Instead of barreling towards her with reckless abandon as he usually did, Nightjar crouched defensively, allowing Fin to make the first move.  It was quite un-Ninja like, but that made it all the more impressive.  He was certainly growing as a fighter and learning more and more along the way.  Fin's heart swelled with pride for a moment, though it was hardly her doing alone.  She knew well that Nightjar picked fights with just about everyone he could find and she was not the only warrior amongst them.

Deciding it might be fun to try one of Nightjar's own moves on him, Fin sprang suddenly forward at the boy, taking a far more direct approach than she usually did in hopes of surprising him.  All she needed was a moment of hesitation and she could snatch him up by the scruff of his neck and try to drag him down that way.
