Nayru smirked at the girl's hesitance, though she was glad that Eclipse showed such good sense. Conor and Bris both had been level headed beings and their daughter had inherited that it seemed. In that split second Nayru realized how little she thought of the girl's parents, and felt a twinge of guilt. They had both given her so much, and rarely did their faces come to mind. Yet Nayru knew it was best to leave ghosts in the past, and as much as she had loved them that was all they could be. Simply she had to focus on caring for Ichika as Conor had cared for Dahlia, and caring for Eclipse as Bris might have done. But then, Bris had left her child at one point, and Conor had left Dahlia. A bitterness washed over her that she did not allow to stick. Those unhappy truths too were in the past. All the piebald lady could do was vow to follow neither of those paths. Crimson eyes sparkled as she nodded to the younger girl. Even if the creature was a challenge, it was one that together they could conquer. The animals was slow, if well guarded. Alternating between keeping her eyes on the animal, and making eye contact with Eclipse she bagan to dance around the animal, springing here and there, towards and away from the quilled creature. Now and then she snapped at the thing, though inches away and the animal responded with angry grunts. The porcupine was getting riled up and began to waddle faster, trying to steer away from the pair of canines. Nayru knew that parts of the animal were softer than the rest, and they only need expose the underside of the thing. Nayru continued springing here and there, like a cat leaping in play, and hoping that Eclipse would catch on to her plan of throwing the animal off balance.
