Moonspear sunshine through the rain and snow

A single ear flicked in the direction of Hydra as she spoke, her response brought a smile to the lips of the dark woman when she was reassured that none had tresspassed on these lands since her joining. She hoped that their increasing numbers would continue to keep others at bay--if not, she was sure their well marked borders would make someone think twice. "I'm glad to hear that our reputation precede's us" she said, another smile found itself along her lips and she grew quiet, walking in deep thought alongside the larger woman. She thought of her position in the pack, whether she could truly make a impact to those around her and how far she could grow as a member of the community. 

Hydra's response snapped her back to reality, the woman gave her an option of starting her lessons now or waiting another day and Katya contemplated her options in silence. She knew that refusing the lesson another day would expose to Hydra how unenthusiastic she was at the idea of sparing, and could make her seem useless to the pack. She also knew that rushing head first into the activity would leave her open to scrutiny--she would take her chances with the latter. "I can start now." she said, her response dry, small and lacking confidence. She only hoped the dark and imposing woman would take it easy on her.
