my lungs will fill and then deflate

Once Avantika broke from her intense concentration, she was instantly hit with a bundle of nerves. Did she do it right? Did she do it too right? She liked being good, but she didn't want to stand out too much. She was still in need of teaching. She wanted to be taught. She liked knowing more about the world, and surely going over something like fighting over and over again would help her know it better, right?

Rudy seemed pleased, with his wagging tail and sunny smile. His body language was always so open. He never seemed to care what others might think. Avantika marveled at that. She decided that someday she wanted to be more like the younger boy. He was more carefree than she had ever been. Ears. Flat. She could do that. She obeyed his instruction dutifully. By his next words, there was a reason for it, too. She liked her ears. She needed them.

Her eyes scanned the boy's movements as he told her to glare at him this time. She closed her eyes for a breath to get herself ready. Then she let the growl out in a short sound, glaring straight at Rudy with all the force she had in her. It was harder this time. She liked Rudy. But she wasn't scaring him, not really. So it was okay. She did as he instructed the next time too, tensing up like a statue. It tingled her muscles a little. She was used to tensing up from fear, but not offensively. Maybe it wasn't that different.
