After trying and failing to change the doctor's mind, Ethan and Hermes had no other option but to leave the hospital with their thoughts and fears. The car ride home was done in silence as both men were occupied with their thoughts.
Not too long after, they found themselves home a little after 6pm. Hermes wanted to give the day off but Ethan insisted on continuing his training so they went into the dojo to practice. Ethan was shaping up quite well and was now able to perform the moves he had been gifted fluidly as if he had been practicing them for years.
With a little bit of effort from both sides, Ethan was able to polish the little Ninjitsu skills he had been taught as well as incorporate the moves he had learned from the Protectors into the discipline. Ninjitsu was all about quickness, subtlety, and cunning so Ethan made a mental note to add other disciplines like Parkour into his training when he had time.
