Blackwater Islands sister, even though she is your enemy

It seems that Kalika had close to no qualms about her speaking abilities – she just wanted the instruction to do it better. Though Indie truly doubted that she was underestimating the cocksure girl, Indie nodded her head and determined another test was in order. It was role playing of sorts, for it was easy to be over confident when the lesson had been entirely composed of speculation. Kalika needed something to ground her in the reality of abilities and to determine when she was starting from – so they could then track her growth.
 
“Alright then,”  Indie started, seemingly conceding to Kalika’s assertion of her underestimation. In one fluid movement, Indie rose to stand upon all four of her strong legs and moved to face the pale girl. “Stand opposite me and tell me everything you know about…”  for a moment Indie paused and rooted around in her mind for a topic that Kalika would know relatively nothing about. Indie wished to see Kalika’s ability to speak eloquently and confidently even about a topic about which she knew nothing . The “fake it ‘til you make it” mentality was lost on some, and Indie hoped that she would not have to spend the time imbuing her student with this rudimentary rhetorical tactic.

Hmmm. What did Kalika seem to know a lot about? The ocean. What was the opposite of an ocean? A place completely devoid of water – deserts. Indie made up her mind. “Deserts.” Indie said and then shrugged her tall shoulders, as if knowledge of the arid landscape was common knowledge for all wolves.
