guards of glory & of might

Though she does need to learn, Erik feels a bit guilty hearing her yelp. Right, pain is an excellent teacher and all that. He knows. Better he be doing it than some dickhead yearling that was actually trying to mess the kids up. Right. They're learning. They were all learning.

Erik is reminded at once, he is learning too. Sharp puppy teeth in his paw, a hiss of breath. As the girl fought to regain her balance, Erik pushed forward. It's his attempt to bowl the little pup over, granted she's already tucked up and hopefully prepared to land safely. The viking bastard isn't out to traumatize anyone, not today at least. Not Kina. He's careful as he spars with the girl, not wanting to cause undue harm. She's just learning. There's plenty of time for harm later.
