The woman was paired with a child, a young girl who couldn’t have been all that experienced in fighting. She would look to the girl, who seemed to be afraid of her. Akemi’s single orb would soften. Her soft spot for children was setting in, and despite her frustration at the current arrangements in Sonticus she could push them aside to focus on her battle with this young girl.
“That’s right sweetheart, we fight.” She’d give a nod, heading off a little bit aways from the rest of the group. Akemi would look to the little one again, a smile on her lips. Was she really so scary? Perhaps so... It was amazing her own pups had not cried at the very sight of her.
“Do you want the first move?” Akemi would ask, wanting the other to feel comfortable. She’d take it easy for the little one’s sake.
