Tai spoke, "Is a peaceful day isn't Master Shifu?"
Shifu walked behind him and and standing outside and spoke, "Sure it is. You are getting good with your senses. You will even surpass me at a young age."
"Thanks for comment. Master." Tai spoke as he bowed to his master.
Shifu bowed back with a smile.
Shifu spoke, "Since it is your day off. Go out to the village and relax. Maybe you may find something you can enjoy."
Tai spoke with smile, "Sure master."
Before Tai could leave the duo heard a cute voice behind them, "Can I goo."
It was Tigress looking at at Tai and Shifu.
