"Reigi." Beginners began with basic etiquette- postures and footwork. Mori stood from his kneeling position, shinai in hand. He held it up in front of him. "Dominant hand on top. Hold just below the hand-guard. Other hand towards the bottom. Space them like this," He gripped the sword like he had so many times before, and faintly he felt the remorse that should she continue these lessons, her delicate hands would come to blister and callous.

Kuri stood next to Takashi, mimicking his every move- unsure of what was and wasn't a postition. She held her shinai in front of her, right hand on top. "Like this Sempai? Or am I doing this wrong?" she asked, gripping the shinai handle tightly. It was swaying slightly, but she centred it and kept it still. She looked up at him, eyes hopefull that she was doing okay.

"Ou." He assured her gruffly. "Keep your right foot back." He remained a statue, locked into stance, but he kept his eyes trained on Kuri, discerning her. "Step forward with your right when you thrust down. Start here," Mori held the sword at level with his stomach, shoulders slightly hunched. Then, bending his elbows as he went and straightening his back, he lifted the sword just over his head. After a moment's pause, he brought the sword down swiftly, sending a gush of air to the floor and whirling around their legs. "Like that."

Kurisuchin moved her right foot back, held her sword at her waist area, then stepped forward and thrusted her sword down. She was concentrating so hard that she was biting her lip. "Was that correct?" she asked, her sword still pointed to the ground.
