Northstar Vale Teaching the youngsters, and anyone else who wants to join

The encouragement coaxed her chin to tilt outwards, tail waving behind her again. It was when the next drill was explained that the smile dropped. She couldn't use her leg?! Zulema wasn't sure at all, but she listened intently. It was paying close attention or embarrassment, the girl clearly preferred one.

She watched Phox try the instructions out, seeing the words put into action spurred her to try it herself. Zulema hesitantly lifted her leg, attempting many different motions with the help of her tail. Then Phox was ready, the girl felt a faint influx of panic. She was still wobbly! Zulema recognized the intent to reach her leg, she moved back with no shortage of stumbles. Embarrasing...

While the move she put together in her head would've worked in theory, the execution of it, minus the leg did not work well. Zulema decided there was nothing to do other than get to his side, head on wasn't something she preferred. She pulled the leg Phox intended to get to further towards her, ever so slightly leaning to the side, waiting for him to move closer. Zulema finally moved, seeking out a grab to the back of his neck. It was an attempt to implement what they had previously learned. Without her back leg in order, she was simply to slow.

Surely those watching could see what the girl had attempted, but Phox had gotten to it first.

❝So close,❞ She panted, a breathy laugh following her words.
