Slither and Slide

She had been about to chastise him over his brash behavior but he called her grandma and he was just so excited. Resin wrinkled her nose for a moment against the blood that was running onto it from the wounds to her injured face. Explaining things to a child was more than difficult sometimes. It was downright impossible.

Mort gave his play by play and then kissed her cheek, asking if she was hurt. The giantess sighed and licked the top of the boys head. "I will be fine." Now to give some criticism. "In the future, think before you act. Your mind needs to be quick to think of the outcome before you act in an attack." Azure had the same problem. He didn't think before he acted. "Had I not been fast enough to step in when the snake was striking, it would have bitten you, curled around you, possibly broken your wings. You would have died if I wasn't able to get it off of you quickly enough."

Sliding down to lay on her stomach, she reached out with one big paw and pulled the boy close. "You did well, you just need to think before you act, okay?" The normally gruff woman nuzzled between Mort's ears. "I don't want anything to happen to you." Would he understand? Could he take constructive criticism?
