum to make it sticky.
"First, you have to space it out over your tongue," he said to Katyusha as he chewed. He waited a bit while he spread out his own gum over his tongue. "Then you have to push it up against your lips." He then moved his gum to push against his own lips. "Then you blow by gently breathing out." He demonstrated by blowing a bubble with practically no effort.
After demonstrating, Sasha opened his mouth and popped his bubble with his teeth. "There," he remarked to Katyusha with a satisfied look. "That's all there is to it."
Katyusha digested the information Sasha revealed to her as she gathered her gum into her mouth again. "Okay…" she said as she nodded in understanding. She then grew a concentrated look.
Sasha noticed what was to come, and he coached Katyusha through her next attempt. "Space it out over your tongue…" he reminded.
He noticed from her chewing pattern that she had done so, and so he continued. "Then push it up against your lips…"
He saw Katyusha perform what he instructed, and he moved on. "Now blow by gently breathing out…"
Katyusha continued concentrating hard as she gently breathed out through her mouth. She ended up blowing a small bubble from her attempt.
Sasha noticed and clapped a few times in congratulation. "Good, you're doing it!" he praised. "Now just a bit more."
Katyusha continued blowing a larger bubble, but Sasha awkwardly raised an eyebrow as he saw her face start turning blue. He could deduce what was making her face turn blue rather quickly.
"Um, Katyusha? It's alright to breathe in through your nose, you know," he advised.
Katyusha was by now concentrating so hard that she was shaking and had her fists clenched, so she likely didn't even hear his advice.
Sasha then looked over to Nonna and Nudelmann. "I think I may need some help right around now," he said to them.
"Da," both of the taller Russians nodded affirmative, and the three closed with Katyusha to break her out of her concentration.
