stretch yourself thin - intended for Leigh but people can interupt sometime before or after the less

[wiredspade]

When Meghana returned to Kerala during last winter, she met a gurukkal. The gurukkal wanted to know "who the fuck taught you kalarippayat"? Okay, that wasn't exactly the words he used, but he quickly realized the broken nature of the young woman who used an unorthodox style of kalarippayat. Meghana vaguely explained that her family was on Diaspora

Leigh hasn't really learned how to fight, as such. Certainly Säde's tried to teach her, and she's done her best to learn at least some self-defence because that's useful, at least, but so far actual attacks are not really something she's willing to pick up.

Stretching, however, is good. Is supposed to help. And the cold is getting to her joints a little, but at least the training rooms have had the heat restored. So she's sitting crosslegged on the floor, chin on her hands, waiting for Meghana to arrive. She gives the Spade a small wave when she enters. "H'llo. Was it hard, getting here?"

She'll leave out the detail that most of the stretches she's showing is due to get one use to holding a sword and shield or a spear and shield. But it can be left out unless Leigh asks, and Meghana will explain origins. She gives the young girl a smile before putting her things down. She did stop off at a place to change into long white yoga pants and sweat shirt. A modification to her usual 'uniform' when training. Much too cold for her racer-back halter with a red band. "Somewhat, but others have been trekking across the Deck since ... I think late Wednesday. Most of the major paths are cleared out. Did you handle the power loss all right?"

"Uh huh. Mostly I went around sharing coats and things, like we did last year. Only it wasn't so early last year. And I've never used candles to go round at night before. It makes the castle," she waves a hand vaguely, "spookier and stuff, but that's okay."

She's dressed appropriately, in similar clothing except for sweat pants instead of yoga pants.

"Yeah, even the storybook Castles kinda suck when it comes to looking like normal hallways with this mess." Meghana couldn't help but agree. "I probably should have asked earlier, but did Sade give the okay for this?" More than likely, no one tossing her off back int the snow.
