Stick 'em with the pointy end

In the hustle and bustle of their busy family life, the thought of training and becoming more adept with her new weapon had slightly fallen to the wayside. Of course it was a good problem to have being so caught up in the whirl wind that was so many happy, healthy new pups running around, but when Artorias mentioned his plans for the day to her over breakfast it caught her by surprise. She grinned eagerly at the idea and agreed to come find him once he had some time to set up their training area. It gave her a reason to hurry through her morning chores and make sure all of their children were off to their own tasks and adventures for the day. It had been quite a while since she had done any proper training and as someone who was always eager to learn something new it had her trotting down toward the beach at the first opportunity she had. Training and learning a new skill and finding some rare alone time with her husband? She was practically being spoiled!

As she stepped onto the sandy beach that sat below their castle, she began to follow her husband's scent to a more secluded cove that was out of the usual line of sight and walking paths that they would usually take. The secluded nature of their temporary training ground and what that might might lead to didn't slip past her, the thought bringing a little smirk to her lips, but she was still focused on the task at hand first. She had her new dagger strapped to her foreleg and at the ready for whatever training Artorias had in mind, though she did assume he would bring something less honed and sharp to practice with first. She found him next to a few training dummies and materials a short time later and she smiled as she came over to join him, leaning in to give him a kiss. "Well, teacher, where do we start?"
