Fortunately for him she was receptive to his straight-forward nature, quickly answering his question. So she wanted to learn about fighting. Interesting, he thought quietly to himself. While she didn't necessarily strike him as the fighting type, she didn't seem the type to run away if it came to protecting herself either. Knowing the basics was a good idea, especially given her place in the pack. He had no idea the allies or enemies the Armada might have, but it'd be better if she knew a few things to keep herself safe anyway.
"Of course," he said finally, after thinking for a few moments. "Knowing the basics is important. I'd be happy to teach you." Bronze wasn't sure how good of a teacher he'd be, but he'd certainly try. If Silent didn't get enough out of this little lesson then he'd gladly direct her to someone in the pack who had more experience than he did.
Swiveling around so he was facing her, he furrowed his brow in concentration before he spoke up again. "I think one of the most important things for you to focus on is your defenses. Especially if you won't be going around starting fights," he explained. "You always want to make sure you're in a position you have control over. Keeping your legs bent just slightly, and your center of gravity low and toward the ground is a good start." He moved to demonstrate this, feeling a bit silly for doing so without an impending fight but knowing it'd help her to see the stance and mirror it. "You'll also want to always focus on keeping your head lowered so your neck isn't exposed, and keeping your ears pinned."
