As she expected, he was willing to allow the distraction and nuisance, at least for a little while. She knew the huntsman enjoyed training the youth- he naturally excelled in the role of a mentor. Prophet had not been the only father figure in her life; she was fortunate enough to have Augur as well.
Once he uttered his compliance, she moved forward to meet him and there was a loud, dry thud as they came together. The force of Augur's body against hers sent her back a pace; he was much larger than she, and his momentum and force combined overpowered her easily. She snapped at the air; more in show than anything, as she broadened her stance, knowing she'd need every bit of stability to keep from being bowled over completely.
She decided to check his speed and agility, by diving next for his tail. She tried to imagine him as a bison; large, and topheavy. But if she could get him to cross his feet as he spun, she might have a chance at catching him off-balance- if he didn't gore her first.
