Nelu nodded and scampered after Mercury as he headed into the courtyard. As the pup waddled after the older man he tried to remember what he knew so far. Truth be told it wasn't a lot. So when Mercury asked if he knew how to set a defensive stance he hesitated. "Not exactly, I know I want to be steady." He settled his weight evenly across his limbs, widening his stance just slightly before looking up expectantly at Mercury. He knew there was probably a lot more to setting ones defenses than this but he hoped that he was off to a good start. "Is this close?" Nelu should've paid more attention when watching his dad spar. He made a mental note to take more mental notes when watching the older wolves sparring.
