TELL ME LIKE IT IS

Gilgamesh gives Lyra time to process and consider the lesson he's presented to her. At first she seems stumped by the question given to her, but after a moment, her own questions arise. He nods slowly to show that he understands where she's going with the line of thought.

"If you are fast enough to not be touched, but can also pack a punch, you'll be invincible," Gilgamesh states, once more lifting his paw to move it back and forth on either side of the pup. "Practice is how you get faster. Run every day until you can't. Work your paws through the mud. Try to climb a tree. Climb a rocky hill. Tiring out your opponent is one smart way of doing it," he begins to move his paw slower and slower to motion how much more quickly a bigger object could tire compared to her. "If they grab you, bite them back. You have teeth, use them," his lips lift to bare his fangs, showing her how fierce they could appear if he wished. "Show me how fast you can run between my paws," Gilgamesh directs her, leaning his back and widening his paws as far as they can go to give her space.
