Ronon Dex watched Sokka practice with his sword from the side of a building. He was impressed with the teenager's form although there was still a lot left to be improved on. Watching Sokka train on his own like that reminded him of himself back when he was still training under Task Master Kell. The boy had potential.

He made his presence known when he approached Sokka, who looked as though he finished his exercise, and commented. "Good. Your form is good, you have the basics down, but you still have some holes in your technique. Try not to put too much weight on your right foot and it will help to angle your feet out slightly."
