Inwardly, she felt bad for Kisa. The shorter girl was usually the one that had to group with her for kata, the one who had to deal with her. No doubt she would rather be with the other students, but it couldn't be helped it seemed. Though she heard everything Kisa was saying, the German's mind was elsewhere... back in that place. Back in the other world. The flickering image of Garmr would not leave her mind. Everyone else's manifestations came in clear and strong, but Garmr... he flickered and wavered, as if he would disappear at any moment. What had she done wrong? She had done everything that the others had done, yet still...
Chloe quickly returned from her thoughts when Kisa asked her question. Last session, right... that was the day they had been drafted. Her brows furrowed slightly in a tired manner as she tried to remember.
"Yes, Senpai."
Truthfully she did remember; her muscles more than her mind did even. Chloe took up the balanced shizen hontai stance, watching Kisa and her movements carefully. Nage-no-kata was a series of maneuvers meant to illustrate the concept of unbalancing and throwing an opponent. It was often used for demonstration purposes, so often times it was more like a routine than anything, done in a specific order. Even then, the German tried to keep her guard up as she and Kisa locked together in a standard right handed sleeve-lapel grip. Once Kisa stepped forward, she could compromise her balance with Uki otoshi, the floating drop. Chloe did her best to ignore the burning in her chest that hadn'd left since the Shinmen training, trying to keep her focus on judo for now.
