Heh - we, hadn't either? Until our first real fight. It... didn't go so well. [It was downright embarrassing actually, and because they couldn't fight effectively as a team, April and her father were kidnapped. At least they managed to rescue her and no one was seriously hurt - although Mr O'Neil remains a prisoner of the Kraang to this day, which isn't so great.] That's when Sensei made me the official leader, and we've done a lot better since then. [With a learning curve of course, but considering the team's accomplishments, Leo has a lot of solid ground upon which to base his pride in his job.]
Well I don't know who Firelord Zuko was, but niten ryū was developed by Miyamoto Musashi at the turn of - [wait, she probably wouldn't mean what "sixteenth century" means, since they're from completely different worlds. Ummm let's see, quick Leo do some math] - well, about four hundred years ago. He's a legend. [Leo's not the encyclopedia of Japanese warfare than his father is, but he knows his stuff, especially when it comes to his favorite technique.]
And yeah, Sensei is - amazing. [A simple, brief statement, but it carries more earnest admiration and pride than a million descriptions. Fighting Splinter is like trying to fight wind or water. Leo had THOUGHT he was finally catching up to Sensei when he managed to land a single punch during training, but shortly thereafter, they learned their father had actually going easy on them all these years. The skill that had so impressed the mutant turtle his entire life was merely the tip of the iceberg, and it was firmly impressed upon Leonardo that he still has a LOT to learn.] A Grand Master of ninjitsu. He's been training us our entire lives.
We're fifteen; what about you? [Korra looks older than April, he thinks, who has a year on them. So, seventeen perhaps?]
