He certainly wasn't surprised when he saw how excited his niece was to be on the attacking side, but that didn't make it any less adorable. Right now it was a fun activity, a way to play, but perhaps one day it could grow into the same sort of vigor for battle that he had. He wasn't sure why he had taken to fighting the way he had, but for as long as he could remember it had been a focus and a passion for him. Perhaps it had started as something he knew could be helpful to his family and would allow him to protect them, but now that he had grown confident in his skills, it had come back around to the fun and thrill he used to feel from it once upon a time. Procella faced off against Ike again, this time coiled and ready to bounce out of the way. She was successful in avoiding the first swipe pretty easily, but adjusting her direction quickly was something she was still working on so when Ike's taloned paw swiped toward the opposite side it grazed her shoulder before she could get away. It wasn't quite a hit, but it was certainly a very good start for a first go at it. Plague knew that most of the training he had done so far with Viridis and Procella had been centered around offensive attacks since that would most likely be how they would assist him most in fights so he knew there would be a pretty good chance that Ike would be more successful with this than she had been with the previous exercise. His guess seemed to be correct, but he certainly wouldn't downplay the success either way. He smiled again and nodded, telling her, "That's a good start. Try using the same sort of stance you had before when you were defending though. Your opponent won't always be one sided like it is right now so you'll have to be ready for attacks and defending at the same time. You might as well get in the habit of it now." He waited for the girls to get to their places before he nodded again and instructed, "Again." |
