Briar walked out toward the river with Hikaru to meet up with their study group for the day and soon enough their little class of sorts had gathered. She thought about how difficult her path to this level of skill had been, how she felt like she had no one to turn to most of the time to ask questions or learn from, and she was just happy to have the opportunity to help someone else not have that challenge. She had been spending more time with Hikaru than most other wolves these days ever since their day of crafting while he was sick so when he asked her to help with this lesson she was happy to do so. When they arrived she found the Ashen princess and the wild dog she had heard about from her friend. They were an interesting group to be teaching altogether, that was for certain, but it didn't deter her. She was especially interested in getting to know the princess a bit better considering the fact that at some point in their lives they were likely going to be speaking as fellow leaders.

"Hello," she said with a nod of her head to Shuriken and Kione, settling down across from the trio and letting them introduce themselves as well if they liked. She tried to access what might be a good lesson for each of them. Shuriken in particular was an easier one to judge since they both had some similar assets in their antlers and weaponized paws. She knew Hika's skills fairly well, but Kione was more of a wild card for her. She noticed Hika crafting out of the corner of her eye and she glanced down at the twine he was looping. Pointing with her paw and using one of her claws to point to a specific point, she said, "Maybe try doubling up this knot or braid a bit of extra twine here... I think a bit of a thicker section here would be nice." Looking back up at the other two she asked, "Shuriken, have you gotten to have much experience with using your antlers in battle yet? And Kione, is there anything you'd like to work on?"
