Once again, it was Nurse Lydia who took over the daily announcements just after the jingle came on. She didn't seem to waste any time and launched right in

Quietly, Momo finished her meal, idly doodling on a napkin in the process, before getting changed into her uniform. Celes was still asleep, so the shinigami checked her spirit threads just to make sure the woman was alright. Once satisfied, she took Laevatein out of her closet and unwrapped the damaged broadsword.
It was heavy, but solid, in her hands. Holding the sword down at her side, Momo closed her eyes and envisioned Signum. Momo was unsure how to wield this style of sword, but she'd seen the knight in combat - both besides and against. Conjuring up the knight's fighting form, the shingami raise Laevatein and took on the same ready stance she'd seen Signum use time and time again.
"Okay, Laevatein. Let's see if we can learn to work together," Momo said in a quiet voice to the sword. "No laughing at me," she added on with a small smile. "Okay, maybe a little."

"Also, if you're going to be using that position, spread your legs a little wider, and put more weight on your left leg." The general lazed on her bed for a moment. In her dream, there had been dancing, and Noah, and a petulant Luxord.
A good dream, but one unlikely to ever come true. Especially not with Luxord, not any more.

"Oh, Chere! I thought you were asleep. My apologies for waking you. I thought we could keep it down. And thank you," she replied, adjusting her stance according to the general's advise. "I am not familiar with the style needed to wield Laevatein properly, so I was trying to go off of my memories." Which wasn't the best way to learn a new style, but it was all Momo had available at the time.

Celes fingercombed her hair, working out the knots, and eyed her roommate. "That's a much better position. You'll be using your left leg to push off of, and it will give you more mobility for your right side."
Reply
The stance did feel much better and having mobility for her right side was important given her eyes, She hated having such a handicap, but there wasn't anything she could do about it. She would learn and adapt. The shinigami simply held the stance, getting a feel for it.

"You appear to be in better spirits, Lady Hinamori. I trust today went well?" Her hair felt oddly clean, now that she thought about it. Had they bathed her without her knowledge?
Well, that was a new level of disturbing she'd not considered.

"I have a path I want to pursue and hopefully a group I can trust to join me on it," she continued. "I will see if we are all compatible as allies tonight." A pause. "Hitsugaya had left you a note earlier today wishing to speak with you. I suggest talking to him tomorrow."
Reply
"Lift your elbow slightly," she added as she pulled on her corslet, watching Momo intently. "You'll get better balance for the next strike."
Reply
"It is rather different to use Laevatein than it is Tobiume and or of the katanas I've used here," Momo replied. "Would you be willing to help me learn the style so I can at least not embarrass Laevatein when the sword is repaired?"
