Jasmine's smile was positively sunny as she unsheathed her blade, caressing along its length with her bright eyes before letting the sword hang casually at her side as she regarded Thracyn. "I have been well," she replied with a quick wink before finally settling down into the seriousness of the pending lesson.
"Before we do anything else, I would like to see your ready stance... just to make sure it is sound. Your stance is like the foundation for a building. Without a good foundation, you will surely fall... and die... and we do not want that happening, hmm?"
Stepping back, Jasmine would watch Thracyn closely while he did as he was instructed, being careful to note his foot placement, balance, and arm placement as well. Nodding as she inspected him, the woman then flashed the other a bright smile. "Very good. No offense meant of course... I just wanted to make sure you hadn't picked up any bad habits since our last lesson." Her statement was flavored with another wink, marking it for the jest it was in case there had been any doubt in Thracyn's mind. "And now..." Jasmine continued, raising her own blade before her. "I want you to come at me as though I was a foe."
