Shadewood we’ll go away when you let yourself grieve

issun had to stifle an amused chuckle when she ran toward him like a newborn fawn. he wouldn’t try to counter attack or dodge, this was just to see how much she knew, so he braced himself for the blows. one paw pushed his muzzle towards the earth, while the other came down on his neck. when she pulled back he shook the dirt from his fur.

“not bad, but you got a ways to go.” he circled around her and sat away from the water. “when you charge an opponent you must be steady. i could’ve knocked you down easily. and keep your body low and head down. expose your neck and it’s lights out.”
