Marta turned her attention to Gen. the girl couldn’t be more than four or five, but seemed excited to be a part of what they were doing. Marta smiled and showed enthusiasm for her instruction.

Marta watched, and tried the first form, the moves just a little awkward with unfamiliarity. Sterling helped with this, correcting her form. Marta picked it up quickly.
Windsong - the name given to her by Stinging Nose when she had met Elyse and Sierra. The name had come about because she had started humming and dancing that night. Of course, her name was actually something super complicated like “The Wind Blows Through the Autumn Leaves Whispering Its Song” but that was a mouthful. But the name conveyed her love of song and dance. The kata, Marta realized, was just that - a dance. It was a dance that could hurt someone if applied correctly, but a dance nonetheless.
The third time through the kata, Marta tried it on her own. She kept the movement slow and focused on her form. ”Like this?” she asked. She felt she was doing the move correctly but just wanted to make sure. She was feeling muscles move that she hadn’t really consciously used before, leading her to believe it was harder than it looked.
