"Grumpy today, are we?" Hilda remarked with a curious glance.
"I'm always grumpy," Liron grumbled as he sourly set to work on his next set of excercises.
"You're especially grumpy today though," Hilda replied. "Feeling jealous are we?"
Liron ignored her and focused instead on his breathing as he practiced his form through thoughtful, deliberate stances and fluid movement between them. Kata, he believed Hilda had called it, not that he really got it. Allegedly, it would help him get stronger, and that was all he cared about.
"You are too tense," Hilda stated critically. "Your movement is stiff and unnatural, how is that supposed to help your flow of energy?"
"Maybe if you'd get off my back, I wouldn't be so tense!" Liron snapped through gritted teeth.
