So sorry for the wait! -_- WC:: 422 ::


Fear was something both Palaydrian and Fayne had to fight to overcome. It would be tough, but by the end of the trip, the woman was determined to squash out the poisonous emotion and put her doubts behind her once and for all. She need to be ready for a next time, if a next time would come that is, but more importantly, the woman just wanted peace of mind. Drin needed to know she could defend herself if it came down to her being attacked once more or having to fight for her loved ones. She was sick of being the invalid in the pack while she had been healing, and she was sick of feeling that way now. The men couldn’t always be the only ones to drive the fangs and claws behind New Dawn. The women needed to be a force to be reckoned with as well, and Drin had been so thankful that Fayne had agreed to come along. They both were petite wolves, but they were both very capable of holding their own, and this trip was meant to prove that intuition.


Drin felt Fayne’s hands move away from her arm as the silver fae adjusted to their new surroundings. So far so good... she thought to herself as Adelle addressed another unknown face. Drin curtsied with fake skirts as she had seen some of the female knights do when their trainer introduced them. She might as well get used to their customs here while she stayed a few nights. Her ocean eyes turned back to the black and gold dog as she explained the importance of fighting stances. Drin hungrily absorbed the knowledge offered and began to mimic what Adelle had showed them. She bent her knees, spread her feet apart, and straightened her back as though she were getting ready to sit down. The position felt awkward at first, but once she really allowed herself to get into the squat, something about it started to feel natural.


She smiled and allowed Adelle to adjust her position and help her out with her arms which she had clumsily held out in front of her. Drin allowed them to be bent at the elbows and relaxed. She imagined she looked like one of the praying mantises that frequented her garden back home and couldn’t help but giggle. Like this she asked? She asked as she naturally balled her hands into fists floating above her chest and chin.
