How You Like Me Now

As Callie sits in the ‘viewing area’ waiting for her mother and uncle to show off the swords, the girl’s paws tippy tap the ground in anticipation. Mom speaks and she nods vigorously, mouth cracking open in a grin as her tongue pokes out the side of her mouth. Just as Fern finishes speaking, handling the session over to her uncle, a flash of fur catches her eyes and the pup looks to find her sister Elowen barreling down on the pair. As her mismatched eyes widen in surprise, she also happens to notice that her aunt hanging on the outskirts of the area.

Eyes try to catch Tika’s as she offers a smile and wave, the pup happily inviting the woman to join the pups in the viewing area. Elowen lurches to a stop with them and the girl shuffles to the side so that her sibling has more room to. As they all settle in, Callie leaning into her sibling’s side, Artorias speaks up and gives the lesson back to her mother which has her eyes widening in surprise. They snap back to Fern as excitement suddenly causes her body to tense. Wonder shines in her mismatched gaze as the girl feels proud to be at a lesson that her mother is giving. Ears stand straight up as she strains to listen, willing her brain to catch every word and detail while her uncle shows off the moves.
