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

I had Grezig attempt to sort of push Elixir while she was in the fighting stance. She's not trying to knock her over, but she's checking Elixir's balance. You can choose whether or not Elixir keeps her balance.

Well, Grezig had to admit that Elixir was a fast learner. Or, at least, she was good at copying movement. Grezig didn’t think there was anything particularly difficult about getting into a fighting stance. “How’s you balance?” she asked, coming up to the wolfdog and attempting to nudge her. Not necessarily to knock her down, but to see if she was standing properly. The lowered head and tucked tail were good, but if you could be easily thrown off balance, then your stance was useless. You needed to be physically strong in this position, to hold your stance and to not let anyone knock you down or push you around.
