Zee kept her attention upon her student as she spoke, considering her words and where she may be able to throw her own input in. It was a difficult thing to give advice upon, as it was only natural that a smaller wolf may struggle against one twice their size. Zee herself had few victories versus direwolves like Sirius, and she thought hard upon what exactly might have been the turning point in those fights to allow her to win. "I see. Well it's good you have the basics, and yes the most common approach with such a size difference is simply to out-harass your opponent. I can understand your struggle however when you'd like to inflict real damage."

The horned queen exhaled, her gaze drifting off past Malalia as she thought upon it. So many fights with Sirius - and so many loses, too - how did she manage to tumble the titan? "It's difficult, because many of the sure-fire ways to win a fight are not exactly appropriate for sparring. There are many parts to a wolf that are as sensitive and accessible on a small one as they are on one like Sirius. The eyes, the ears, the nose, they're all targets that even a direwolf could fall to. It's much more difficult to practice those safely without injuring a packmate, though I recommend you keep them in mind for when you may be in real danger."

A thought crossed her mind, and she remembered the gifts Sirius had spoken to her about. A wolverine and a pair of steel claws. "As for general fighting, if you want to get close enough to do some damage safely you need to successfully distract your opponent. A large wolf's throat is still a vulnerable place to strike, though going head-on against him could very well be the reason you lose. Your companion can help you. If you direct him to do the harassment for you he may be able to steal the wolf's attention long enough for you to get in a real hit. If you can find opportunity, a grab to the muzzle or throat or even a heavy slam to the toes - your new claws are weighty, they will help with that - could turn the fight in your favor." Her voice was beginning to run dry, and Zee sat back on her haunches to wait while Malalia was able to think her words over.
