[Oh yay! Eh? Her ears flick and she visibly perks at the name. Yes, that would be her.]
willnotdespair: (pic#3330379)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-09 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos smiles brightly when he notices her perk. So he got it right, yay! ]

It's nice to meet you, Ammy! I'm Mithos.
motherofthesun: (Just a white wolf)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-09 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Arf!

[Mithos! She can remember that name too. She raises her paw, wondering if he wants to shake.]
willnotdespair: (❖: We'll be able to Combine)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-09 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos blinks for a moment before taking her paw and shaking it lightly. He doesn't mind shaking at all Ammy! ]

motherofthesun: (Just a white wolf)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-09 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, we didn't have to shake, but okay! Shaking and then more staring. She looks at him, then the sword, and finally, the training dummy.]
willnotdespair: (❖: The power of Words)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-09 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos watches Ammy as her gazes goes from the sword to the training dummy. Looking at the dummy himself he thinks for a moment before turning his attention back to her. ]

Do you want to watch me train?
motherofthesun: (White-Light Majesty)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-09 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stands up and nods. Yes, she very much would.]
willnotdespair: Indescribable (❖: From days gone by)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-09 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos smiles before picking up the sword once more and standing up. ]

All right.

[ With that he turns around and faces the dummy. He takes the next moment to think of how to attack the dummy. Once he figures out a tactic to practice on he positions himself accordingly. After a small pause he runs at the dummy and look like he's to swing the sword. However, right before reaching the dummy he moves around the dummy in a way so he can attack the back of the dummy rather than the front. He remembers being taught this by Kratos not long ago and it was something that he needed to work on more.

Once attacking the back of the dummy he jumped back to see the damage. Mnn... could be better. ]
motherofthesun: (Wolf: Attentive)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-09 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Amaterasu sits and watches him go in for the assault and circle around. While attacking from the back would be ideal, it's difficult. That... and sometimes, you're not fortunate enough to get an enemy with such a wide opening. Still, it was obvious he was a beginner.]
willnotdespair: Indescribable (❖: The lie known as Tenderness)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-09 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos circles back around to the front of the dummy. This time he went for a frontal attack; something that he was much more experienced at. He slashed at the dummy a few times before finishing off with a thrust which would have been a Sonic Thrust had he been back home.

Once finished he stepped back. The damage to the front of the dummy was much heavier than the back. Though, still not as heavy as if he used magic. Too bad he couldn't in this world.

Afterwards he looked back at Ammy to see what she thought. ]
motherofthesun: (Beneath the Cherry Tree)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-10 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[The wolf steps closer, examining the dummy and trotting around it in a circle. She sits, looking at the back and then rises, coming to stare at the front. Ammy glances over at Mithos, wondering if he has a constitution against attacking from behind.]

[Well, against a normal opponent this would be enough unless they were trained. Still, they're mainly fighting Kishin eggs.]
willnotdespair: (pic#2826251)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-10 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos rubs the back of his head once Ammy was done inspecting the dummy. He can guess what Ammy could be wondering considering the pretty distinctive damage differences. ]

I... haven't practiced attacking the back as much as the front. I... should work on that.

[ He hasn't fought any Kishin Eggs so he doesn't really know what to expect other than what he saw when Lloyd and Kratos fought one. He needed to be ready for anything and right now... he might as well not be. ]

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-10 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods and trots back over to sit beside him. Amaterasu huffed, tossing her head at the dummy; try again.]
willnotdespair: Indescribable (❖: The lie known as Tenderness)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-10 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos nods before turning his attention back to the dummy. Okay. Deep breath and focus. Figure out a weak point. After these considerations Mithos charged forward to attack the dummy, looping around to hit the back.

... Nope. Still not good enough.

He goes back to the front of the dummy and positions himself again. He does this a few more times before dealing an impact on the dummy that was better than the tries before. It was... an improvement.

A small sigh escapes him before looking at Ammy. Does she want him to try it a few more times or... ]
motherofthesun: (Brush Gods)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-10 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Ammy approached the dummy, walking around it. Dirtying her paws, she rose and marked potential weak points checking and then barked. Come look.]
willnotdespair: (❖: The power of Words)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-10 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Watching Ammy as she did her work and walked over when she had barked. Mithos then proceeds to look at the dummy's back noticing the spots that she had marked. ]

These are weak spots, right? Do you want me to try to hit them?
motherofthesun: (Jubilant)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-10 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ruf!

[Yes, that's right. She moves back.]
willnotdespair: (pic#3095653)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-10 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos studies the back of the dummy before moving to the front. He took a moment to picture where the marks are before proceeding to attack the dummy again. Once again he does a few rounds, taking a brief look at the dummy after each attempt to see how closer he's gotten to hitting the weak points.

Finally he steps further back and takes a look at the overall progress. He's been able to hit one weak spot fairly well, but the others need to be worked on. ]
motherofthesun: (Wolf: I'm still here)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-10 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Amaterasu observed, walking around the dummy when he's done again. Yes, he's starting to get it, but it will take more work. After a once around, she sat down and looked over at Mithos. Perhaps he should take a moment before continuing.]
willnotdespair: Peaceful (❖: When the Leaves Fall)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-10 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He took a few deeps breaths to steady his breathing from the light panting as she walked around the dummy. While continuing wouldn't be a problem Mithos knew that pushing yourself wasn't a wise idea. Taking her advice he lowers the practice sword and walks over to Ammy before sitting down beside her. He takes another deep breath. ]

Thanks for the help, Ammy. I... still have a long ways to go but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.
motherofthesun: (Jubilant)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-05-10 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her tail flops against the ground lazily and she gives him a grin. He is most welcome.]
willnotdespair: Nostalgic (❖: Innocent Prayers)

[personal profile] willnotdespair 2012-05-10 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mithos smiles back and gives her a few pats. This was sort of like when he would take breaks with Noishe after training with Kratos. Except Ammy is both resting with him and helping him.

Maybe once he gets the hang of this he'll show Kratos how much he's improved. Yeah. Sounds good. ]
