While Bast and Sirius tackled the second coyote, the yearling went for the third. It was easy enough; seeing its comrades fall, the frightened thing turned tail and had begun to run. Not fast enough — Malalia vaulted over the body of the first, stretching out her paws and tripping up the coyote's back legs. From there, it was all over, her fangs sinking into the back of its neck for a swift and deadly blow.
She turned back to Sirius. She would have asked how she'd done had her mentor not been so ready with praise, and the grin that followed was a twin to his own. She tried and immediately failed to look a little dignified, tail waving rapidly in wordless happiness. Her troubles about becoming a master warrior forgotten, at the moment. "You better watch out, then," she teased, dipping into a play bow, "'cause I'll be fighting you next!" And the yearling meant it wholly. She knew she'd lose that fight to the Warlord, that was a given. But the second he deemed her ready to spar with him? She'd be ready.
