Work Text:

Before he picked up the chakrams, Kh’aelia preferred the use of his fists in battle. The rush of getting up close and personal with his opponent, to take them down with swift punches, with well placed kicks - the rush of energy through his chakras . He missed it sometimes. All the fighting and battling he had done while studying the way of the Monk did help with his new fighting style, the one he picked up between liberating Ala Mhigo and being pulled to the First. Without all the years of training, he likely wouldn’t be as light on his feet as he is now. He’s grateful for that experience.

But he also misses it. Misses that rush. He keeps up with the meditation for it though, keeping his chakras open. It’s been a while since he’s really gotten the chance to use them the same way. 

He thinks, maybe, once everything is settled with Scions on their return to the Source, that he’ll seek out Widargelt. The elder Monk is definitely likely to agree to a spar, and it would be nice to get back into the groove of it, at least for a little while. It’s unlikely that Kh’aelia would ever put down the chakrams permanently, he enjoys this new way of battle as much as he enjoyed the Way of the Fist, but he would never rule out going back.

Come hang out at Tumblr or Twitter.
