Rhona listened to every word Sirius gave her and absorbed them like a sponge, letting everything else that had just happened slip away as she focused on the lesson at hand. It was actually incredibly calming to just let herself focus on one constructive task rather than letting her mind wander and self destruct on its own. As she listened to his description of what defenses were she felt a bit silly for not being able to piece that together on her own. Her exposure to fighting and anything relating to it had just been so incredibly limited by the men in her life before that she had no real frame of reference for it. She knew that had been a calculated thing for them to make sure that she and none of the other women would be able to defend themselves or fight back... but now those limitations weren't there. She had free reign to learn whatever she wanted and Sirius was giving her the keys to do it.

She nodded as he finished his description and then immediately went into trying out the examples he had given her for herself. Her paws experimentally spaced themselves evenly under her, trying a couple different placements before she finally found one that felt best. Her knees bent slightly and she tried out how it felt to sway back and forth from side to side to test out her balance. She tucked her tail out of the way under her and folded her ears back while her head tucked down over her throat protectively. She physically drew into herself a bit with her shoulders rolling forward and her scruff scrunching and bunching around her neck. She realized with a start that this was more or less the stance she would take when Osmond would come into the den looking for her late at night - naturally and instinctively putting up her defenses without realizing it. She gave a little shake of her head to quickly break that train of thought before it could really settle in on her mind and brought her eyes up to Sirius with a silent question. Was she doing it correctly?
