"I'm fine. Sirius bullied me into this, that's all."She grumbled with a pout. It didn't take a genius to work out that she wasn't a fighter and thus not really interested in learning the ropes but whatever, she'd play along albeit reluctantly. At his question she rolled her shoulders in a shrug, she was as clueless as they came. She hadn't even had siblings to play fight with as a pup, she was she was green as grass."Nope. Never even had to lift a paw."
And maybe she ought to have been ashamed or at least embarrassed by her obvious lack of skill and prowess. After all, if someone as soft and as caring as Mortis could be a fighter then why couldn't she? It just seemed so...moot, she had so many wolves who were eager to leap to her defence if the need arose, wouldn't it be disrespectful to ignore their efforts? That was definitely an excuse, an attempt to wriggle out of the rock and the hard place Sirius had dropped her in. Sure sure, if she ran into trouble on a mission she might need to fight to defend herself but...what if it never came to that. Wouldn't all this time and effort be wasted?
She eyed Mortis' posture and wondered if there was something in the Fatalis blood that brought out the warrior in him. It was as though a switch had been flipped, gone was his sense of carelessness, replaced by an obvious display of strength and dignity. It was a look that suited him, as though he was ready to take the crown for himself.
"But I don't have wings like you, or claws or big teeth." She huffed, coming to stand beside Mortis as she bumped against his shoulder. At this point she was just making excuses.
