Liviana only a little bit surprised that no one had bothered to teach this woman about fighting before. Sure, no one would expect a blind wolf to really be able to fight, that to her that was all the more reason to work with her on it - even if it was just enough to defend herself with. Liviana shrugged a bit at the apology for no one else showing up. "Eh, it is what it is. I don't think I've had a decent fight since I left my homeland. But I'm glad I'm able to help teach you a bit all the same. She let Storm stand and move a bit closer before Liviana shifted closer as well. "I wish my cousin was here to help teach you," she added conversationally. "He was blinded in battle when he was young and he learned how to fight pretty darn well without his sight. I think I picked up enough from him to pass on some tips though."

She stopped so that she was directly in front of the other woman with a couple of feet of space between them. "Usually I wouldn't suggest going for any close contact fighting, but for you it might be good. Of course you can always listen for where their paws are shuffling against the dirt, but I wouldn't want you to rely on that. Once you make contact with your opponent try to stay at least within close enough range that you can feel where they are. I'm going to press my chest to yours like I would if I was trying to reach around to your scruff and when I try to back away push back into me, okay?" Liviana got a few of her defenses into place, just so she would be in the same sort of stance that she would be if she was really fighting. Her knees bent slightly, her toes spread, her claws dug into the ground, and her head tipped down over her throat. Then she went to cross the short distance between them so that she could press her chest to Storm's, not quite hitting hard enough to cause any bruising, just enough to give the effect she was looking for. She quickly reached around Storm's neck to lightly nip at Storm's scruff and then took a step back to retreat a bit. She watched Storm curiously, interested to see what the other woman would do.

"Talk" "You" Think
