an early start

Malachai mostly ignored Panic's presence, he'd already been berrated for playing too rough, which he was pretty sure was just his siblings being whimps. But his ears perked as he heard his sister asking about someone and he tilted his head to keep an eye on the man and his sister. He wasn't about to let anyone hurt her, even if they weren't exactly super close.

And then the man, who called himself Hattori, said the magic words. Malachai's lizard was all but forgotten and his little paws were carrying him right up to the man. Eyes wide as he looked up at him. " 'S a Sinobi a fighter?" He bounced his weight from paw to paw, performing that little puppy dance of excitement. "Can you teach us to fight?"
