Mount Apikuni It’ll all be alright in the end.

Elixir listened closely so she could get it right the first time. She wanted to impress Grezig, though it might take her some tries she was determined to make a good spar partner. 

Ears pinned, head down, tail tucked, chin down because of my throat.

The mental notes were adding up and taking up space in her metaphorical drawers that were in her head. The wolfdog watched and analyzed as Grezig demonstrated. It didn’t look too hard but what did Elixir know, she barely knew what a spar was before this. She was nodding frequently before Grezig had told her to try. After those words she sort of froze up for a second, Alright we can do this her conscience said. 

First she moved her body low low to the ground, as if she were hunting. Then she tucked her tail like running away scared from something. Her ears well, they felt pinned but in the outside still looked just about the same if they were relaxed. The wolfdog tucked her chin and hid her little white spot and then shifted her eyes up to Grezig. Though it felt the same as Grezig she wasn’t sure if her center of gravity was right.

”like this?” She asked seeking approval of her first try. If it wasn’t right though her dog side would take over and she would try and try again until she got it right.
