Grezig nodded, happy that Elixir seemed so excited by this. “Okay. Some basics, first, though. Always keep your ears back, though with you, I do not see how that would be possible. Keep your tail tucked between your legs so your opponent cannot grab at it. Aggressive posturing to show that you are dominant is different. That is when the tail goes up over your back. But during an actual fight, you want your tail tucked to keep it safe.” She paused, trying to think of anything else. “Keep your chin down to protect your throat, and try to keep your body low so you cannot be knocked over as easily.”
