Moonspear little monster

Vega felt a little thrill of excitement when her mother granted her request. The Alpha female swept to her feet, cutting an impressive figure as she took a defensive stance. Momentarily, Vega was frozen in place, awestruck; but after a few heartbeats, she gave her head a little shake and returned to the present.

She noted the way Hydra's chin carefully protected her throat and her weight was evenly distributed between all four feet. She wouldn't be easy to knock off balance or catch off guard. Vega began to prowl thoughtfully around her mother, her own tail twitching to and fro as she considered her options. When she had circled her fully, she lunged forward with the intent to target Hydra's side just behind her shoulder -- fully expecting to be batted away easily, but still exhilarated by the opportunity to hone her skills.
