Nah, I don't mind at all. :-)

It did not take much persuasion to get Junior to show off her “moves” to him and the Viking was pleased with her eagerness to learn and to show off. Ragnar studied her form as she took to position, noting the tuck of her muzzle down to protect her throat, the Jarl instinctively mimicking the action himself. "Good, good," Ragnar told her glad to see that her stance was of an extremely well form and he suspected with the proper training she would make a formable shield maiden on the battlefield. Formable and legendary if she was persistent enough to pursue it. She launched for him, and he side stepped her quickly, anticipating it from the quiver of her muscles. Ragnar had always been swift and tended to use it to his advantage. Junior’s teeth made contact with empty air instead of finding the purchase on his leg. He heard her snort and watched as the child backpedaled taking the opportunity to shove in a piece of advice for her, "You must watch the movements of your opponent, Junior, battle is fast you will have seconds to observe and make a move," her second attack at his same leg found it’s mark because he had sacrificed his chance to dodge her again by speaking, his attention not as focused on her as it should have been if it had been a real battle. The Viking didn’t even wince when her teeth made contact with his skin, her grip upon his leg firm. That was not to say that her attack didn’t pack a small punch to it but he was much more susceptible to pain than most and did not play into it even without the Berserker mushrooms to block it. "Second lesson: don’t let them distract you," He smirked coyly down at her and attempted to extract his leg from her grip. "If you’re distracted you aren’t paying as much attention," He studied her for a moment then and inquired, "Have you learned about feinting yet?" Feints went hand in hand with observing because they were useful for throwing an enemy off by poising your body one way but attacking in a different direction instead.
