On the Mountaintop [Open]

Since he'd offered to train people, and using the Three Mountain Dojo's image still hit much too close to home to ever be comfortable, Morgan had resummoned his already-holographic mountaintop dojo. The quiet wide-open building sat calmly atop a high mountain peak, the air crisp and thin as it whistled gently through. A stream from a natural spring flowed gently down the cliffside it sat on, forming a pool not far below, around which ran a path flanked by a series of tall, slender poles.

Morgan himself sat with his back against one of the dojo's support columns, idly plucking out some chords on his electric guitar. The complete lack of electricity up here didn't seem to stop his practice one bit.

Hit Girl nodded. So in away, it was a lot like the kips she had to practice with Chase: it was repetition and repetition until you got it right, and once that happened she wouldn't even need to really think about it anymore.

"What happens after that?"

So to speak?! That was a breakthrough for her! Training was not supposed to including sitting and strengthening the mind unless she was some kind of karate warrior! Of course, that was precisely the type of teaching she was striving for now anyway, so she guessed she couldn't really object to that.

"Flow and harmonious movement," Hit girl repeated. "Got it. Well, I don't got it, but that's what training is for, right?"

Man, now she had to think of an answer to a question like that. It sounded simple enough: one would think harmony meant moving in flow, not against it right? But then she had her own history of the ways she fought, where she knew her movements lacked harmony in a flowing sense, but still got the job done.

"Yeah, I'll think about that," she finally answered. Then again, there was her speed: was THAT moving in harmony?

Hit Girl shrugged all that thinking away for the moment, Once gain, Morgan was demonstrating another form for her to use. Once again, she stumbled on the first try, still trying to get her footing when it came to this kind of stuff.

Her balance, however, was improving, which was a good thing even though she couldn't see it right now.
