Alex: Um.... kinda..... yeah......

Pockets Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:52 pm

Alexis: And you thought you'd never have a championship belt for your wall....

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:57 pm

Alex smirks. As the Mestre approaches and shakes Alex's hand.

Mestre: parabéns mestre.

Alex: Obrigado Mestre.

Mestre: quem é esta senhora encantadora?

Alex looks to Alexis.

Alex: He says.... who is the lovely lady?

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:02 am

Finally able to legitimately use one of the few Portuguese phrases she knows, Alexis grins.

Alexis: Olá meu nome é Alexis...

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:09 am

The Mestre smiles and shakes Alexis' hand.

Mestre: Você é um homem de muita sorte.

Alex: Acabamos de nos casar, estamos em nossa lua de mel

Mestre:Então eu também deve dar um presente para o Alexis bonito.

The Mestre walks off and Alex looks curiously to Alexis.

Alex: Hmmmn.... I told him we were on our honeymoon and he said he must also give a gift to the beautiful Alexis.

The Mestre returns and hands Alexis a strange looking instrument that resembles a bow.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:15 am

A proper martial artist, Alexis takes it two handed, and bows.

Alexis: Thank you... gracias...?

Alexis glances at Alex.

Alexis: How do you ask politely what it is in Portuguese? Or do you know what this is?

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:20 am

Alex smiles.

Alex: Thank You is Obrigado.....

....this is the Berimbau..... it sets the tempo of the game.... a Mestre's Berimbau is very dear to him. It's a rare honour to be given one.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:23 am

Alexis bows to the Mestre again.

Alexis: Obrigado....

She looks at Alex.

Alexis: Can you tell him this is an incredible honor?

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:28 am

Alex: Alexis diz que isso é uma honra incrível.

The Mestre bows to Alexis

Mestre: Você tem um nome Alexis?

Alex: He wants to know if you have a name sweetie

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:34 am

Alexis: Besides Alexis? Did I say that wrong?

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:37 am

Alex: Oh I should explain..... in Capoeira.... your Mestre gives you a nickname..... so he's actually asking if you've earned your name yet.....

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:41 am

Alexis looks nervous.

Alexis: You know I'm a Sifu, not a Mestre... I never got a nickname....

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:43 am

Alex smiles.

Alex: Would you like one?

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:46 am

Alexis: If I'm allowed... since I've never studied Capoeira....

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:53 am

Alex: It's fine. I'm a Mestre now remember?

He thinks.

..... your name is Anjo da água.... it means Angel of Water

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:57 am

Alexis: Angel of Water... I like how that sounds.

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:01 am

Alex looks to the Mestre.

Alex: Seu nome é anjo da água

Mestre: Um ajuste perfeito. Eu adoraria vê-lo jogar juntos em algum momento

Alex laughs.

Alex: He says he'd like to see us play together sometime.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:04 am

Alexis can barely stop herself from bursting out laughing.

Alexis: I'm not sure if he wants to see the kind of "playing" we do....

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:13 am

Alex: Talvez uma outra vez, Alexis ainda é um novato.

he looks to Alexis.

....I told him perhaps another time.... you're still a beginner.

Mestre: Bem com um professor como ele você será um mestre em nenhum momento. Eu vejo o quão feliz você ambos são .... você não precisa me desejar-lhe sorte .... mas ainda quero pura felicidade para você.

Alex: He says - Well with a teacher like him you will be a master in no time. I see how happy you both are.... you do not need me to wish you luck.... but still I wish pure happiness for you.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:00 am

Alexis once again bows to the Mestre.

Alexis: Obrigado, Mestre.

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 9:35 am

The Mestre says his goodbyes and he and the rest of Capoeristas scatter. Alex smiles and wraps his arms around Alexis again.

Alex: Well that was... unexpected....

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:30 pm

Alexis looks at her gift.

Alexis: Very.

She smiles, looking back at Alex.

Alexis: Now, you will have to teach me Capoeira.

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:37 pm

Alex: I have a feeling you'll pick it up in no time......

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:42 pm

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: And it seems you're teaching me Portuguese after all....

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:44 pm

Alex: Well I couldn't just let you flounder could I?

He smiles.
