''Cause you were all yellow

Voltage would chuckle softly as she exclaimed her love for her tail, and he couldn't help but grin. She was quite the innocent little thing, wasn't she? He almost felt bad teaching her such an art, but if it meant keeping such purity alive and well. Besides, he was having fun. He would beam as she said she enjoyed healing and was rather good at it. "Perfect! With a healer's knowledge and a fighter's bite you have an advantage over those that don't know what lie beneath the skin. It's a great thing, to know both sides, because as a healer you will better know how to handle a battle wound, and as a fighter you'll know how to inflict one." He said with a grin, nodding his head. "You have quite the head on your shoulders, young one. Keep working that brain out, and you'll be the smartest thing in all the land by the time you're my age." He said then before clearing his throat as she slipped the defenses he just explained into her stance. Pride washed over him as he analyzed her stance and couldn't see much wrong. "Well, highground can be great in wars or raids, when you need to surprise your opponent. But most spars are right in the thick of it, and for smaller wolves getting low can allow you more power in your legs, and to get under certain defenses to reach those vitals. It is an advantage to be smaller, because you are quicker and can get to better places. It depends on the fight and the fighter, really." He didn't want to lead her down the wrong path, didn't want her to always go for the lowground and get squashed. But she was flighty. "Use your speed, it will be your best friend. Work on your agility over your power and you'll bite them and get away before they even know what you're doing." He said with a laugh before he took a step towards her. He lowered his head to look her in the eye, smiling softly. "Now, the small details. To protect those pretty eyes of yours you're going to want to narrow them. This will help you see better as well if there's dust kicked up in the air. Curl your lips to create loose skin along your face to protect the rest of it. Your ears should always be pressed against your skull, to keep them from getting bitten as well! Then your hackles and your fur should be on end. You will want to be poofy, so someone has to get through all the fur and possibly miss your skin." He hummed then, thinking. "Just go through the song! Head and shoulders, knees and toes. Eyes, ears, mouth and....fur." He laughed then, grinning brightly. Oh this was fun! He hadn't been a teacher in quiet some time. "Burn Baby Burn" |
