[ti]CLOSED[/ti]I'll Fight You fr fr

To be quite honest, Kanya was a little confused about today's plans. Over the last few blinks, the youngster had received quality care with Rith'r Flik Clan. She'd been fed, watered, sheltered, and scolded into (kind of) behaving herself countless times. But the battle training that she'd been promised in the beginning by Li'Aba had fallen quite flat. Sure, the grey pup had been passed around to a couple of different mentors, but it was all only temporary. For the most part, she'd been left to her own devices and allowed to tag along whenever she was curious enough to join someone else's parade. Kanya hadn't really minded. She had just chalked it up as, well, everyone knew that she was already a skilled fighter. She didn't need the extra support.

So when the chief had announced that they were going out today for some real, structured battle training, Kanya was surprised. She'd given a brash, unhelpful "why" and gotten a charming "because I said so" or something like that. The details were fuzzy. Anyway, the grey pup stood here now, facing Mouse in the middle of the big metal path, entirely at ease in this place. She'd never in her life seen a moving train. (That she knew of, anyway) There was nothing to fear.

"Oh yeah, I've done lots of fighting. I even fought zelfa one time." Kanya answered the chief boldly, puffing out her chest in a proud way. It was true. Kind of. She'd defended herself against many wild beasts out there in the forest. But her pride faltered slightly when Mouse braced herself and challenged the younger canna. The teasing tone was lost on the pup, and along with it her cue that she should be bantering back, building up rapport before they started their tussle. There was a brief moment where the cadet twitched as if she were going to back away, but she shook that look away and gritted her teeth, lifted her muzzle proudly, and then...

"GRAAAAH!" Kanya shouted, performing a mock charge at the golden mixed breed. Mouth open, teeth bared, growls rumbling, she stood up on her hind legs like a haru and slammed her paws down within inches of her chief - An instinctive, probably silly looking move intended to intimidate the other dog into losing that smug smile. It worked on Kah'rayli and Yowie and sometimes even Zelfa. Maybe it would startle Mouse too. And then Kanya would push her right over!
