Much to Kai's surprise, the taller boy wasn't rude at all. She sure wasn't complaining! Of course, she was still timid in approaching him, since he did look pretty preoccupied with his original target for kicking into oblivion. Even his casual comment of how flimsy her pole looked she took with stride, and even smiled a bit. That was honestly the best thing she'd heard today, but this was also before he tested it out. "I know, but it's a special paper that I made for a project.  It's not as light as it looks. And well.... this will be good practice for me. "

A little bit more excited now, Kai dug into her side pack to  pull out a long senbon needle, which she jammed and dug into the ground. Putting the pole down over the needle as a bare essential base, she twisted the paper pole down a little and tapped it a few times to make sure it would remain upright. With giving him a thumbs up, Kai backed up to give him some room before plopping down on the grass to watch him.

The amount of force and swing he put into the kick caused her to bite her lip with anxious anticipation as she heard a distinct crunch. As promised, the pole was indeed much heavier than it looked, and when his foot connected, Yang would find that it was not hollow. Still, folded over immediately, bending to his foot with a thud. Kai instantly closed her eyes, but then opened them to see that the paper shaft had been bent in half...but not broken.

With a delighted gasp, she sprang to her feet and ran to her bent creation. Her eyes went wide at the discovering that the pulp fibers of the paper were stretched and strained, but still holding strong. She could hear him apologizing, and immediately shook her head, looking over at him. "No no no, that was great! Thank you!" Yanking the bent pole from the grass and pocketing her senbon, Kai turned to face him fully now. "I want to see how much damage it will take before breaking. So would you be up for a spar?" She asked while unbending the pole, holding it now like a fighting staff. She hoped that even if he wasn't rude, that this request didn't bug him.
