passing down knowledge

Roan stated that Iolaire was his whole world and that he wouldn't break his vow. Resin could only take him at his word. She barely knew him and could only hope that he would stay true for her daughters sake. "Shall I tell you a secret?" The gruff woman asked, not entirely sure why she was volunteering such information. Iolaire didn't even know. This felt necessary, however. "The last man that she loved. The one that betrayed her. I ended his life just as I ended her fathers." She needed him to know that she was capable. "I'll trust in you to keep your vow for I will never let her suffer like that again." That was her vow. She had been absent for most of Iolaire's life. She definitely wasn't absent now. "If you are true, I'll forever be on your side."

Rather than attack as she'd instructed, Roan wished to speak first. How to plan a bear attack? "Alone, go for the eyes." She made a mock charge, powerful jaws open wide as though she would sink her serrated canines into his face. Drawing back, she circled, head still low. "With a team, you distract the bear," Lunging to the side, the woman snaked her way behind Roan, jaws opening again as she snapped them shut a hairs breadth from his Achilles tendon. "I take out the legs." Padding back around front, black ears flicked forward.

Coming close, the scarred warrior opened her maw, allowing Roan to see the wickedly sharp teeth within. "These teeth shear through meat and muscle like water. One quick snap and I can take a beasts legs right out from under them." Those teeth were the reason that she didn't spar often. If she did, the woman wouldn't use her mouth. It was all brute strength behind her blows.
