The first to arrive was Merihem. Suiteheart had met him at the border, if she remember correctly (honestly, her head was so jumbled up from receiving years upon years of memories that she wasn't entirely sure). Still, she knew he was a newcomer. She was excited for his participation in this.
The new arrival was Roy, and she found herself smiling at big brighter. Roy was one of her best friends, and she could have fun when she was around him. They were sort of partners in crime, if she did say so herself. And in this situation, he was a skilled fighter. At the same time, however, he would finally be getting to practice fighting techniques while missing one leg.
Hazel stepped forward following Roy, and she smiled gently at her golden girl. She noted Hazel's slight unease at the situation, and she recalled their conversation from a few days ago. She felt a tugging at her chest - guilt? sadness? - for Hazel. The poor girl had experienced more than anyone her age ought to, and the Ecliptic Admiral completely understood why Haze would want to sit this one out. "That's perfectly fine, Hazel. Ifya have any questions about what's happening, feel free to ask 'em since you're still technically participating."
Caboose padded up next, and Suiteheart was glad to see him as well. The sweet canine was a bit flighty, but she couldn't help but like him. He was amusing to watch hop around in childlike excitement. As she watched him weave through the gathered crowd, she sensed Hyacinth, her most kid-like soul, rising, clearly intrigued by Caboose.
Her eyes flickered to Church, who arrived but seconds after all the rest. Like most in attendance, he was new as well. He had joined the group just after Caboose, and it had been more than obvious they had been connected in some way. She wondered how that might play out on the battlefield. Whatever the case, she figured it would be interesting for sure.
"Alright, Merihem, Roy, Caboose, and Church," the white feline began, naming each participant in turn, "we're going to start with the basics." She took a few steps to the left before moving right, slowly, and then back again. Suiteheart had a nasty habit of pacing whenever she was teaching.
"First thing's first about fighting: you gotta have a good stance." She stopped her movements and faced the five gathered. She then crouched just slightly with feet firmly planted on the ground. "It's always good to have a lower center of gravity too, because that means its harder for others to throw you off balance. Why doesn't everyone try, huh?"
