- HOMER NARR2-T/Ref@5429
-
- Thatcher appeared at the Recreation
- Complex one afternoon wearing his own
- light training outfit, the traditional
- white gi and belt of Eastern martial
- arts. He said nothing, but began slowly
- doing a series of unfamiliar kata --
- formal movements -- very flowing and
- undulating. Peter was training lightly
- with Rover, simple free-style attacks
- and neutralizations. From time to time
- he glanced over at Thatcher. Finally he
- paused and said, "Know who that is?"
-
- Rover looked around. "Nope. Don't know
- what that is he's doing, either."
-
- "Shall we ask... no, I guess not." Their
- instructor had arrived; they hurried to
- line up.
-
- The room was large, and divided subtly
- into areas. Their corner, arranged for
- the class, did not allow a view of what
- Thatcher was doing, and when the class
- was over, he was no longer there.
