Of course there parts she had missed, and by his chuckle, which made her roll her eyes, she had to look ridiculous. Great. At least she was trying - that was the most important part. Unlike others, it took her a while to form correct habits. As long as he gave her encouraging feedback - and nothing that would make her want to give up and lash out - she'd eventually get it. Eventually.
Pricking her ears, she listened as he went on to explain defences that weren't visual. How was she to get those if she couldn't see them? A frown made its way onto her features and remained there for a few more moments until he mentioned being sturdy and robust. Ah! That was what she was lacking - energy! She was simply just doing it with no thought whatsoever. Resetting her defences, she did as she was instructed by her "mentor" as he listed the defences one-by-one. She evenly distributed her weight - or at least tried to and slightly crouched as her head tucked, lips pulled back, ears pinned, eyes narrowed, shoulders tucked inward, scruff rolled, hackles raised, toes spread, tail aligned with spine and core muscles tightened. Most importantly, she felt energy surge through her body, and she had to seriously constrain herself from bouncing about. "Yeah," she remarked half to herself, inspecting her legs to ensure they were bent. "This feels much better."
