Tethys was intensely focused on the task at hand, doing her best to settle into a defensive position. Surely she had room for improvement, she wasn't naive enough to not expect that, but she still felt a slight surge of disappointment at the corrections she was given. It wasn't enough to discourage her, so she followed Sirius's instructions, bending her legs a little bit and spreading them out.

The reasoning behind it all made sense. Centering her balance, making it so she couldn't easily be toppled over in a fight. She followed him even further, flattening her ears on her head, narrowing her eyes and letting her tail stick out behind her, also aiding in her balance. Doing all of them simultaneously didn't feel natural in the slightest, even if some parts on their own did. She supposed practicing them would make the motions come easier to her. "Does doing all these things feel natural to you now? Or do you still have to think about them every time you fight?"
