As soon as she'd made it to the front, Anna bent down and dug through the box until she'd found a thigh holster. Or, well, at least that was what she thought she was holding. She hadn't even known what a holster was until half an hour ago. She studied the object for a few moments before deciding that it was indeed a thigh holster.
Anna moved off to the side and began strapping the thigh holster to her body. When she was sure it was properly adjusted, she stuffed her wand inside. Instead of immediately pulling it out, Anna stood and studied her new wand set-up for a moment. She could get used to this, for sure. Alright, alright. She needed to practice...no effort for simple admiring around here. She needed something to focus on, though...a makeshift opponent, so to speak. Turning around and around, she finally came face to face with a statue...one that seemed to be staring her down and just ready for a little duel.
Ahhh, a victim. Facing her 'opponent', Anna stood still, and then, with amazing speed (or so she hoped), Anna whipped her wand from the holster. Out the wand flew! It was in Anna's right hand and directed towards the statue within seconds. Had this been a real duel, Mr. Statue would have been a goner, for sure!
Anna stood, staring at her 'opponent' for a moment, then broke her stance and giggled lightly. She probably should practice this whole holster deal a few more times for good measure. After all, nobody ever became an expert on something after trying it a mere one time, now did they? Backing up a few steps, Anna slid her wand back into her new thigh holster. This new set-up would still take a bit of getting used to. It felt odd to have her wand somewhere else other than her pocket.
When she was ready to try again, Anna turned and made sure she was directly facing the suit of armor. It was much easier for her to practice drawing her wand while staring at a makeshift opponent. She eyed it for a few moments longer, imagining that it was really some terrible, up-to-no-good opponent she'd come across and needed to save herself and others from. Perhaps if she concentrated less on the actual holster, she could learn to properly draw her wand while giving most of her concentration to her opponent and her other surroundings.
Finally ready, Anna swiftly brought her right hand down to her left thigh, then pulled the wand from its holster. When it was out and ready for aim, she positioned it to where it was facing the suit of armor. Had she done it all quickly enough? Had she even done it properly in the first place? Those answers she didn't know, but maybe someone would be along shortly to clear things up.
