Neverwinter Forest reeling again

yep! thank you for another awesome thread <3

Orochi's confidence was reassuring. Hide puffed out his chest - of course he'd be one of the best fighters anyone had ever seen. He had a great teacher, after all, and he was determined. And it was no trouble for Orochi, which... well, it felt like that was a big deal. 

"T'ank oo," he responded, bumping his flank against Orochi's own. He could imagine they were both covered in mud, but that was certainly fixable. 

He wouldn't say much else at the moment, but he hoped his gratitude would be expressed more later, through carefully picking mud out of his companion's fur and making sure he was as clean as possible under the circumstances. Maybe they could find a stream to clean off in or something. 

They'd have to get used to that, if these training sessions were going to be a daily thing.
