Again again again

The darkness of night made the training grounds have a different sort of air to them. There was something about being out this late at night that made everything feel that much more quiet and just a bit spooky. The way the shadows stretched out from the mannequins that dotted the sandy training area and how dark the area around the barracks was made her regret coming out here so late. The only reason she had even considered it was because she felt like she might be able to come out here and put in some time training without worrying about having anyone watch her try and fail. She had the general premise down now, but she just needed to get used to the motions of it all... At least that's what Tamsyn had told her. Repetition and practice - that's what she needed. She situated herself in front of one of the mannequins and for a little while she just practiced quickly falling into that defensive stance Sirius had taught her before eventually moving on to trying to launch a few of her own attacks at her stationary target. That was the part she was having the most trouble with. Nothing about it felt natural or easy or like she was doing anything right, but she was trying. She tried again and again, landing bites and swipes at the fake wolf's neck and legs until the feeling of her teeth catching onto something began to feel a little less strange. She had hardly been allowed to hunt, much less fight, so actively attacking anything felt so unusual and not entirely pleasant. Repetition, that's all she needed. Again, again, again. It was a silent mantra she continued to tell herself as she practiced and studied on her own in the light of the moon. |
