bumps and bruises

Eden considered her words before admitting defeat. Perhaps there was no excuse. She always had others tell her she was useless as a fighter, even before Boreas... "If you have nothing to do, Pyralis" she began "when you come back from the raid" she placed her belongings to the side and focused on the Sin "I would... like you to teach me. A few defensive moves, if you like." She bowed her head, embarrassed by asking such a thing to a near stranger.

But Pyralis was no stranger. She was... a pack mate now. "My parents never tried to teach me. When I went to other lands, wolves laughed at me because of my size. They told me I was worthless, that I was always going to be weak" Eden confessed to the old woman "hardly anyone has harmed me in the past due to that; they either think there's no sport to it or just overlook me for a worthy foe" She gave a weary laugh "I've been lucky, but this place is different. I would like to at least learn how to defend myself."
