Redhawk Caldera There's a shining in the shadows

When Killdeer cried out, Fennec did let him go. She wasn't about to let the opportunity for a lesson go by, though. If you come in too fast, especially against someone bigger, you give an opening for them. You should circle and find out as much as you can. Always protect yourself first. She instructed all of them, but gave Killdeer a soft (and intended to be encouraging) nudge, potentially to help him to his feet.

Like this. She took a step back, then began to prowl, ears and unseeing eyes both focused in on some unknown assailant. Either wait until they make a mistake, or get in and get out fast.

She lunged forward, snapping at air, before dancing back as quickly as she could. In a pack you could be bold, but she was going to teach them to defend themselves alone. She wouldn't have Killdeer rushing in like that, not when real danger was around.

She listened to see if he'd mirror her and try it, or if he'd checked out of the lesson for today in his brief defeat.
