title: grace
fandom: mulan
warnings: none
summary: mulan practices.
Mulan and the men run drills from sunup until after the sun disappears, staggering wearily through the staff positions. The elite squadrons have graduated to sparring with swords, and are permitted to bear them in camp.
The staff slips and Yao raps her knuckles; in her mind, her mother admonishes her to straighten her shoulders. She grits her teeth and resumes a starting position. Yao taps the bottom position of her staff and steps back. Mulan tightens her grip and steps forward, landing a blow on Yao’s knee. This time, he inclines his head to her, and they start again.
