Sage knew next to nothing about fighting. The little she had seen had been during the war, and several times while traveling with Juniper Peace. She had never dreamed she would have to resort to violence, but now Sage needed to be smarter. She would need to be able to protect herself, even if her muscles were not yet strong.
Large chocolate ears sat alert on her head, and her eyes watched the golden man as he moved and spoke. Spreading her hands out, she looked down at her dull claws. They would do little damage. Her teeth might, but she did not want to taste blood. Fighting like the jays did sounded better.
Sage listened and followed along, nodding and trying to position herself in something of a bird-like pose.She probably looked quite silly, but she was trying. And then, he was coming at her. She thought she'd been paying attention! Yellow eyes widened and she leaned back, taking a quick leap backwards and lowering herself to the ground. How would she ever learn this unpredictable dance?
The earth child looked up at Ezekiel, expression nearly apologetic for her erratic movements. She really didn't know what she was doing.
