The girl was all jitters and a big ball of nervous as she walked into the Orchard, the scent of ripe fruit filling the air. Looking up at all the trees she wrinkled her nose slightly, trying not to step on the over ripe fruit that had fallen to the ground. Why on earth had she picked this spot for training? Cursing herself for not fulling thinking through her nerves, she walked through the rows of trees until she found the same clearing that Valentine had used to call the meeting in. Perfect. There was a lot less icky fruit on the earth and a lot more space to work in. Taking a deep breath, she moved to sit on her rump. Mercy needed a few moments before she called the girl to her, to try and gather her wits about her. Even though she was honoured by the opportunity to have someone to train, she was also scared that she was going to royally screw up. What if she sucked at training and it led to the poor kid getting killed? Shuttering at the thought, she shook herself and raised her head, calling Sirius to her. She wanted to start off slow, with the basics. That was good, right? So many starting off with a list of defenses, seeing how much she knew on her own already. Cause what was the point of learning to attack if you can't even protect yourself properly. Nodding to herself in agreement, her long tail curled around herself as she waited.
