Risk Taking

She was definitely encouraging, which he liked. She did not belittle any shortcoming that he had, but only offered ways in which he could improve, means to making himself a better hunter, fighter, healer, and a better asset to the pack. He liked this new mentality, and suspected it was the same sort of thing about Glaciem and Threar that had made him happy in those packs too. All in all, he felt very optimistic, which was a startling change from how alone and disheartened he had been before he had decided to travel out west.

But he was completely caught off guard as she issued him the challenge of beginning an impromptu lesson right then and there. Miksa's yellow eyes went wide as he stared at her, pausing half a moment just to see if she was serious and as he realized she was he began to wonder if maybe he did not know all the basics that he said he did. Tan ears folding back, he furrowed his brow and felt his mind crumble under the sudden pressure. Defenses, defenses. These should have been easy. "They come to you much easier in a fight," he said, embarrassed and somewhat guilty for having such trouble with something that should have been easy.

Come on, you know these, he told himself, swallowing as he tried to clear his mind enough to focus and draw them up one by one. He let his thoughts take him back to the fight he had been a part of, and tried to recollect what it was that he had done as he was being charged. "You need good balance," he started to say, sure that was what had kept him on his feet during his fight, "or else you'll go down. And you should protect your vital points." Was that a good start? Did he even know how to explain all of these things that had just come so naturally to him in the moment? Did he even remember all of them to begin with? He glanced over at Surreal uncertainly, hoping that he was at least on the right track.
