I'll take it under advisement

Eligos paused at the crest of a hill, surveying the land and his prospects. Cypher dogged his steps nervously, still not quite feeling confident after Kida had snapped at him when he'd tried to peek in to try to count her puppies, but him being there at all was an improvement over the last few weeks. Eli's armor felt comfortable, familiar, though he had only recently begun to wear it again since he'd had to remake it after he'd shot up several inches. His helmet, too, he'd needed to rebuild to accommodate his horns, and it was far more comfortable than it was the last time he'd worn it. That had been during the raid, when the pressure from the helmet against his budding horns had ripped the skin over them open so - not a particularly high bar.

He was out of practice in battle, as was Cypher, and they still owed a raid to Valhalla per their agreement so they - and the rest of Aerie - needed to step up training so they could give a better showing this time. He'd put off as long as he could while he was recovering from the unpleasantness of a combined growth spurt and growing horns, but it was time. That, and the possibility of getting a new member with a proven fight skill would be handy with Aerie's numbers dwindling.

Raising his muzzle he called out, looking for an opponent.
