Chapter 212: Distractions from Training

The sudden rush of motion before a hard thud into the practice mat, quickly jolted Tuzi from her thoughts. She was coaching the New Moon community today, on the importance of self defense. Huddled together in the training fields, men, women, and children alike gathered to watch the group run drills on how to effectively maneuver a bigger opponent in a hand to hand combat.

This portion of the training was to demonstrate how to shift the balance of a bigger opponent by using one's smaller size to tip the equilibrium of weight. Her partner in this display was Aydin. Being that he was physically the larger person between the two, it was Tuzi who was supposed to shift and slam him into the mat.

Contrary to their plans though, it was the rabbit shifter who's back side unceremoniously met the surface of the training pad. The air gushed out of her for a moment, before her hazel orbs opened to meet with Aydin's concerned eyes.
