The Gym; Tuesday Afternoon.

After giving Ami a handwavey call to meet her in the gym this afternoon for a session if she was available, Setsuna stretched a little bit and then took up a practise blade, going through a few of the forms she planned to teach her as a warm-up. After what happened last time they did this, this would definitely be...interesting, to say the least...


[[ Setsuna's here to meet [livejournal.com profile] slr_mercury, but open for all your gymly needs! ]]

Ami got the call from Setsuna and listened to the message. Maybe the other girl did want to do this after all?

Not one to disappoint, Ami went down to the gym after lunch at the appointed time.

//"That is alright, i understand. I think i am ready?"// Ami really had no idea. She had stretched in her room, to not have to bore her teacher with that and had lightly jogged to the gym itself, so in theory she was ready.

Ami shook her head, following Setsuna. //"Not at all... Though in the movies they hold them up and check for balance?"//

//"Alright..."// Ami had in fact noticed that Setsuna's sword was hugenot dirty, but had not commented.

//"Is that why your sword has a name, because you have connected with it?"//

//"Literally? Or metaphorically?"// Ami picked up a practice sword and held it. //"So... um, will i just know?"// It sort of felt funny in her grasp.

//"Not this one then."// Ami put the sword carefully away. It was a practice sword but still. Swords were like books, best treated with respect.

She picked up another one and then another. This one was off. //"I think this one is bad in some way?"// she handed Setsuna one of the badly balanced ones. //"Not sure what is wrong with it though."//

Ami stared at her in bafflement. But she took the two swords and felt them both in her hands. //"Oh. I think i see."// She tried to remember that the way in which the two swords felt differently was an issue of balance. The information would come in handy later.

Ami nodded, sizing up the sword again. //"I think perhaps applying mathematics would be over thinking it. It is like applying physics to billiards, you over think and do not make a shot."//
She picked up another sword, took a practice swing with it and put it back. Same with another and another. The next one she took a practice swing with and then did so again. And a again. //"This one."// She had no idea why, but she did know it.

Ami nodded, and followed Setsuna. She was very nervous about doing this wrong. Or possibly about doing this right, she wasn't sure. //if i stick to just copying what she does, maybe i won't mess up...//

Ami carefully did what she was shown. In the slow and steady exercises, Ami appeared to be a true novice, unsure of what she was doing and unpracticed.

Ami nodded. She felt all awkward and unsure as to what she was doing. which she did not like one bit. but at least it made sense. //"Every day often?"//

[identity profile] slr-mercury.livejournal.com 2007-04-03 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
//"I... yes. But... how?"// Ami had no idea how to spar.

//"Oh, so you are going to attack me again?"// That made more sense.
