my lungs will fill and then deflate

Rudy was actually having to think about how to handle Tika versus just flowing with it. He didn’t want to scare Tika. That thought was at the forefront of his mind with each step. So after giving his instructions Kotori watched Tika carefully and waited. Watching wolves is what he did for fun and so he’d read a lot of expressions before, but never the one she wore so often.

Rudy smiled softly as she finally found the strength to lunge forward but what was this? Kotori had already assured her he’d step back so she could continue practicing on lunging and thus he was ready to move away from her lunge. He had been hoping to need to back up more than he did, however. Her eyes were closed? She was using her shoulder huh? They had a long way to go.

What would mom and mama say? The one thing Rudy knew is he still had to be positive but had to give some true information. This was so hard! “Hey Tika,” Rudy tried to keep the words light with a smile on his face but a hint of amusement also, “its really hard to fight well with your eyes closed. See? I told you that you wouldn’t hurt me. You can trust me. Even when we spar, I’ll make sure neither of us gets hurt bad so you can trust me and relax for it.”

Rudy didn’t question her choice of using her shoulder and imagined maybe it could work? Knock the enemy off balance and then follow up with an attack if you are fast enough? Mom and mama could say better but she definitely needed to work on keeping her eyes open and they needed to work on her faith in him. If she could trust him then she wouldn’t need to be scared while they fought. Just like how he wasn’t scared of anything in the pack because his moms wouldn’t let anything happen.

“If we take it slow do you think you can spar now?” It had to be her decision, he couldn’t push her. Rudy wasn’t used to thinking so hard and already felt he was going to need to sleep afterward. It was crazy. He still felt his body had energy but mentally he was actually getting tired.
