Firestone Hot Springs Battered but not Broken

Nishu strokes her pride by telling Rain she is almost as strong as him. She snorts, "I bet I could take you." Usually she would have leaned forward to nip at his tail, but she hasn't the energy to do so now, instead she grins back at him. If they ever did spar she can't say who would surely win.

His explanation for what a Royal Knight is, confuses her further. Unable to grasp his full meaning she questions, "I can understand pledging yourself to an alpha, that is what all of us pack wolves do, but what do you mean by contract?" They soon pass under the bare branches of a forest, instantly the wind weakens it's bite. Rain slows, her need for cover fulfilled and glances through the trees, trying to remain alert. It won't be long before her legs give in again and they weren't quite out of danger.
