Redhawk Caldera May the force be with you

"Well, yes," Elwood agreed; she was right, a warden's main area of expertise was defense. But a warrior also needed to know how to defend oneself during battle. He opened his mouth to continue explaining, when suddenly Wildfire made her decision -- she wanted to continue playing the attacker! -- and sprang at him.

She smacked him right in the nose with her paws. "Ouch!" he laughed, instinctively stepping back and moving away from her. "I guess you don't need defense if you've got a good offense -- and the element of surprise," he joked with a fond shake of his head. "But wait, listen for a sec, okay? Sometimes, even when you're a warrior, you have to be able to defend yourself in the middle of the fight. You might not always be able to tackle the other wolf." Even if she didn't want to give it a try this time, he decided that it would be okay. Perhaps it would be better to separate her lessons, even; to let her focus on offense this time, and defense next time.

With that thought in mind, he grinned at her and said, "Now, hit me again."
