Parmida grinned. Lots more playmates! She nodded at the first question. They should have been in class, but she had a reason ready. "Teacher didn't notice us, and Niki's elbow was owwied... So we came here on our own." She looked happy at the statement that someone was bringing them back down. Now they had someone to explain to the teacher that he should pay more attention for when they got owwies!

The woman looked down at Parmida as she gently herded them towards the hallway and back towards the stairs. "Well, I suppose I'll have to tell Teacher to watch better, huh?" The small children amused her greatly and the woman missed working with the toddlers and children in their dorm, but she had been given a new task of tending to the infants shortly before this group moved into the dorms.
The woman looked at the chair as she led them into the stairwell. It was now occupied by a young man and she glared at him briefly before leading the two girls down the stairs and back to their classroom.

Parmida dutifully followed the teacher. She glanced at the man now in the chair on her way downstairs. She shuffled her way into the classroom, wondering what would happen next.

The Teacher pushed Tali again, this time he rolled like he did with Nikiana. It wasn't that hard when you remembered it. The Teacher nodded approvingly beore glancing around the room. Idly he noticed Niki hurt herself and the two girls leaving before checking on Selma and Vincent.
Tali hung back watching Vinnie. Much as he hated to admit it, the other boy was getting this quickly as well. A distinct frown crossed his face, as he glanced away. Blinking 001 noticed that Nikiana and Parmida were missing. Just then Parmida inched into the room.
The Teacher nodded at the girl as she entered back in, waiting for the second one to come in.

((gah! sorry! I've been busy! And I'm leaving for a week tomorrow, forgive me if I don't respond again until the 26th, though I will try and get online while I'm gone.))
Selma nodded to Vincent, agreeing with his direction that she push first. Sighing, as this wasn't really her idea of fun, she gave him a solid shove, hoping she didn't push him too hard. She looked down at him making sure he was ok, while waiting for him to get up and push her.
As she was waiting, she noticed Parmida wander in the door. When had she left?

Niki wandered on in behind Parmida, the bandage still on her arm. The woman smiled at the teacher and nodded a greeting to him and moved to the wall, in case any others got hurt.
Niki waved to Tali as she saw him look over her way and grinned at the boy. Her injury was nearly forgotten. Until she got to show off the bandage later on, of course.

Vinny landed neatly on his shoulder and rolled like the teacher had showed them then popped back onto his feet with a bouce. He grinned at Selma then planted his hands on her shoulders giving her a firm shove. She didn't seem to be having fun with this.

Parmida shuffled in place nervously, nodding back at the teacher as she did so. Niki now had an owwied elbow, so she couldn't be pushed, yet the lesson was still in session. She looked over and saw Selma looking in her direction and gave her a shaky smile. She wiped her sweaty palms against her clothes and waited.

Tali slipped around the teacher and the other practicing pair, practically running up to Parmida and Nikiana.
"What happpened?" the boy blurted out, his wide green eyes going directly to the bandage on Nikiana's elbow. "Can you still play?"

Parmida fessed up before Nikiana could say anything, her eyes focused on the ground. "It was my fault. I pushed her and she fell down and hit her funny bone and couldn't stop laughing and so we went to find a nurse and she fixed Niki's arm and brought us back here." It was all mumbled at a very fast speed, making it seem like a blur. She scuffed a toe against the floor while she waited for Tali to retaliate.

Niki smiled at Tali as the boy approached. She blinked as Parmida explained everything in one big long sentance and really quickly. "Uh, dunno... It only hurt a bit." She shrugged.

Taliesin blinked as Parmida blurted everything out but the Teacher interrupted them before he could say anything.
"Allright everyone! LINE UP! We're going to learn two simple attacks. One is a simple punch, and the other is a kick." The Teacher stood at the front of the class, turning his body slightly diagonally. He bent his knees, leaning most of his weight on the balls of his feet and brought his hands up in a ready position.
"Make a fist with your thumb on the outside. To punch extend it and return it. Keep your arm tense and relaxed, and make sure to keep your balance. Like so." He punched the air demonstrating.
"Kicking is like this," he demonstrated quickly. "Kick your front leg out, and back, leaving it in the front! Don't twist around! Got it? Good. Now....003. Show me."

Vinny was surprised when his name was called out. He'd been watching the man's movements very intently and balled his fist like he was shown. His faced screwed in concentration he threw this fist forward with all the strength the could muster, this threw him forward and he staggered a few steps. Without looking up at the teacher he tried the kick. He stood like the man had and kicked. He didn't think he twisted.

Her injury now completely forgotten, Niki rushed to get in line with the others, balling her fist up and looking at it experimentally. That didn't look too hard. Neither did the kick, really...

Parmida got in line before focused on what the teacher did. Why would they need to learn this? She sighed to herself before balling her hand into a fist - with the thumb on the outside - and thrusting it outward for a brief moment. Quickly bringing her fist back, she shifted her weight to one leg and - attempting to not turn - lashed out with the other, nearly landing on her tush in the process. Not twisting around was hard. She aborted the kick mid way to keep herself from falling, and carefully extended then retracted her leg - making sure she had the motion right - before doing it faster. Dratted inability to twist... She did the punch again - it was simpler to do - before going back to work on the kick.
