Phoenix Maplewood good people now

She started laughing. Esaro didn't remember saying any kind of joke. He only asked if she could teach him how to fight. Why did he ask her to teach him in the first place, he didn't know. He kind of expected her to just throw it aside or ignore him. He was just about to give up on the idea until he realized she didn't even answer his question. He just blinked at her as she turned to leave again. Where was the answer? Something continue to push him to act. He felt like this was the only way.

Determined, Esaro quickly walked pass her to stand in her way. If he understood this correctly Tavi was the best choice he just couldn't let her go, not until she gave a clear answer. He really needed someone to teach him, it's not possible to learn to fight on his own. He has already gotten a good taste of how cruel the world was. In this world fighting felt necessary because not everyone wants to be friends. If he can't be friends with everyone then he would need the power to protect the whole pack.

It was only after he stepped in front of her that he realized the truth of what she was doing. "I'm serious Tavi, and I also understand what you are really doing now." He paused as he tried putting words together in his mind. "You are showing me how cruel the real world is aren't you. How unforgiving it is. You're showing me how it all really works right?" He took a moment to catch his breath. "You are already teaching something important, something I should have learned long ago. So maybe I'm being selfish now, but I really want to continue what you are doing to me and then maybe you could also teach me how to fight. I hope that's not asking for too much." He faded to silence at the end. After saying all that he was starting to feel grateful for all she's done for him.
