Fangul watched in admiration as Human Ko moved around the small room, his body contorting and twisting into odd shapes. He would extend himself fully, one leg all the way behind him with his lower appendage pointing away from his body... what had Human Ko called that? His fort? With the top half, he would extend his arms away from his torso in opposing directions.
"What is it you are doing, Human Ko?" Fangul asked as he put two of his four feet into the human's quarters. "Are you attempting to hurt yourself?" He'd heard of other humans with a wish for pain, for death. Berserkers is what Human Ko had called them. Ko made a quiet sound deep in his throat, kind of like a cough spasm but from the turning of his lips, Fangul assumed it was a chuckle.
"It is a martial art practice called Tai Chi," Human Ko responded bringing all his appendages together and standing erect before beginning another movement.
"A martial art? Isn't that for fighting?" Fangul could recall learning about Martial Arts from the Internet when he was stationed in the earth region known as Korea. Wasn't there someone named Lee Bruce in their history?
"Martial Arts are not always offensive," Human Ko responded as his body dipped and his hands pushed at invisible force. "I have used my skills in defense more than to attack." He suddenly expelled all the air in his lungs and jumped backwards, startling Fangul into taking a few paces away.
"Why do you do these things?" Fangul asked in disgust.
"To train my body," Human Ko deadpanned, thrusting his chest forward and turning towards Fangul. "We are a species of destruction, bred for chaos. This brings peace."
"You speak of Peace but train to fight?" Human Ko paused and showed his teeth while wiggling his forehead hair vigorously.
"Ah, Grasshopper," Human Ko adopted a new speech pattern. "It is better to be a warrior in a field than a farmer in a war."
Fangul studied him for a moment then threw four of his six arms skyward in exasperation. "You and your Idiotisms!"
