Katara of the Southern Water Tribe (k_waterbender) wrote in mirage_rpg,

Katara’s eyes lit up when Xena told her the chakram was similar to a boomerang. “Yes. My brother is incredibly skilled with boomerangs.” She disclosed pleasantly. It was quite amusing to see how much he loved that weapon. He still had the same boomerang he had when their father left. It was quite sentimental. No matter how many times he’d lost it in battle or otherwise, it always showed up again.

The waterbender smiled after she’d finished going through the motions of what she’d learned. Xena approved. She hadn’t failed her teacher up to this point, and she definitely didn’t intend to that at all. When she was told to do them again, she didn’t hesitate. Because Katara had just gone through them once, she completed it more quickly and smoothly than before, though it was obvious more work would improve her a great deal.

When the warrior woman announced they would work on real action with the movements, Katara was pleased. She enjoyed hand to hand combat when it was all in good fun. She remembered the praise Master Pakku had given her when she defeated every student of his in sparring matches, even those who had been training with him far longer than her. His praise was rare, and it was nice that she’d proven herself worthwhile. Fierce determination aided her well.

Xena was quick and to the point with her training. Almost as soon as she’d announced they were moving on to action, the woman began to assail the waterbender with blows from the staff. Katara was ready, though. After last time, when the woman took her feet out from under her, she’d been alert and ready for random attacks. She maintained a firm grasp on the staff as the vibrations from her blocks shuddered through the wood. A few times she had close calls, and she was almost hit by her opponent’s weapon, and once her hand actually was hit by the other’s staff, but over all, she felt she did a relatively good job.
