In some ways, teaching the wraith in the arena was a lot like teaching them in the kitchen, but in just as many ways it was vastly different. She started them on individual forms rather than the ones that would lead to actual sparring, because they needed to understand the control behind the movements before anything else. There was a method to pushing and pulling with certain muscles, in balancing as their bodies moved. She started the pace slow, but with their years of experience in fighting, the group caught on quickly and so she sped things up a bit, watching them and coaching on what needed improvement.

The lesson didn't last overly long, as more wraith eventually appeared to use the arena, but it still seemed to go well, for the most part. Another one or two were skeptical of continuing past the first lesson, but she'd still gained a few students who looked forward to learning more.

After they finished, Rogue watched some of the others take their turns sparring, offering her compliments to those who performed well. She'd spent enough time in the arena now that she was familiar with most of the wraith and their strengths and weaknesses when sparring, and it was nice to see when one of them improved or managed to conquer a weakness that had been holding them back.
