Riku had had enough of clothes with holes burned through them from hugging trees. He decided it was time to train this innocent creature to control her urges - and maybe even put them to good use.
There was a plant tournament coming up, and with her sheer size and strength there was a great chance she could dominate it. Of course, if anyone entered one of the larger Nyssa she likely wouldn't win. Still, there were clever ways around such obstacles - especially when her hugs were so contagious.
He guided her to an area of the park - away from his youthful garden - to train for the day. He knew she seemed to infect any plant she touched, so he made sure to choose an area where the grass was already damaged - possibly due to someone else training a fiery creature.
She squealed as she found the spot on the grass, seeming to like it. "Like me..!" she thought to Riku, with a deep booming voice even in spirit. Like a child with the size and voice of a giant.

He laughed and gestured out to the grass. "Yeah, like you." he said warmly. "Except you are better!" he complimented, spacing out his words in thought and making sure to pronounce them clearly. He wasn't entirely sure how telepathy translated his intended tones, so he didn't know if it made a difference.
She opened her jaws to reveal a giant toothy smile as she tilted her head back and chuckled. It was adorable how...not adorable she was. So oblivious to it, too. Riku got an idea, seeing her sharp wooden teeth, and looked around the area. There were groups of larger rocks the size of his fist that could be useful for this training. He had three main things in mind. First, since she was slow, he needed to teach her to sense incoming attacks in order to dodge them. Next, he wanted to put that jaw strength to use. And last, he would teach her how to hug the life out of their enemies.

This could prove a bit challenging, since he couldn't touch her without being harmed. Also, his Nyssa used photosynthesis and regrowth to constantly replenish herself...so she didn't really eat anything. (Which made him wonder why she even had a mouth...? At least it was great for biting and laughing.) Because of this, the usual rewards of treats and physical affection were off the table. Fortunately he was using a ribbon of telepathy with her, so kind words would have to do the trick.
Riku walked over and collected a bunch of the rocks into a pile while Niella followed him nearby. She passively stood and smiled. Sometimes she was so still you'd think she was a statue, and he wondered if it was a way to save energy since she had to constantly replace so much, or if it was just a Nyssa thing in general.

"What you doing...?" she laughed mildly as she asked. She walked over to the front of him, near where the pile was.
"I'm collected these rocks and putting them in a pile for us to use." he kindly replied.
"Oh, I help!" she screamed in joy. However, she continued to stand next to pile. When Riku tossed the next stone in the pile, it rolled down the side and stepped next to it. Niella 'quickly' swooped in and grabbed the rock, placing it gently on top of the pile. There was a slight sizzle that could the heard as she touched it, and she giggled at her successful contribution.
When they had collected an amount that Riku felt comfortable with, he decided to move on. Okay...how would he teach this gal to sense incoming danger? The only thing he could think of was to throw rocks at her unexpectedly.

However, the idea of that made him feel guilty. What if she took offense - or worse, got angry!? He had never seen Niella angry...he sort of didn't know if she was capable of such an emotion. She seemed way too positive. However, in a way, this was for her own good - even if he was initially training for his own benefit of the upcoming tournament. This was mutually beneficial, and hopefully she'd be oblivious to how awkward it was.
"Niella," he gestured to her, causing her to immediately respond by lifting her head. She had looked like she was counting the rocks, but....he didn't think she count really count. If anything, she may have continuously lost count after three. "Come over here, and we are going to try something." she walked over to where he was pointing, about six feet from the pile.
