Let's do it!

The excitement her cousin had was infectious. Elowen beamed, her tail wagging back and forth behind her as her cousin said that her uncle had been showing Ember and her siblings some things. It was new, but that was okay. Apparently Ember was doing really well. “Prodigy. It means you have natural skill in fighting. That’s so awesome!” And beneficial for the help that El sought. Her cousin wouldn’t make things easy for her and that was just what Elowen had hoped for. Mimicking her cousin, she slipped into a fighting pose, widening her stance and splaying her digits as the rest of her defenses fell into place. El was pretty confident in her starting pose, it was just everything that followed that seemed… weird. But a protector needed to know how to fight, just in case!

Ah, but her cousin brought up a good point. Pinning her with their size difference would be harder. Thankfully Ember had a suggestion that worked, and Elowen gave a nod. “That works! First to pin or tickle their opponent into submission will be the winner!” That meant their approach was going to be different, and that Ember would need to try and get close to her belly. El tipped her chin toward her chest. Alright, then she just had to make sure Ember couldn’t get under her!

“Go!” Elown barked, kicking against the ground in an attempt to close the distance between them. Her path was direct, and once closer to her cousin she lifted her right foreleg and hopped against the ground as she tried to wrap it around her cousin’s back at her shoulders so she could work on bringing her to the ground. Couldn’t pin someone if you weren’t over them!
