sparring in the rain

All her life she couldn’t wait for the day she could call herself a proper princess, poised and graceful and never stepping a foot out of place. It came naturally to her beautiful sister and she had always inwardly been jealous of that fact. Never would she ever say it outloud, she loved Ikigai far too much for that. Her sister was always there for her when she tripped and even if she couldn’t share her grace she tried her hardest to help Ike find her own. Some days she wasn’t certain she would. That was why Ezra’s lighthearted presence was so special, she didn’t feel like she had to be prim and proper standing here in the rain with him. She was soaking wet, her posture was relaxed, and her maw sported a goofy grin to rival his own.

Ezra almost looked like he was going to try and repeat her name back to him, but she didn’t miss the look of relief as she gave him her nickname. He grinned, happily taking the name Ike and using it with ease. Her grin brightened and she nodded enthusiastically. Most everyone called her Ike besides her father, who was proper and serious by nature. "It’s good to meet you, Ezra!” She chuckled softly, they had met twice but now they were officially introduced.

The boy looked up to the sky, there was no relief from the rain. He mentioned a spar, he hadn’t been able to really test himself with the way he was injured, and the young girl wasn’t about to deny him this. "Oh, yes please!” She told him enthusiastically, knowing a spar with him wouldn’t be the serious training she would get from her father. Plague was always offering fun lessons, but this was something new all together. "Ready or not!” Ike didn’t give him any more warning before she leapt at his massive form.

She was all leg and enthusiasm as she aimed to lift herself onto her back legs and wrap her arms around his neck. Her cat like claws extending to try and grip at her opponent. She wanted to use her tiny little antlers to catch him under the jaw while her delicate jaws opened and went for his neck. Tanto looped around behind Ezra as a distraction and Phoenix flapped his wings to try and obscure the boy’s gaze.
