Her eyes also quickly averted to the dirt while she felt her face flush with warmth, and by happenstance she stared at the dirt in front of Kivaluk anyway, so when he said hello Tulukiri's eyes lit upon him and she gave a small smile in return.

This was news that Tulukiri had not expected. When she had been training with Kigipigak before it was a solo venture, or with every recruit at once; that he wasn't willing to train the two of them at the same time was not above his ability, and Tulukiri wanted to speak up about that — but a glance at Kivaluk made her rethink things, not that she knew why.

Nice to meet you, kid. Was her terse reply.

If I'm your tutor, I guess I gotta know - what you know. You know? A touch of her usual annoying mannerisms came out in that moment and when she recognized it of herself, Tulukiri's ears flickered. What training have you had so far?

Of course, she could go with Kigipigak's style — a brawl right off the bat, but given how the wolves of the village had treated her on arrival (and the fact she now sported a fresh wound) made Tulukiri a little leery of them all.
