Sixth Plum: I get knocked down, but I get up again
[Looks like someone's back up and out there again, now that the Angel threat is mostly ended.
The feed turns on, probably accidentally, as Hinamori sets a tin cup of water down on a rock next to the PCD. Back out in an open space she found near the clinic, she unsheathes her sword for what's clearly not the first time today, settling into a stance.
In her uniform; though she's missing the one accessory she always, always wears with that uniform... her lieutenant's badge is not on her arm.
A pause, a breath, and she begins to move, going through a simple sword kata. Resets, again. She seems to not only be getting the kata right, and this basic form is looking nearly as easy for her as it should be. Another pause to wipe her brow...]
Good. Now for something a little more complex, I think.
[She sets herself again, and a breath or two later steps into a kata that's a little longer, a little more complicated. She hits most of the beats, and on the final swing, as she stops, she looks pleased, even if she is puffing a little bit as she tests for any undue strain.
About to sheathe Tobiume, her attention is caught by a growling hiss in the grass, and she brings her sword up to meet the hellcat, blade-first by instinct, the forms and reactions drilled into her, even with only decent swordsmanship.
Seconds later, it's over, and the thing that tried to eat her is on the ground, unomving. Hinamori slowly doubles over, a hand on her chest, breathing a fair bit harder than she was a moment ago, when the feed ends.]
[ooc: She's fine, really! Just winded. Replies will be delayed by a few hours OOCly since I'm on a train. Whee. But no delay ICly!]
