What's In Your Head

As worried and protective as Kirsi was with her children, it made Onyx feel a bit of pride while her mother hadn't scolded her or fret over the saber cat. It did make her just feel a little more attached to her mother, like Kirsi was proud of her and she did a good job. At least in the way of protecting the pack maybe. It wasn't like Onyx initiated a fight with a dangerous animal at least.

Onyx followed Kirsi outwards of the den area a little more before her mother started to instruct her and demonstrate. Onyx carefully put her knees in a bend while facing her mother as she did, watching her paws to make them even and her tail flowed naturally behind her for balance. She had never thought of a stance like this before, but with the couple fights she had with the other kids and the fight with the saber cat, it almost fell in place for her.

She tucked her chin in too a little too much at first, looking in an awkward position up at her mother but she gently relaxed into the lower, almost pounce like position. She smiled when it felt right at least, raising her head back to normal but her legs remained still in the same stance. "I never thought of how to defend myself, I just did it." Well, she was more bitey than shieldy. But either way, in her young age she was just throwing herself into fights without really any instruction or better training. At least she could look forward to doing better while her mother taught her this.
