Put 'em up

Kione understood fighting with friends and family but with reptiles? Soaking up the idea had an almost comical expression on his face, but after a second he shrugged it off.  The idea of wolves working with other wolves was normal but other creatures of such wide variety?  Then the bit that stung, suggesting he find some companions also.  Any glib statement he might have made became soured at his bit back how he’d had companions, an entire family of friends that nothing could stand up to.  A tide of wild dogs that could take down anything.  It was a beautiful memory, a great feeling, and then the tide of memories pulled back into the ocean.  He was alone on the beach with emptiness.  Oh well.

“Yeah, I’ll keep that in mind.” There was a slightly better edge into but it wasn’t meant for her.  “Well Luv, I’m more worried about hurting them than the numbers but you make a fair point.” The painted dog might not look that impressive but his jaw pressure might be a surprise to the wolf.  Hmm, he had to remember this was just a romp and not a real fight.  No ripping open her guts.  How hard did she play?  How gentle or rough should he be?  Guess she could set the pace?

Kione shifted to a battle stance, not because he really felt a need to prep himself so much as to let her see he was taking this from talking to fighting.  It’s what they were there for right? The lean and legged dog stared at her and then lunged but, not forward.  Squared at her he still managed to jump sideways and lunge forward aiming for a bite to her leg.  If it connected there would be pressure on it for a moment but Kione wouldn’t aim for real damage unless she did.
