Repeat After Me

After Artorias' wedding, she came back to her pups and was reminded just how quickly they were growing. It felt like just yesterday Artorias and his siblings were as small as Juniper, Malik, and Sierra. Now he was fully grown, married, leading a pack, and she figured it was only a matter of time before he sent word to tell her that she would be expecting grandchildren. It made her feel incredibly old, but so proud and happy of how her children had grown. It just reminded her that she couldn't take any moment with her pups for granted and she didn't want to miss a single moment of them getting older.

She decided to take a little dedicated time with each of her daughters to do a little training. It was hilarious to her that her two tiny daughters both seemed to be the scrappy ones that were interested in fighting while her giant of a son was taking more after the peaceful life of her father. She was never one to discourage her girls from doing whatever they wished to do. If they wanted to be fighters then she would brush off her skills of teaching so that they could learn how to fight. They had camped out by the creek the night before so as soon as Juniper was up and had eaten her breakfast she brought her out to a grassy patch by the water.

"Alright, my little fighter," she said with a chuckle, motioning with her paw for Juniper to take her stance in front of her. She had done some little lessons with all of her pups already of basic defenses and the like, so now they could get into some more specific things. "What do you want to work on today, hm? Attacks? Blocking? Dodges?" She still wanted this to be fun for her so she let Juniper set the pace and decide what they worked on.
