Working out the kinks

To his pleasure, the glowing boy wasted no time in sweeping forward to begin their spar on the offensive. Giving up the first move could make or break a fight, he knew that intrinsically as a diplomat and tactician. Ideally, one would always be able to take the first move in an effort to surprise your foe, but this wasn’t a foe. It was family, and that meant something.

Takeshi swept alongside him, his powerful form bumping against the man’s side sending him sidestepping. The youth lowered his front half, trying to use his body to send his legs out from under him and Raijin grinned. It was a smart move, but one he’d seen before. Raijin lifted a hind leg and planted it on the boy’s muzzle, pushing down in an effort to drive his head into the ground below them.
