All Outta Bubblegum (pup training)

Their mother spoke about how there weren't any sure ways of protecting the stomach except being ready to move out of the way, and Artur frowned. So being ready to move fast was, in itself, a defense? He guessed that made sense, since some things you did made it difficult to move fast so it logically followed you could also do certain things to make it easier to move fast. She demonstrated how they could tuck their tails to make it more difficult for their stomach's to be bitten, and Artur tentatively tried it before rejecting it. No, it made it look like he was scared. He much liked the feeling of leaving his tail unfurled behind him like her second example. It made him feel confident and alpha-like. She went on to demonstrate how to hold yourself so you could move faster, and Artur quickly followed along, trying to hold himself lightly on his toes and bend his legs a little. He didn't test it like she did, though, not wanting his siblings to see if he messed up the first time and fell on his face. He'd practice that part on his own until he was good at it.
