Why give up, why give in?

Atreyu smiled at the news that he was doing well. She was doing alright she supposed, aside from her still-missing family and pack. That smile grew as he continued, asking to see what she had. There wasn't much she had learned, having only a few weeks to train before the demon king ransacked her home. But, she had learned a lot while being here. "Okay, if you really want it." She watched as his defenses fluidly fell into place with a grin, her own stance didn't change much. She took her time, building anticipation.

Suddenly, she was a flurry of motion, coming at him head-on with a playful batting of her right paw aimed at his nose. There was no need to truly hurt him, but had her claws been out the wound she could have inflicted would be devastating. She would keep them sheathed for him, he was a friend. Hell, if he had wanted her hurt he would have done so the first time they met. He didn't seem like the type to hold back. She hoped to surprise him, to catch him off guard with her suddenness. Meanwhile, Bigs barked excitedly and ran around the two much larger canines, knowing he didn't have to truly protect her from Eltrys.
