The eagerness that radiated off his companions was almost palpable. They had been training hard, and it was time to see if that hard work would pay off. He glanced down at Lumi, wondering if she was strong enough yet to take on an opponent. Her brother was a little bigger than the more delicate looking vixen, but maybe she'd surprise him. “Battle ready, are we?” Crimson gaze rose abruptly at the sound of that unfamiliar voice to find a wolf equally as red as his eyes. At their side was a very familiar sight. Gavroche. Finn and Lumi bounced with joy at the sight of their friend, and the pair moved to greet the fox-sized wolf and his own little companion. "Hey Gav! It's nice to see ya!" The Todd's face lit up with a grin as they bounded around him.
“Our cousin speaks highly of you, Acere.” Oh? "Is that so?" He was flattered that Gavroche spoke so highly of him, but he hadn't yet shown the young boy his skills to show whether he was worth boasting about. Even so, he dipped his head to the lad, "If anyone is worth talking about, it's young Gav. It's not every lifetime that someone as special as him comes along," He winked at the smaller male as he turned his attention back to his potential challenger. He noticed the wolfess seemed to refer to herself differently than normal. But he didn't question it and instead chalked it up to Melanthios preferring to refer herself that way. That was well and good. He could respect that. "My companions are starting to help me fight, yes. I've been training them and getting them ready for it. Now that they're older, I'm sure they'll put up a good fight." Sure they tried at the tournament, but they had been inexperienced and a whole season younger. Now though, he was confident that they were more prepared.
"Sometimes we help him craft things, too! See those things on his feet? We helped with that!" Finn beamed and proudly puffed out his chest. "Yes, our daddy teaches us a lot of things," Lumi spoke up from beside Ace's legs. In all honesty, Ace was glad to have run into Gav again. His companions never really stopped talking about him whenever they had to part ways.
He then caught the question from Gav's little companion and he couldn't help but chuckle. Before he could answer, Gav answered for him. And then Finn spoke up again, "Yeah! He uses that stuff to fight with! And we're gonna help him win, ya ready!?" He yipped. At this point, Ace felt content just sitting back and listening to their excitement. "I'd be honored to spar with Melanthios, I'm sure they would put up a good fight," Gaze rose to meet Mela's again as he grinned, "If you're okay with my companions joining in, I'm ready when you are." |
