Jackie tended to be an easy target in general and he'd thank her for not succumbing to the temptation if he'd known.

After several minutes of silent movement, he finally came to a stop in the very same position he'd started in. Releasing a slow, gentle breath, his eyes opened to find that he'd gained an audience.

"Oh! Good morning! I didn't expect to see anyone else out this early."

"I tend to wake up early out of habit, even if my daughter lives in the dorms and doesn't need me to make certain her morning is off to the right start." Nevermind that she text's Chen every morning with her routine so that she won't forget. "So I find myself with more free time."

"It's a habit for me as well. It must be nice getting to stay here with your daughter," or so he might assume. He has no children of his own, but he does have a niece and he's admittedly looking forward to what he's hoping will be a bit of a reprieve from her brand of mischief.

One could only imagine what a playdate between Chen and Jade would be like...

"How long have you been a practitioner, by the way?" Ran continued the conversation along its original path, not wanting to tangent it into herself.

If he knew the potential, he'd likely never allow Jade in the state. As Ran turned the conversation back to him, Jackie simply smiled politely.

"Almost all my life. I was taught by my uncle when I was a boy."

"I've always loved the Chinese styles. I taught myself some Taichi when I was young, though I think I would have done much better with an actual master." Those, of course, cost money, though. And she was homeless.

"Your forms were nearly perfect. You could easily teach a class on it here at the Institute, if you hadn't already considered it."

"Oh? Perhaps you could join me one morning? I don't think I'd want to teach this as a class, though I'd gladly give lessons for the benefit of anyone interested in learning."

Besides, he'd taken a glimpse at the curriculum and seen several classes focusing on combat already, so he wasn't looking to add to the list.

"Assuming I have another morning like this? I'd be more than happy to." Ran chuckled, taking a bow.

"Ran Yakumo, mathematics."
