Naiche had been focusing on learning how to use his speed in fights instead of attacking as of he had the strength of the more muscled or larger wolves.  When Rhona came to attack he had already been readying himself to dodge.  He pivoted and jumped backwards to avoid her attack.  The first dodge tended to be the easiest as most wolves still seemed to expect a matching attack.  Dodging was easier at night than attacking as well, only needing to avoid something versus a precise mark when lunging in.

The counter attacks were always the trickier ones.  He thought of running past and going for the back leg, it was a new favorite tactic but instead he would give her an easier attack to respond too.  This was about winning but also about making her better which meant building her up both in thinking up strategies and confidence.  

Naiche lunged in to bite at her front leg and aimed to lunge back out. Fortunately the front leg was directly below the white part of her chest to make it easier to spot its location in the night.  He would give her a closer target with his head near hers, but only for a moment.  That was the plan, but to be honest she got an extra heartbeat of time in there as his front shoulder complained about the fast pivots and dodging being pushed into it.  Would she dodge in time? The attack was fast enough but maybe she could read it? Would she attack back in time? He wasn’t slow but certainly not at his top speed now.  Damnit.
