Alyssum wanted to frown even further when he quickly went on the defensive, finding his lack of offense to be appallingly pitiful. But, her face remained pouty until Hadley seemed to accept her offer after being overwhelming, and her expression became friendly again, with added excitement and eagerness. Though, it did have the slightest hint of smug victory, which could have been interpreted any other way that expressed happiness. “Let’s do it outside, then—we don’t want to be knocking into anything on accident, just in case,” she chirped, and stepped out of the barn, though she made sure that Hadley was close behind her before walking too far.

When she made it a good distance away from the building, she turned to the man, her arms now resting against her side though they were tense. “Now, I want you to come at me, in any way you think an enemy would attack you,” Alyssum stated, and added, “and, don’t worry about getting hurt, Hadley. This is just practice, no roughhousing, since you’re learning something new.” Despite her earlier action, she sincerely did not want to injury the man or to scare him, though she was intent on helping him and showing him the reality of a real fight seemed to be the only way to convince him.

She shifted her feet a bit to a stronger stance, though her hands remained at her side, and nodded to show that she was ready whenever he was, this time not pressuring the man. Teaching required to go at the student’s pace if the learning was going to be successful, and she thankfully had patience when it came to teaching others.
