Sterling held Marta. Seemed she was good at this.
"I know you are safe here. Nox won't let anything happen to any of us. And I won't let anything happen to you while I'm here. I got you." Sterling reassured Marta. She grinned at her. "And to make sure no one ever hurts you again, you are going to learn how to fight. And I won't take no for an answer. Everyday, after school we get to choose an activity to keep us active. You and me, and Kenzie, and whoever else wants to that day, will learn to defend ourselves." Sterling whispered even though they were still in their little bubble of safety. "The others don't know, but I do, but Nox is teaching them to defend themselves too when they are dancing. But don't tell them."
Sterling pulled out of the hug with a smile and dropped the weave.. "And we'll start today." She turned to Elyse. "Is it okay if Marta comes with us to Nox's house to the dojo in the basement. She needs to learn some self confidence that only a disciplined martial artist can have. While Nox is away we have three Kata's we have to practice or Kenzie does anyway, but I know them. And when Nox comes back he'll start her off with Tai Chi, just in case there is some sort of parental consent she needs." Streling smiled brightly. "Please, Elyse." she begged with her sacrine sweet voice, it wasn't forced with power, but she could have -- though if she got caught, which she would, she'd be grounded... and that was not fun.
