Redhawk Caldera shout! for my love

Elwood took a few steps back as Towhee readied herself. He lowered himself slightly, his stance defensive with his shoulder turned out toward her. Although she was small and this was her very first practice, he kept his gaze trained on her as she coordinated her approach. He wanted to be able to show her properly how to deflect another wolf's attack.

She leaped towards him and made a sudden movement towards his left leg. He was able to withdraw quickly, pivoting to give his flank the brunt of what would have been his attacker's offensive maneuver. Because of his size advantage over her, he was able to move away swiftly. He straightened up and grinned. "Good job! Did you see how I turned away from you?" he said. He hadn't exactly "blocked" her, but he had prevented her from sinking her teeth into his foreleg. He hoped that she would understand his intentions.

He wanted to explain more, but for fear of being too wordy, he bit his lip and waited to see what Towhee had to say.
