tread carefully

Hattori had the girl’s complete attention. The little princess Kiyohime treasured this alone time training with her father. The girl knew she had a long way to go to be any kind of proper warrior like her mother and father. That was why her father brought her out here today, to help better herself. To become the talented fighter that she was bred to be, but sometimes it felt like she would never get there. Hattori instilled a sense of confidence in her with his praise though, and the pup could imagine someday she would have the grace of her mother and the power of her father.

”Spar with me then.” He told her quietly before he began the spar. That was all the warning she was allowed before he sprung towards her. Defenses were the very first lesson that she learned, bending her joints, lifting herself to her toes, and raising the ridge of quills along her scruff. It was almost instinctual at this point. That was something the girl was grateful for as her father’s open jaws reached for that exact spot to gain control over her smaller frame.

Ike did indeed work from muscle memory, using her quills almost offensively as she bunny hopped in hopes of showing her father just how well she used her assets.
