Make a man out of you

Alaric's attack had been successful, Atreyu had been knocked off her balance. However, the spotted wolf quickly regain her balance and got to her feet. Alaric would not attack again and stepped back. He nodded towards her. "A good counter." He rumbled, a smile appearing on his maws. "We can stop here, allow Maul and Cinder to wrap things up with their lesson." He told her, giving her plenty time to respond. "We can continue in our next session." He told her. He felt like they covered a lot of grounds in this lesson. "Next lesson will be strictly offensive." He told her.

Maul would shift his gaze to Cinder and then fall silent. The cane corso seemed to be in deep thought. He motioned Cinder back into his back and placed his paws once more on the chest of the other dog. Cinder began to kick with his back legs and wiggle intensely, wiggling his body side to side as he kicked with his back legs. Cinder also leaned forwards and tried to bite at the forearm of the leg. The commotion was enough to break free. Once Cinder was freed, Maul stepped back and glanced at the little dog. 'Got it?' He seemed to ask as he tilted his head.
