do you want to put up a fight?

Art and Briar's wedding was soon. Avantika had been doing her absolute best not to worry about it and had even gained a little foothold: she hadn't stayed up all night for weeks now. But the nerves were creeping in again as the date approached.

She had to make sure the knights were ready, just in case something really bad happened. Her job -- their job -- was to fight and defend. For the safety of the pack, they all had to be ready.

Avantika called out for anyone who cared to have a good spar and then stretched a little and sat quietly in the center of the training grounds, waiting.
