Plain Abnormal

Master Shifu listened to Kyle telling him about his plans to stay at Country Tz for a couple of years. He noted the exasperation on Kyle's face and voice each time he mentioned his father, and chose to remain silent until Kyle's rant was over.

Patting Kyle on the shoulder, he said simply, "Just keep in touch."

Kyle blinked and looked at him, "That's it?"

Master Shifu laughed, "What do you want? You've obviously made up your mind.  Though it may appear as if it's something sudden, I am sure that you have thought of everything by now."

Kyle took a deep breath and nodded.

Master Shifu smiled, patted Kyle on the back and said, "Calm your mind first before going in."

Kyle nodded again, and leaned back, looking up at the sky.

Seeing the wide, open air always gave him a sense of peace. It was as if he was a little dot in the wide scheme of things and it helped him focus his mind.
