"I will not play with sharp objects"

As was maybe expected of her, Ash settled in and kept silent as her brother started their intro, and soon Dusk would take her own stand. Ash's heart ached just a little, more because it was a situation she wouldn't want to be in even as an adult. But Dusk did incredibly well she thought. As much as she wasn't entirely personable with her young nieces and nephews, she was proud of her. Maybe at least her own siblings could see that had they looked at her.

She wasn't much a fighter herself as was her history. She of course wanted to tune in more for self defense especially if she planned on leaving the pack lands anytime soon. A big jump for her, and a far stretch in time she thought. Still she took Dusk's words to heart. She wasn't a tiny reckless pup but the lesson meant something. "I think those are valuable words for this lesson, Dusk." Was all she managed to respond with really. Hopefully something to boost her niece's spirit.
