Coming Together (Tortuga Event)

Qanik would return his greeting in kind, and the brute felt a surge of happiness at seeing her. She was a member of the pack he had a lot of trust in. They would wait a while longer... But no more would come. Ritsuka would glance around, frowning as he saw that Blizzard had not appeared. Where was she? A bit of worry would rise in his chest. A soft sigh would leave him, emerald orbs would shift back to their white furred beta.
As her gaze met his own he would give a silent nod. He remembered that all too well. The pack was growing... But there would be no point to it if they did not work together as a unit. Fighting training was also necessary... And Ritsuka agreed with that wholeheartedly. It was one thing to not care for battle... But should a war suddenly spark or something they would need to be ready. The skills were certainly something he planned to practice outside of these lessons. With Blizzard hopefully... And Gossamir too when she was feeling better.
Quitely Ritsuka would listen to Qanik as she demonstrated. Distributing weight, protecting the neck, tail positions... All such things he was familiar with. He wasn?t by any means an expert fighter... But his own father had started teaching him such defenses when he was young. Then they would be paired up, Ritsuka being surprised at being paired with the shy fae, Misha. He would give a quiet nod to Qanik and then move off to the side before looking to Misha.
?You are welcome to try the first attack if you want, Misha. Don?t worry... I?m not going to do anything serious towards you. As Qanik said this is all for practice.? That said Ritsuka would begin to set up defenses, hoping that the girl would be able to bring herself to do this.
Paws would spread apart, weight distributing evenly between them as he bent his knees slightly. His digits would spread as well, gripping the dirt beneath them as he prepared for the need to make a counter. He would lower his head, aligning it with the spin as he tipped his chin forward to give added protection to his neck. Shoulders rolled forward and he would scrunch his neck slightly, aiming to protect those areas some more. Hackles would instinctively raise as ears pinned and orbs narrowed. Finally, as a last defense he would tuck his tail, ready for what may come his way.
