catch step

While introduction is being played the little maid rubs her eyes and looks about, soon spying dandelions. She springs up and walks slowly toward dandelions, using this catch step: Right foot forward, then left brought forward, toe touching floor at right of right foot, then in front of right foot, and lastly to left of right foot.

The interpreter took a catch step before it translated what he'd said, and Kivrin felt a fleeting surprise that she couldn't understand him.
