Icarus certainly had a lot to learn in the being tough department. Of course, he was already showing signs for the build of a little tank, even if he was a bit shorter. His sister was already starting to get taller than him and they weren't even two yet for crying out loud! But, she was willing to help him learn and that was more than enough. The caramel colored boy would be better, the best, and Nymeria was the perfect one to show that he could be good at whatever he set his mind to. His Alpha had already posed him with a challenge just by lounging about.

He nodded excitedly, knowing he could be tough, and Nymeria was willing to acknowledge that all he needed was practice. It was perfect! His ears pricked up, and he made a small 'o' with his mouth, realizing he had not introduced himself properly. His mother would certainly frown upon that. "Icarus!" he replied happily with a yip as he stood beside the seated woman. Shoot, no doubt his father would have done the same. Something to the effect of being rude or something if someone was doing something for him or helping him with something.

Icarus' tail waved back and forth expectantly as she demonstrated by jumping down onto a stray stick that had found its way into the clearing. His eyes lit up as he danced on his front paws. She did it so great. He would definitely have to show her how good he could do it too. He found himself slightly confused by her statement. Did she want him to try and get her or jump right next to her and mirror her stance? "Got it," he said with a nod as Nymeria turned her head away.

Oh, she had winked! He was going to try and get her then, even if she knew he was coming. His rump waved back and forth briefly as he sprang forward aiming above his lady alpha, hoping this was exactly what he meant. Though surely she would move so he could land like she showed, right?
