The Sunspire Even flowers have their dangers

perhaps someone will help her to brush up on her skills?

Something was becoming increasingly clear to Vienna; since leaving home, she had gotten seriously behind in her self defense training. The last two fights she had taken part in had ended up with her on the losing end, a fact that was completely unacceptable to her.

Focused, Vienna growled, eyes narrowed and trained on her target. Slowly she circled around, ears back and expression intent. Pausing in stillness for a moment, she then sprang, and her jaws closed viselike around the branch that was her current sparring partner. After her teeth sank in, she leapt back lightly, then continued circling the stunted tree. In her imagination, an enemy wolf circled back, though from the outside the entire thing likely looked rather ridiculous.
