Moonspear early wonders

It was interesting enough that this business-like agile wolf who seemed interested in physically keeping herself in shape would say nothing about his leg. Maybe she'd seen one with a missing leg before, Nikai thought to himself. Seemed a good attitude to train regularly, though.

Nikai smiled as she agreed to show him something and followed as she walked to a nearby tree. He watched as she did the exercise, though it seemed like it'd be trickier for him. Balance was an issue sometimes, even though over time Nikai had learned to live with three legs pretty well. Alright, let's give it a try, Nikai said optimistically when she hopped off the tree. Nikai was pretty sure when he got there he would be alright, but getting there might be the trickiest thing.

The first time Nikai reared up he misgauged his balance and his front paws missed the tree. He caught himself on the ground and just tried again right away. This time he caught one of his paws on the tree and while the other flailed to keep his balance of the single hind leg, he managed to place it on the tree in time before he would topple over. He then stretched back a little, which he felt in his back, as he tried to mimic what she had done. Neat, he commented. Am I doing it right?
