Kreft would be walking with a purpose, his paws leaving impressions in the earth. Those pups Arian had were useless, they couldn’t do anything by themselves and Kreft realized that they were still young but there was no use in harboring a bunch of dead weights. Kreft decided to stop by the side of the lake, he settled himself down facing away from the pool of water. In a sitting position Kreft would let out a howl that conveyed “pups here now” there would be no excuses for missing this, learning how to fight even the basics was a skill that everyone should know. OOC: round ends on the 18th ""

At the first pitch sent into the air, Juniper was off. Paws skimming over the earth as she bounded through the trees and leapt over small dips in the ground. New territory and new opportunities, something the girl had been waiting for ages. Jaws held tightly onto her stick, Phil having made the journey to their new home as well. There was no way the girl could leave him behind, he was her buddy. Quickly she would spot Kreft up ahead, the girls steps slowing down till she was walking up and sitting ahead of him a few feet on the shore. Phil would be placed gently on the ground and she would grin, panting lightly. "Present!"

Cedric would hear the call made by Kreft, he would walk to the place where the call came from. He didn’t exactly like the idea of moving to a new territory, there were too many bad and new things. It also was hot too hot, Cedric had grown used to the cold and didn’t like the sudden change. Once he arrived at the meeting place, he stiffened there was water here he hadn’t learned how to swim yet. What if one of his siblings pushed him in or Kreft dropped him in there. There were too many things that could go wrong here. He would stare at the water in fright, this was not a good place to be.

Of course Rivaxorus would take his time heeding to the call of Kreft. The man was no fun, most of the time he just ruined the party. Riv had been spending a lot of time with mom, he even helped on a patrol! He wanted Juniper to come with him, but it seemed like when he was with mom Juniper was with dad. Which was okay, it made him feel better about where his siblings would be at that place and time. As the pup hopped in front of Cedric he'd nudge his brother a little not enough to push him but to catch his attention. "Everything will be fine Cedric, think of new things as to way to get stronger. That way you won't have to worry as much." his tail wagged a little bit as he came to step beside Juniper. Rubbing a bit against her happily. Then.... there was Kreft. Riv would raise his two different colored eyes, and his smile wiped away to a scowl that almost matched Kreft's.

"Anata wa tashika ni ōku no watashiniha senshi yori mo meinu no yō ni miemasu"(you certainly look more like a bitch than a warrior to me) Rivaxorus would say in japanese, knowing that only his siblings would understood what he said. Most certainly he'd hope they wouldn't rat him out either. If mother or father caught his nasty word they would scold him. However if Kreft was going to be grumpy Riv would be to. They were the sons and daughters of Arian and Cypress Arian was their president therefore he should have known at least to show slightly more respect.

She was at it again, collecting some herbs before storing them away in a nook beneath a large pine tree. But it wasn't big enough for everything that she wanted! It was much too small...as she put away her recent catch, ears peeled back as she heard the howl of an unfamiliar. Well, ok he was kind of familiar but not really, all she knew him as was the grumpy man who stayed in his den alot. Or at least, she assumed it because she never really saw him around. She debated on heeding the call, or going back to find more herbs, but in the end, she decided to show up. Trotting over to the location, the scents of some of her siblings hit her, tail wagging as she strode into the clearing. That is, until she heard what Riv said. "Rivaxorous! That's not very nice." She whispered to him so that Kreft wouldn't hear, though she wouldn't say anything further. She nudged him playfully as she walked past, going over to Cedric and Juniper as she nipped at each of them playfully before settling down between them. Staring at Kreft, her brow rose as she looked at him with an unwavering gaze. "Well, we're all here. Our sister is a little sick right now, so she won't be coming." "Speak"

She knew there would be training today, and as Beta the woman would oversee the training for the kids. Damned would she be if that man went too hard on them, she wouldn't be pleased if he did. Head held high, she slipped away from the borders and headed to the location where training would be held. As she walked down the slope towards the lake, she saw Holly shooting past her to join her siblings in the training, and she herself would see Kreft sitting before them all with an unamused expression. She rolled her eyes, if he didn't like kids then why did he bother trying to train them? He seemed to be a strange man, keeping to himself too much and she saw very little of him except for meetings. As she neared the group, she walked towards Kreft as she stopped before him. "Good day, Kreft. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to watch today's session. Good luck." Her voice was cheery when she spoke, and then she went to sit a little ways behind Kreft to watch how he handled the kids and to see his enthusiasm, if any, in training them. "Talk" "You" Think

Four of the pups had appeared, the last one that arrived said that the other one wouldn’t be coming since they were sick. Kreft had his opinions about that but he wouldn’t voice them aloud. One of the pups had a stick with them, Kreft would glance at it but dismiss it as a thing that normal pups did. Avalon had also come to observe his training session, she wished him good luck and he was glad for that he would certainly need it. He would stand up to address the pups, “I’m here to teach you how to fight, I won’t be teaching you direct fighting techniques yet but how to defend yourselves” He would wait for a couple seconds before speaking again “The first defenses I will teach you are to spread your legs apart and equally spread your weight between all four of them.” He would demonstrate this for the pups to do the same. OOC: next round is due by the 25th ""

Cedric came in after, followed by Riv. Ever since that day he had taken her beneath the ship to find the crystals she found herself seeking him more often, getting butterflies in her stomach when he was around and feel more brave. Her paws would knead the ground as he approached their brother, nodding her head as he explained that this would be like a new way for them to get stronger. ”We'll help each other Ced!” She added, giving another nod of her head and an encouraging smile. Hopefully he would look forward to it like the rest of their siblings, keep his mind off the water he was frightened of. She rubbed back against her brother when he came to join her, snickering under her breath when he said something naughty that Kreft would not understand. ”Good one.” She whispered in his ear, licking his shoulder but suddenly looking up when Holly came over and told their brother that wasn't nice. Juniper would shrug her shoulders, nipping back at her sister before turning back to their teacher and waiting for the lesson to begin. She was excited and was first, surely that showed how eager she was to learn! Aunt Avalon even showed up! The young girl would wave over to the woman before turning her attention back to the man, ears perking up when he spoke. He was going to teach them how to fight but not directly, show them some basic defenses, spreading your legs and weight, then demonstrated. Excited about this, Juniper would quickly bumped her brother's shoulder and stand up. Just like Kreft had shown, she would spread her legs out, perhaps a little wider than needed which would make it a bit difficult for her to balance her weight. ”L-like this?” She asked, pulling her legs a little more in so her paws weren't sliding out from under her.

Cedric’s siblings would give him some comfort, even though he wasn’t that close to them yet he was glad they were there to help. His brother’s words were good for him, yeah he did need to get stronger he didn’t want to worry he just couldn’t help that he did. At his sister’s words he smiled, when Kreft started to speak Cedric started to pay attention. So they were called so they could learn how to fight or at least defend themselves. He didn’t want to learn how to fight, he hoped he never had to. He would spread his legs apart but he had trouble balanceing his weight he put more weight on his front paws than back so that it seemed like he was leaning forward. The boy would put a concentrated look on his face that looked more like constipation, he wanted to look like he was really trying and he was but the others didn’t know that so he had to make it obvious.
