When it came down to it, Zephyr truly wanted to be sure these kids stood half a chance at defending themselves against an enemy. Especially Caelestis. He eyed her a bit longer than the others as they tried to answer, though his gaze snapped back to Corvus as the young boy spoke up. His expression was far from threatening, and he chuckled slightly - though he wasn't totally wrong. "You got it! Anything you do to tense your muscles will help brace you against an attack. Likewise, when you're wrinkling your nose - and, like Rhea said, keeping your ears pinned back - you make it harder for an enemy to grab on to those parts of your body."

Caelestis had more advanced answers, as he expected, and he nodded in his daughter's direction. "Bending your joints is important. Being too relaxed is always a bad idea, but being too tensed up and keeping your limbs straight and locked will let your opponent knock you over just as easily." A slight grin pulled at his muzzle, proud of his daughter's insight. He glanced over at Caelum as she spoke up. "Like she said, set your defenses as best as you can with what has been brought up today, and we'll both judge how you're doing to help you improve." Perhaps not the most exciting lesson, but the basics were just as important as the more interesting combat lessons, and he'd rather his own daughter know how to keep herself safe and defended before teaching her how to harm another effectively.
