Rise Up, Ting Ting, Like Glitter And Gold

After Fern talks about the pros and cons of everything, she listens with rapt attention. Armor that is tailored to fit her? That sounds extremely nice. To demonstrate the benifts, Art gives a languid stretch in his leather cuirass and the gray girl’s eyebrows shoot up. It seems like Art’s armor is send skin, something that is comfortable with. Testing her training armor, the gray girl tries mirror the stretch but finds it pinches and hinders her movement. Standing back up, Fern says, “Yeah. I would like tailored armor like that.” And then, Art is speaking of practicing with the sword and she bobs her head in understanding, dipping to pick the wooden object back up. She takes time to reposition the sword, finding the sweet spot in her mouth before giving a couple test swings. Already her hold feels more secure then when she first started. Smiling around the wooden sword, Fern watches as Art picks up his own practice sword and joins her in the ring. Her tail wags lazily as she watches him approach, expecting to learn some new stances. Art’s words her off guard and her tail stops wagging as excitement builds.

A smile plays across Fern’s lips as Art rolls his shoulders and gets into his fighting stance telling her to get the feel of swinging a sword in actual combat. Nostrils flare as the exhilaration takes hold and Fern lowers her center of gravity, preparing her defenses and a plan of attack. When he says he will go easy on her, Fern snorts a laugh around her wooden sword and leans forward slightly, putting a slightly greater portion of her body weight into her front legs. Without a word she launches toward Artorias, legs devouring the short distance to the alpha. She charges straight at him head lowered but not cocked to one side to give away which side she will attack. At the last possible moment, Fern angles her paws to Art’s left side and winds up a swing. She lowers her head down and to the side and, when she is close, Fern will slash the sword upward and to the opposite side in an attempt to smack Artorias’s leg… hard. He might take it easy on her but Fern feels the need to prove her worth as student.
