Lana's shout was unexpected but showed a true spirit of determination. She apparently hadn't expected to speak out, though, but Ilia only smiled. "That's the spirit! Now, you wanna be careful here..."

Ilia reached out and took Lana's extended fist and pried open her fingers, moving her thumb outside and just a bit under her knuckles. "You'll want to keep your thumbs outside your fist. And make sure you throw your arm out straight. You don't need to add extra injuries to yourself if you can help it."

Ilia stepped back a moment, considering. "Pretty good for a beginner. Nice balance.... Oh!" Ilia motioned to the closets. "I noticed we have our uniforms still. I suggest taking your gloves with you. The extra padding will help protect you hands a bit, too."
