Problem Child

His mentor seemed to relax, if only slightly, as Noir answered his pointed question. If Ody was playing at Noir’s disdain for his sisters then he was doingit right. The young pup tried not to let his face get too screwed up at the thought of his mentor ditching him for one of his… less than stellar sisters. He would have been insulted mostly, but he had to admit the thought of trading mentors..

Noir hadn’t even decided if he liked Odysseus or not, but he liked to keep his options open too. Now the Destruction boy might have given his mentor a hard time, but when all was said and done he was serious about learning. Training was one of the few things he most valued in his short little life, and he wasn’t about to squander it because he was trying to be tough. Odysseus didn’t know him, even if his dad or Shaye said something about him. He would see though, eventually.

His mentor answered in the affirmative, they were going to train. Without hesitation, but without a grin either, Noir walked after the older wolf. "Tell me, Noir, why do you want to learn how to fight?" There were a few different ways to answer the question. He could lie and give him a vague answer, he could tell him half the truth, or he could tell him everything. Noir didn’t think the reaction would be a good one if he told Odysseus the full reasoning.

”I want to be the best.” He decided on easily, ”It’s fun.” In his own mind Noir thought those two reasons were weak. His main goal, was to dethrone Poem. Literally and figuratively.
