((More than fine. I've had my own issues to deal with.))

Titus had had his own rough time dealing with training a few of his younger cousins how to even play with the flame in a fire pit. They were young and still in elementary school. The idea of playing with fire excited them and it took everything that Titus had to keep them from burning down the training grounds. No wonder his Grandmother had turned them over to him. They were all pyromaniacs from the get-go and Titus was probably the only one that could reign them in. His grandmother had to whip the same tendencies to burn everything in sight out of him as well.

Needless to say, he was glad that he had a free moment. It had been a while since he could clear his head. He grabbed his phone, his wallet, and his keys and headed out the door. It was time to get on the road.

On impulse, he messaged Kali before he turned the engine over.

"You free? If so, where are you?"

It was a shot in the dark. Most of the time, she was busy with one of her aunts. She had intimated as much with him about her whacked out training regimen and what she suspected her aunt had suspected... if that made any kind of sense to him, which it had. He knew that there was a chance the aunt knew. Titus himself had snuck off to her house to see if he could catch a glimpse of her without being seen. He had managed, but there had been a few moments where he had been nearly spotted. It was interesting to get a peek into the inner sanctum of the water mages, but at the same time it was a bit worrying.

He had no doubt that they were tough to go against, but he also knew that if he could spy with that kind of ease, if one was truly serious about it, one could divest more secrets than how the poses were formed and what holes were in each form. And that was a fairly serious secret to find out. Knowing how an enemy moved was a near sure-fire way of beating said opponent.
