Ooc:: ...and this happens right before the "Change The Formality" thread. The calico male would give a soft sigh as he approached the chamber that he shared with his great niece. The girl was attached to him, a sweet thing, but really so naive. So terribly naive. He would pause before making the corner into the cavern, tilting his head to the side. Aiko had twisted her paw trying to get to the battle training between Isokan and Bevroren, and even if she had arrived it would have made it painful for her to spar. So now the male wanted to work with her one on one. He had taken it upon himself to speak with her and better her into a more mature young wolfess. Allen would turn into the area, finding his niece there. The gems that glowed reflected light to see by, and Allen would give a soft smile. He had told her of the meeting, of his plan to train her in fighting and hunting. This would be a simple round of tactics for defenses and ?faint? attacks. Where she would make moves on him but he would make no actual attack, just countering and moving his paws and jaws into positions in a bit of a mock ?spar?. ?Now then young lady, are you ready to begin the lesson?? ""

Aiko looked at her uncle and gave a low bow. ?Yes uncle Ally! I?m ready to learn how to fight!? Aiko answered with a lot of enthusiasm. She was excited to finally be learning a skill after worrying what would become of her.

Aiko showed very little of her teeth to her uncle. She knew, of course, that this was just practice not even a real spar itself but still she wanted to show her uncle that she was ready to take this as serious as she could, and hopefully the next time they had the battle training or even a real spar she would be prepared to hold her own ground.
