your battle is my battle, we fight together

The pup greets Rhysand and the man flashes a playful smirk at the jab about coyotes. Malico dips his head as the slate and cream male thanks him for asking how he is and the boy offers a small shrug of his shoulders as if to show, it is no big deal. Honestly, it isn’t, to the pup it is polite to ask and should be part of every greeting. Quickly, Rhysand tells him why he was called here and the purple boy grins like a manic while his tail wags behind him. At the offer of training, the pup nods enthusiastically and says, “Yeah! I’d like that! You’re a great fighter and I want to be better.” His words are open ended, letting the man choose their meaning between better than he is now or better than Rhysand himself. A grin plays across his lips as he waits for the lesson to begin.
