Patient and quiet, he heard Zee before he saw her, she was making a great deal of noise scrambling out of the den and through the ravine towards him, and when he did catch sight of her she looked rather concerned. He watched her as she looked about his chosen field, and saw it as a piece of land and nothing more. Confusion was in her expression, and he hid a smile. He didn’t want to start this out with the sass he knew she could give him all too easily.
“This is the start of your new Training regime, Pupil Zee.” he said, and a smile did partially crack his stern expression, his eyes dancing a little as he looked to the small wolf. She was going to hate this, but wouldn’t take no for an answer. He was going to whip her into fighting shape, even if she killed him in the process.
He moved forward them, brushing past her as he came to a stop near the water. “Stand here, Trainee Zee” he said, scuffing a paw in the earth to indicate where, before stepping backwards himself. He would wait for the expect sass before he actually started their lesson, best to get that part out of the way first.
