What's In Your Head

She listened intently to what her mother had to say, it could be seen on her face just how important this was to her. She would have only listened to her mother and father for advice on her fighting skill. Her siblings she would spar and do the same afterwards. For everyone else though, she was just down for the fight. She would only accept the help of her family, and she wanted to show others just how superior her and her family were. Or at least that they were all strong enough to protect each other. Strong enough to protect herself and her siblings who didn't take to fighting well. It was more important to her than anyone could really know. She almost didn't know the extent of it herself.

Her mother was basically talking about protecting the more fragile, vital areas. If someone did get a hold of her throat, it could be fatal quickly. She took that to heart. She understood the importance of that, and she wouldn't move on ignoring what her mother had to teach her. Relaxing, she looked up to Kirsi with a gentle smile, "I want to learn more, from you and dad." Onyx was at least honest, even if she withheld some truths or details, "I want to fight for my other siblings if I have to. I want to keep them safe, always." It could have been more deep than a young pup should be considering, but it was how she felt. And she wanted her parents to know that. She would want to protect them one day too. She wanted to learn from each of them to understand the strength of her father and the agility of her mother, and she wanted to use and know all the methods of fighting for her own best outcome.
