shock to your system [pupper fight lessons]

Chuckling at the exchange between her mate and daughter, Caelum looked on as the group formed one wolf at a time. It wasn't much of a turn-out, but, it was a start. The woman could hardly complain. Maybe if this went well it would boost Zeph's confidence and they could do more in the future.

He began the lesson, while those assembled looked on with interest. It was so fun to see the interested expressions on the younger wolves' faces. A tinge of nostalgia tickled at her mind. It was like before, training the younger pack members, just like back when she and Zephyr was so young and bright-eyed. How young had they been when they started the pack? Corentine's age? Younger? Goodness.

Caelum grinned as the pups gave their answers and Caelestis only barely managed to let them finish before adding her own contribution. Caelum would allow some time for Corentine to give her thoughts as well, all the while smiling lightly at the group of young learners.

Once they were finished, Caelum would add her thoughts before Zeph went on. "Very good, all of you! Make sure when you're setting your defenses to try and remember all of them. It never hurts to overdo it, but it'll cost you to not remember the right things. Practice is the best way to commit them to memory. Set them one at a time, from nose to tail, then do it all again." Not always the most fun way to spend an afternoon, but necessary to cement it as habit and know each action forward and backwards to make it instinctual in a real fight.
