He'd nod. If it was how she wanted to do it, he wouldn't argue further. Besides, it was true that with practice it took less energy. And this was practice. So maybe she had a point. And with that agreement in mind he decided that he'd use his Ki as well. Though, he didn't need to fly. Yet.
"For quick shots it's just about a sudden burst. You don't want to try to much build up or you will tire yourself out pretty quickly."
He'd demonstrate by holding up a hand and firing a ball of energy at her! If it landed unheeded it'd feel like a pretty powerful knee, but nothing that was gonna rip through her or do serious damage.

There he went again starting off straight to the point and absolutely sudden. Rhona's "skating" acted fast and she tossed herself to the side for a dodge. It was not like she was going to catch it or have time to counter it. Her Ki Blasts were not that good. But she still felt his blast's warmth radiate from the close call. Rhona was really fast with her "skates" but her reaction time always needed improvement. If she could not predict her opponent or was not already prepared for any case it certainly caused for a delayed reaction.
She'd see it fly off beyond her. "Goodness! You work fast." She forms her hands in their place and begin to feel the build up swirl between them. "It takes me some time to charge. I've gotten better but it still takes heavy concentration. Like a blender that you forgot to turn to low and your cake batter spews everywhere... but it hurts. Not so sure I can get one fast enough to send out a quick burst...I only ever did that once without thinking. But just the idea of using one hand instead of two sounds like a really bad one." She smiled while her ball of light came up to an electrifying golfball sized orb humming where it was being held. Sweat dripped off her chin mostly from the whole morning work out but this certainly cause more to accumulate.
She'd shoot it out quickly not really bothering with aiming she just knew if she did not send it off it was going to spike out of control. That actually was what really stung, it was not pleasant or welcomed. She noticed this one did almost spiral and made a bit unpredictable pathway, they sometimes did this, she noticed when she shot them off uneven. Making her actually hope this flub was not actually going to hit Limax.

Her explanation kind of lost him halfway through as she started talking about things called blenders and cakes. He assumed they were human things. Though from what he could tell of her explanation was that cakes were painful. Something that he'd file away in case a Human ever came at him with a cake.
He watched her form as she started to channel her own Ki. It seemed like the spar was forgotten and instead it was turning into a different type of training. But that was all well and good. He welcomed new ways to learn. He listened to her tell him that she thought that using one hand was a bad idea. And while he disagreed with that, there were benefits to using two hands. Both forms had their place though in his mind.
When it fired it came out quicker than he'd thought! And it was only through luck and quick reflexes that he was able to avoid most of it. Though the ball burnt his shoulder pretty severely where it had grazed him.
New to this or not she was clearly packing a lot of power! Which was even more fascinating! She was so modest, unlike most of the warriors he knew. It was even worth the burn to see it in action!
"You can, you said you already did it once. Not every attack needs to be charged like that one. Sometimes you will want to use less energy, or you won't have time to power one up. Much like how in a fist fight you may want to use jabs instead of using everything you have for every punch."
He hoped that made sense to her.

She exhaled and scratched the side of her hand feeling bad about it actually hitting him. Still he did not seem to mind too much, they were training yes, still it seemed Limax had a slight difference in his training that she just concluded.
"You are making some good sense. I'll need more practice." Her stomach tightened and felt uncomfortably hollow. "Hm.. fun fact, I think I once overheard you guys don't need food... but after all this my body is running on fumes. Maybe we can do this again sometime?" She'd give a sheepish smile. She did use a lot of energy and will need to replenish her body with something warm to eat and cold to hydrate.

He offered her a bow.
"I would be honored to train with you again. You are a skilled and honorable warrior."
And he had found out that he still had a long way to go to compare to many of these alien warriors. But that was okay, because he was moving forward. He had his whole life to dedicate to this chosen path, and someday he would stand among them as peers.
