Who's crazier? The fool or fool that listens...

Kotori smirked at the boy’s retort, moving to stand over the boy, glancing down.  “Excuses don’t win fights.”  Sure, the kid had big paws but he should be used to them when they were always attached after all.  

“Anyway, you killed my attempt at making a snare.” Kotori pointed all blame at the boy instead of himself even though Kotori was the one who got the snare into the fire.  It was hard not to at the moment!

“So, planning to be a warrior I assume?” Every Fatalis should be a warrior, it was part of who they were.  Fatalis also weren’t clumsy nor did they come up with lame excuses. For a moment all of his focus was on looking the boy over.  “If you were training hard enough at fighting you’d be used to those feet.  Clearly, you’re a slacker.”  The thought of age wasn’t occurring to Kotori in terms of how long he had to train.  Another thing the poor pup wasn’t going to get when Kotori’s mind wasn’t in the right place.

“Do you even know the basics?  Let’s see you put your guard up.” Kotori helped to inspire the boy by showing off his teeth in a silent snarl.  Would the boy hide or stand to defend himself?  Snarling at something really did feel good.  Kotori just reminded himself no more striking and definitely no biting.
