He was proud of his niece. Granted, he was already having a hard time being impartial with the young girl, but still - as she picked herself back up and puffed out her chest proudly, he had a hard time holding back a pleased grin. Their family in general was a strong and resilient bunch and she was cut from that very same cloth. He saw it in everything from the duality of her beautiful, speckled coat to the pride she took in herself. There was a long road of trail, error, success, and failure ahead of her so if there was anything he could do to help her along that path he would. She seemed to really absorb his lesson and that made him feel like it was worth it. He watched as Procella made another swipe at the young girl and grinned when she hopped to the side and avoided the attack entirely. He didn't care that the second swipe had gotten her across the nose, he only cared that there was improvement. He was perhaps even more proud of the fact that when Procella did land a tap on the princess' nose, Ike didn't fall down in a huff. Instead she stood tall with just an "oof" to show for it. "Well done," he told her, that pride showing through his emerald gaze. Procella rubbed happily against Kiyohime as well, her long, fluffy tail practically wrapping around the girl like a plush scarf. "Again," he instructed after a moment, leaving a gentle smile on his features while he watched his companion and his niece go back to their training with a series of swipes, hops, and bops all one after another. Sometimes Ike was able to dodge them and sometimes she wasn't, but she continuously got better and more comfortable with it and that was what mattered. After a while he raised his paw, stopping the two young fighters from this particular drill. "How about we reverse things a bit?" he asked with a grin. He knew attacking was more fun than defending and he didn't want Ike to see it as all work and no play. "Procella, you be on the defensive. Ike, its your turn to see if you can land a hit on her." |
