Sora held back a smile at the unimpressed glower Enyo shot her way, amusement shining through the Jounin’s gaze despite her best efforts to hide it. As much as the Kuronmeru boy got on her nerves (which was often), there were times when he showed just how young he really was- young and horribly maladjusted to social situations, like asking for help with a jutsu he simply didn’t understand. So when he spoke again she was genuinely surprised to hear the frustration evident in his voice, the question catching her off guard enough that she actually showed the feeling on her face, though only for a moment. "Practice." She said, tilting her head to one side as she spoke. Enyo never asked for help, not even when he clearly needed it, and he rarely ever admitted to making a mistake. To hear him do both, in practically the same breath, was like finding a four-leaf clover stuck between a unicorn’s teeth. It just didn’t happen. "The easiest way to try is with a small puddle, only a few inches deep, and go barefoot. It allows you to feel the water better. Then once you’ve mastered it you put sandals on, increasing the depth until you can do it on any surface."He wouldn’t like to hear that, but unfortunately there was a great deal of things the boy would have to learn by practicing rather than some clever trick. Most Kenjutsu techniques, particularly in Ittoryu, were learned by constant repetition rather than some clever trick, and if Enyo was to study under her in that regard he would have to get used to it, no matter how much he didn’t want to. "Try one foot first." Sora said, gesturing to the pond in front of her. "That way, if you sink, you’ll only go a little bit into the water, and you’ll be able to feel where you’re going wrong."Kuronmeru Enyo
