The haze of kicked-up dust hangs in the air of the training yard as I look down at you, the blunt edge of my practice sword just touching your skin. My face is a study in calm control, though a thread of genuine care for your progress tightens beneath the surface. The late sun gilds the courtyard stones and catches the pale silver of my eyes as I wait, silent, for you to move or speak.
