Come Gather 'Round People

As everyone is paired off and instructed to think about how they would attack, Andy takes a moment to watch them all spread out. She then turns her attention to her partner and listens as Caladia speaks of where she would strike. Nodding encouragingly to the girl, she then excuses herself so that she can go watch and listen to the other groups. Coming to hover close to where Elowen and Bramble are, she nods in approval at both of their assessments before saying, “Those are both great options guys!”

With a smile, she moves on to Vendrick and Nelu where she pauses to watch and listen. With a warm smile, she nods her approval to the pair and offers similar words before moving on. Finally, she comes to a stop near Ember and Solaire and finds that she is just in time to watch their antics. With a bright laugh, she beckons the others to stop and watch the pair as she says, “Okay that is good! Everyone notice how Ember dove underneath Sol? That is a good strategy if you can get in and out safely. Otherwise…”

Andy gestures at the pinned Ember and stifles another laugh at the pup’s continued squirming. Once everyone has taken note of the pin, the girl motions for Sol to get off his sibling before she turns to look at the others and says, “Okay! Now that you all have an idea of a place that you would attack, I want everyone to try it out like Ember and Sol just did. So, pick who goes first and who goes second. Then, you both will all get ready for an incoming attack and finally, try a gentle attack! Easy right?”

The girl pauses for dramatic emphasis before adding, “One last thing! I want you all to pick a different spot than what you originally talked about to attack! Now, have fun and don’t make me have to send any of you to the healers. Okay?” A grin tugs at her lips as she looks to each group, curious how they will attack if they cannot use their first option. With that she moves back to where is Callie and quickly sets her defenses before nodding her readiness to the girl.

Andy waits for her partner to signal that she is ready before she shifts forward in a quick attempt to poke the side of Callie’s neck with her nose.
