The pups answers were simplistic but they were thinking along the right track. Again, Birna would hold back. This was Esti's meeting after all so she would let the other woman lead and direct it but she did wish to participate at least a little and she would nod at Esti's words. "Perhaps we can go over specific targets later, height and size will factor into what targets may be more likely to be successful. If you're a small wolf trying to leap for a larger wolf's eyes your balance could be put at risk, opening you for your larger opponent to knock you over. Likewise a larger wolf going in for a lower target, such as the wrists will lose momentum as they crouch down for the target giving a smaller opponent a chance to use their superior speed. If you're trying to get under a larger opponent you must be careful and make sure to cause them significant pain or read their movements or they could try to smother you beneath their weight." There were fighters that fought like berserkers, she was guilty of this and they needed to be aware that every attack and target had it's advantages and disadvantages. Rarely was there ever going to be a perfect attack. "It's important to have a repertoire of targets in mind based on you opponents size. This isn't to say you can't go for certain targets. As your opponents position changes so will the targets, risks and the chance of success. Practice will make perfect in this."

Birna would fall silent as Esti continued speaking of confidence. She caught the gist of what Esti was trying to say though it would seem the other woman wasn't quite meant to be a public speaker as she talked about balance. Birna would add in a few more words. "Esti's right, fights can always go either way. The environment can affect the outcome, health and previous injuries can affect the outcome. You or your opponent may just have a bad day. No one is above defeat or any below victory. Over-confidence or self-depreciation can be your greatest enemies." She smirked a bit as Esti's 'lose your head, you're dead' comment. That was a good way to put it.

Her last question was addressed to the young ones and thus Birna would fall silent again.
