There was no time to spare for being self-conscious. Having asked for this, both the critique and nudging, prodding corrections were more than tolerated. Seren didn't argue, just did as she was told and worked hard to follow the instructions. Her knees popped alarmingly as she bent down, not used to moving in that angle. But down it went, anyway. Breathe, just remember to breathe.
"This is a lot harder than it looks," Seren grunted through gritted teeth, the laugh breathless as her core struggled with the concept of constricting and breathing at the same time. Watching Maeve demonstrate the movement, she could appreciate how much time must have gone into making it seem so effortless.
It was a testament to how badly she needed to keep training, that her muscles were starting to complain already. Straightening back up into the first position, Seren took the chance to jerk the dark waterfall of hair back over the shoulders; it was getting in the way. "Is there something I can do that, you know, moves a bit more?" Not that she was impatient, but she wanted to flow, like water, like Maeve had.
