Tried and True

The one guarantee you were bound to have with a half dozen small curious puppies roaming around was that at least one of them would probably be watching you at all times. In the case of little Ember, that fact was true tenfold. The girl was as curious and fascinated by everything the adults did as she was energetic, which was to say a lot! Whenever she wasn't stalking alongside her father or mother like their personal little shadow, she was following one of her older siblings to see what they were up to. Today, Ember wasn't able to find any of them after breakfast, so the girl meandered her way out into the gardens, hoping to stumble upon someone to play with or learn something new from. As soon as the little dark ball of fluff went bouncing down the terrace steps to the garden grasses, she spotted her grandmother doing... something, and her older sister Bramble watching.

Intrigued by this unusual display, Ember approached with a cocked head as she watched Tamsyn going through her movements and poses. The little Carpathian girl plonked her rump down on the grass when Tam invited them both to watch and join her if they wanted and that was all the invitation that she needed to let loose the barrage of curiosity. "What're you doing, Gramma?" she asked along with Bramble. It looked like lots of the things her father did when he was training with her older siblings in the sparring rings, but slowed down and exaggerated. Was Granny Tammy a powerful warrior like her parents were too?
