Something to believe in

Seiko's brow furrowed as they paced the dojo, claws scraping lightly against the tatami mats as they went. Clasped firmly between their jaws was one of the many bamboo staves that lined the walls. The weapon was light, but learning to balance it and use it properly was not as easy as its weight might suggest. They'd briefly practiced utilizing it, with Akito so many seasons ago and a few times after, but they'd been admittedly intimidated by trying again. They certainly weren't ready to go charging into battle with such a weapon. They'd be just as likely to trip over it with their own paws as they were to knock someone out with it- no, the former was far more likely.

Testing its weight and working with it until it felt properly balanced, they started to do a slow route around the room. They made to lash out at a training dummy they'd dragged out each time they passed it, trying to land a solid hit on it without either losing their balance or knocking themselves backwards in the process. Already they felt the force of the weapon tight in their jaws, but they persisted, doing another lap and shoving their weight forward hard as they passed the dummy again, landing a soft hit on its midsection.
