Plague watched his niece stumble into Procella's swipes not once but twice and gave a small, sympathetic smile when she plopped down onto her haunches defeatedly. She was still so young that just learning how to use her paws was still quite difficult so he wasn't necessarily surprised and he definitely wasn't disappointed. Procella stepped forward to bump her head encouragingly against Kiyohime's, her blue-gray eyes wide with a silent apology for hitting the princess twice with her large paws. "Failure is a big part of learning," Plague told her with a knowing emerald gaze. "If you let yourself get defeated every time you mess up you'll never be able to learn." He gave a small nod to Procella to return to her previous position which his companion obediently followed. Plague stood and walked over to Ike, nudging her gently till she was back on her paws and then looking down at the little princess with a look that was firm but still loving. "All of the best fighters had to fall down over and over till they were able to master their craft - myself included. But you know what all strong fighters have in common?" He leaned down with a playful glimmer in his eye, tapping his nose against hers as he added, "They don't pout about it." With a chuckle he turned and walked back over to where he was previously sitting, settling back on his haunches to watch the pair again. "Alright... Try it again." Procella waited for the princess to get ready before hopping forward and repeating the same exercise she had before, silently rooting for her opponent all the while. |
