It didn't take him long to find the female wolf, but he wasn't sure yet if she was the one he was looking for or not. That is, until she looked up and seemed to take him in. He could almost feel her eyes moving over his frame, taking in his strengths and weaknesses like he was getting a pop quiz already and he hadn't even had a chance to study. She was observant but she didn't look too satisfied with the results. His nose scrunched up in distaste. He could already tell this was going to be fun....not. Her first words were that she heard him coming and he scowled back at her in response, ears flicking back before he sniffed and rolled his shoulders in a shrug as if to say "whatever." If he'd known he was supposed to show off what little he'd learned from Arace, he would have snuck up on her but since he didn't even know who he was looking for, he figured that was a moot point. But apparently she was already grading him. Fine. He'd make up for it later.

Then she started to scold him, telling him failure meant his death and he wasn't a child anymore. His lip curled slightly, eyes flashing. She told him he had to be perfect. He snorted in response, his tail flicking. No room for error? Of course he knew that. If he was going to hunt down wolves to kill, it would turn into a kill or be killed situation. He knew that when he signed up for the assassin line of work. Finally he smirked at her, one brow lifting as he moved his lips. "Aye, aye, captain." He lipped to her. Next she told him they shouldn't waste time on introductions. She confirmed that she was Ceres, the wolf he was looking for and apparently she knew his name too. Zelda must have talked to her already. Good, meant he didn't have to tell her why he sought her out.

She said she would teach him how to kill and he straightened up a little. This was what he was here for, to learn. Finally, someone who could get to the point instead of watching a pup climb a tree. She said that she was taught by an Angel, whatever that means. Sure, he'd heard the stories of the Angels and Demons and knew assassins came from that bloodline but what did that mean for him? She said that they were the best assassins before she grinned and said except for herself. His head tilted and his brow lifted again. Arrogant, are we? He snorted and rolled his eyes. "Modest, I dig it." He lipped to her, sarcasm sparkling in his eyes. Then she said that they should start by working on his stomping. He scowled again but shrugged in a "sure, whatever" kind of gesture. He thought for a moment before his lips curled in a smirk again. "Shall I tip toe next time?"
