I won't give up

ooc: SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG I SUCK. Gonna try and space the stuff out a bit so the thread will be long enough to collect skill points on. Athena nodded to each of them as they introduced themselves. Nala and Ashelia. She looked to Nala again as she described her past experiences, one brow raising curiously. It sounded like the pale woman had been dealt a hard hand, but she could use that to the woman's advantage. Her fighting might need refining, but at least she had been in battle before. She wasn't too surprised when Ash said she had never fought before. Most healers hadn't. She made a quick glance toward Amalia at the thought. It seemed to be a general problem among healers. Well, maybe not a problem. That was a bit too harsh of a word. "Not a problem!" she replied, giving Ashelia a smile. "So Nala, since you have some experience I'd like to spar with you if you'll humor me. I just want to get a feel of where your skills are and what we can improve on. And Ashelia-" she looked to the smaller woman, "I'll walk you through some defensive moves first and then you can watch mine and Nala's spar and see some of them in action. How's that sound?" She waited for any objections before adding, "Nala, you go ahead and get ready for our spar and I'll run through some things with Ashelia." She turned to Ashelia, then, letting Nala prepare to spar and start remembering her defenses. "Okay, so since you're on the smaller side, you'd probably be fighting wolves bigger than you for the most part. Something to remember is that they can easily over power you if you let them get on top of you. You can use your size to your advantage because you'll be able to move faster than someone like me. If worse comes to worse you can dive out of the way and run, but that should be a last resort option." She got down into her defenses so she could demonstrate them to Ash, describing each of them to her. "So you'll want to space out your paws so that they're even under you so you'll have a sturdy base so you don't get knocked over immediately. Spreading out your toes and digging your claws into the dirt will help with that too. Keep your ears back and your eyes narrowed so they aren't such easy targets as well." She stopped there for now. She knew it could be a lot to remember and she didn't want to overwhelm her. "Alright!" she said with a grin and a decisive nod. "Are you ready, Nala?" she asked as she turned to face the pale woman. "A short spar will do and no major bites. No need to make the healers work any more than they have to tonight." |
