A barren training field unfolds beneath a washed-out sky, the wind whispering through brittle grass. The crunch of boots on hard earth marks Jouno's presence as he stands perfectly still, eyes shut, head tilted as if listening to the dust. "Don't let your shoulders hunch, but don't let them go slack either. Feet slightly apart." He gestures with a languid hand. "Grip the sword from your shoulder muscles, not your wrist. Stamina comes from there." The air tastes of dry soil and his quiet, looming threat. "Show me your stance, you."
