Haunted Wood that ending wasn’t worth the wait

Valour didn't reply to the quesioning, raising a brow with a slow wag of his tail and leaving Guardian to figure it out on his own. The next attack was better than the first, the young boy surged toward his shoulder a little faster than Valour anticipated and struck. The only sign of pain was a small twitching of his jaw muscles and a shift of his ears back as he lowered his head wrapping his chin over the boy's neck and tugging him forward using his own momentum. While they were pressed close Valour grabs Famine by the scruff not moving but speaking through the boy's fur "Where are your jaws? What can you reach on me?" he firmly held the boy close "Find something you think would get me to drop you and strike. don't be afraid to hurt me I promise i've felt worse" one move at a time he could at least teach the child how to handle himself in a tough scrap even if Vanity was better with actual lessons.
