Heloise chuckled fondly at her daughter, bending her slender neck to plant a lick upon her head. "unfortunately, you can always get hurt" because they were mortals, they bled. they injured themselves. be it intentional or not, it was what made them wolves. it made them living beings. separate from gods and monsters. "but I will teach you some basic defense so you aren't at a disadvantage" she told the girl with a firm nod. walking a brief way away from Lumi, she squared her shoulders and prepared herself for a defensive stance.

"what you want to do is balance your body. make sure no one can topple you easily" she went on, sliding into the role easily enough. it was both good training and good practice when she was mentoring Tsunami. she had been held up with that, seeing as she had been pregnant but now that her children were older she would do the mentoring as assigned. "where do you think your brothers and sisters will try to attack first? the throat? the eyes? maybe even the tail? learning a wolf's mindset is just as important as fighting them head-on."

she didn't want to say larger wolves were only brutes and lacking imagination. Lumi's father proved that wrong. "try balancing, dear." she asked the little girl, dropping her own stance to move to her daughter's side. she would cover where to protect next, not wishing to overwhelm the girl all at once.
