Grasping Straws

Birna mentioned enjoying finding trouble, though she wasn't sure how Valentine would react to them fighting Abaven. Esti smiled lopsidedly, "Guess we'll just have to ask then!" Esti nodded sharply when Birna said she was always open for a spar. That sounded really great! The warrior woman went on to explain how she wanted to train the pups, though she wasn't confident in training all of them. She suggested a joint training and Esti's smile only grew, "Training is fun and all, but what if it's also a competition? A joint training, but Team Esti against Team Birna?" Esti chuckled, "What better way to test them than to pit them against each other? We'll have to make sure to separate the siblings, of course." Esti explained. She thought of training pups against Birna then having them test their skills in a battle. That would provide motivation for the pups and the instructors, "Losers have to hunt a meal for the other team?" Esti added, tossing in a wink. She was always game for free food, "Buuuut, even if not, I'd be down for this joint-training. I think fighting them would be more fun though."
