Morgan had everything set up beforehand, all of the items required all out, the box of treats in their hand and shredded, all of the toys waiting altogether. Morgan had already went over his fur again just to make sure. In fact, his pack was off too, sitting with all of the other things Morgan had set up. It was time. Morgan carefully let him off of the leash, and then called him to heel using the command so that they could walk out at the same time. They stood in the middle of the ring, and Morgan called out- "Everyone! This is Nico, he is easily one of the most loyal creatures I have ever met." Morgan looked down at him for a moment, before continuing. "Created to honor the Goddess Order, the houluh is a species whose ability to learn the ways of people is unmatched. Watch as Nico demonstrates how obedient this wonderful this often overlooked species can be!" At this, Morgan said, "Are you ready, Nico?" As soon as he heard his name, he turned his head and wagged his tail excitedly.

Morgan had the whistle to their mouth as soon as the 'speech' was over, and now it was ready to use the usual signals for his commands and get him to do them. Starting out with the 'easier' ones, Morgan decided, and then going on to the harder ones. This was going to take a LONG time. Morgan called for him to come after stepping a few steps away, and as soon as he got there, Morgan told him to sit, and he did so immediately. Then stay, of course. At this, Morgan stepped pretty far away. Good.
Morgan then told him to follow, and stepped around the stage with him following for just a moment, before asking him to lay down, which he did stopping in his tracks to do so. At this, Morgan asked him to heel again, and they moved over to the toys. Morgan watched him go to get a toy; and told him no, and he stopped immediately.
[Nico uses Come, Sit, Stay, Follow, Lay Down, and Heel (again), as well as responding to No correctly, all on command.]

The houluh was watching Morgan as intently as any creature could ever; ignoring the crowd as they continued. Morgan asked him to bow for the crowd, and he complied. While he was bowing, Morgan picked up his frisbee from the toy box, and then gave him the signal for 'at ease'. At this, the houluh stopped his bow, and stood up, looking at Morgan with his tail wagging. Morgan gave him the command for fetch, and then threw the frisbee. Immediately the houluh chased after it with speed that was quite a bit more than most would expect, leaping up into the air to get it when Morgan gave him the command for catch. The houluh landed, and immediately brought it back to Morgan.
Morgan took the frisbee from him by giving him the 'drop' command, and immediately the frisbee was given to Morgan. Morgan put the frisbee down for a moment so that they could move on to the next bit.
[Nico uses bow, at ease, fetch, catch, and drop all on command.]

Morgan took a step back, whistle still in mouth, and then gave him the command to rollover, which Nico performed immediately and with due haste. As soon as he had rolled over, Morgan gave him the commands for shake and kiss. The houluh put his paw into Morgan's hand and licked them on both cheeks just as they had practiced. When Morgan let go of the houluh's paw from their shake, Morgan gave the command for 'jump up' so that he would jump on top of one of the barrels that they had set up around the area. Morgan called him to stack, which he did immediately and naturally, and then Morgan picked up each and every single paw, moved each ear, and moved his tail around to show how tolerant he was of movements; like a true show dog.
Morgan gave him the command for the boop, since he was chest-height to Morgan on top of the barrel, and Morgan was given a nose boop from him as they had practiced.
[Nico rolls over, uses shake, kiss, jumps up, goes into stack, shows his tolerance, and boops on command.]

Morgan backed up a little bit, so that they could do the next thing easily enough, and then gave the houluh the command to 'leap into their arms'. The houluh did so, taking a flying trust leap and landing right in Morgan's arms! Morgan held them out and then gave the command for 'jump over me' and immediately he leapt over the top of Morgan's head. He landed on the ground nearby, and Morgan immediately gave him the command for 'sit in chair' since he was so close to the chair they had set up. The houluh jumped onto the chair, and Morgan gave him the command to growl. A quick growl was released afterwards by commanding him to howl; and boy did he howl!
Morgan gave him the command for silence to make him quiet, and he fell silent immediately. Then, Morgan gave him the command for cover; the houluh got down out of the chair and instead got under it instead to 'hide'.
[Nico uses leap into arms, jump over me, sit in chair, growl, howl, silence, and cover all on command.]

Now that that part was done, Morgan called him to do the combat crawl, and immediately he crawled out from under the chair on his belly. Morgan called him to search, and immediately he crawled out and grabbed the nearest thing; which just so happened to be his pack. "Good boyo." Morgan said, giving their mouth a quick rest while also giving him the signal for at ease so that he could stand up, then they put the whistle back in their mouth. They put the pack on him after having him drop it on command, showing off the fact that he was good at 'carrying a load'. Morgan then grabbed the set of items with the hoop, and set up the little barrels before grabbing the hoop. They gave him the command for 'leap' and he jumped up, as if the pack wasn't even on him. Then, Morgan gave him the command for 'through' hoop! Immediately he used Morgan's body as a springboard to go through the hoop instead, as he was taught.
[Nico uses Combat Crawl, Search, Carry Load, Leap, and Through Hoop all on command.]

As soon as Nico was through the hoop and on the ground, Morgan gave him the command for 'up' and then petted his head as he raised up like he was told to do. Morgan gave him the command for hug, and then he transitioned up and put his paws on Morgan's shoulders. After a quick hug, Morgan made sure that his harness was on good, and then called for him to begin to play kick the can. The houluh had been excitedly waiting for this, and moved to the cans were he immediately kicked each can in turn, hitting targets that Morgan was gesturing to, as they had trained him to do. As soon as the houluh was done with this, Morgan called him to weave through the poles next. The houluh beelined for the poles, and Morgan gave him the command for dash as soon as he got through the other end. Morgan just didn't stop telling him to dash for a long while, showing off his endurance.
[(forgot the Wear Harness) + Nico uses up, hug, kick the can, weave, and dash multiple times, showing off his endurance, all on command]

Morgan called the Houluh from his mad dash into his fancy walk, which he immediately adjusted to with no difficulty as soon as the command was given. Pleased with this, Morgan called for him to put away his things, and he began to take all of the toys that were scattered about to the toy box. Once everything was in the toy box, Morgan gave him the command to come, but 'hid' behind a false door they had set up before he could get there. The houluh stood at the door, and Morgan asked him to say 'please' with the command. The houluh scratched on the door, as he had been taught, and Morgan opened the door and gave him a quick pat on the head. There were a few more things now.
Morgan gave him the command for Run, which he gladly began to do, and then play dead; and immediately he dropped apparently 'dead', rolled over on his back with his tongue sticking out as they had practiced.
[Nico uses fancy walk, put away, please, run, and play dead, all on command.]

Just a bit More, Morgan thought. Morgan called him over to a small sand box that had been set up, and then Morgan gave him the command for 'dig'. The houluh immediately began to dig a pretty nice hole, and then Morgan called him over to the barrels, and gave him the command for the strong kick; the barrel was kicked over quite toughly. Morgan immediately requested him to bite the barrel on command, and the houluh grabbed onto it with a sharp bite. After that, Morgan called him over to a small kiddie pool they had set up, and gave him the command for swim! The houluh ran over to the water and began swimming. Pleased with this, Morgan called him over, and then asked him to lick his wounds. Though he had none, he knew that when Morgan asked to do that, then he needed to lick himself somewhere at least.
[Nico uses Dig, Kick (on barrel), Bite (on barrel), swim, and lick wounds all on command.]

Morgan was getting tired now, but was sure that they had done everything that they had come here to do. However, they wanted to make sure, and then called him over to the middle of the room for another bow that was done on command. "And there you have it, folks! Houluh can perform many tricks that many other creatures can, but have you ever seen a beast with such love for their master? Such dedication?" Morgan said, grinning. They had been dressed to match, a red plaid shirt with a black pair of nice slacks, wearing the same pins that the houluh had on his creature pockets on the collar of their shirt. Yes, everything seemed perfect! They were sure to give the houluh a treat for all the work that he did. "Yes, very good boyo, Nico!" Morgan patted him on the head. "That's all we have for you today folks!" At, this, Morgan called the houluh to heel and they left the stage.
[Nothing new, but everything on command - We are done.]

Name: Fafnir Level: 86 4/5 Loyalty: 86 4/5
Stamina: 7 Strength: 7 Resistance: 5 Dexterity: 4+2 Mentality: 2 Special Abilities: Fly, Cave Crawler, Fire Resistance Moves: Climb, Gash, Bite, Tail Strike, Headbutt, Breathe Fire
Trained: Name (1), No (1), Stay (1), Come (1), Tack Up (1), Carry Rider (2), Turn Right/Left (1), Stop (1), Go (1), Faster/Slow Down (1), Pounce [Matar] (5), Stalk [Gizli] (3), Hardy (5), Fly (3), Land (1), Breathe Fire (7), Danger Sense (10), Intimidation (7), Higher (2), Barrel Roll (4), Swim (3)
Ashe had watched the performance with the man and his Houluh and doubted he could sway the adoring crowd to prefer something like a loyal Sarane over that. Puppies just tugged at the heartstrings of normal people, and it only sweetened the deal to see how devoted they were to each other. Ashe looked around the hall, feeling rather confined. Most of his and Fafnir's bond came to light when they were in the endless sky, going wherever they wanted whenever they wanted. Here, they could probably get liftoff, fly a little bit, and land again. It was big enough for a Pliathor sized pool - he'd brought her before, after all, and the floor had opened up - but still. Walls. Ceiling. Very anti the freedom they thrived in. It was worth a shot, though. Man and beast entered the ring next, with an Imp on his shoulder and smoke coming from Fafnir's nostrils. Crowds meant energy, and extra energy shooting through the veins of a Drake in his prime meant he was ready. A little confused, because he did not smell any other Drake nearby, so no fighting... He smelled a hen, but it was his daughter. Strange. Yet here he was. "Fafnir," Ashe said, noticing that he was losing the Drake's focus. Fafnir's head swiveled on his long slim neck and he looked at Ashe. The man patted his shoulder. "Ho," he said, giving the command for 'stay.' The Drake shifted his weight to plant his feet more firmly, and stood still while Ashe and Inyala made their way away from him. [Fafnir responds to "name" and "stay"] (Royal Fidel Pachee please)

When Ashe was several paces away, he turned and faced Fafnir. Loudly, so the audience could hear, he clicked his tongue. Thankfully, they were rather quiet, so the click was easily heard by Sarane and human ears. Fafnir approached his master, confident. He was starting to relax, being able to focus on Ashe instead of the crowd around them. "Good boy," Ashe praised him, patting him on the head and shoulders.
Sorry I don't have treats right now, but after this, I have half a Murp for you when we get home, He assured Fafnir, who gave his acknowledgement. He could wait; he knew good things came if you waited, both in hunting and when dealing with hens. And Ashe, of course.
With a little effort, Ashe moved Fafnir into position. He was in sight of the crowd, yet not too close, and also not close enough to anything that could be set on fire. He cast one last look around them, then nodded to himself, deciding that it was good enough. It would have to be, because they didn't have many options here. He cleared his throat, then yelled dramatically, "Incendiar!" Fafnir's head reared back, neck arching, and he spouted flames parallel to the ground.
"Whoa!" Ashe said. The command was usually used to stop him from moving, but it would work just as well in this case, hopefully. Fafnir shut his jaws and turned to look at him, waiting expectantly. Ashe signaled to Inyala and said something to her in her language. She hopped off his shoulder and started to scamper around. She got away from Ashe and Fafnir, then stopped, back to them, pretending to look at the floor.

"Gizli!" Ashe said, pointing toward Inyala. Fafnir followed his motion, saw his target - which surprised him, because he thought Ashe was fond of that creature - and he crouched, wings tucked and tail carefully lifted to avoid making too much noise. He may look silly doing this out in the open here, but in the right setting he would blend into the shadows or in the grasses, and you wouldn't know what hit you afterward. He slunk forward, slowly, demonstrating his full understanding of how to stalk.
"Matar!" Ashe called out next, and the Sarane sprang into action. He leaped through the air and landed - but Inyala was quicker and, with a snap of her fingers, she poofed in a puff of smoke. Fafnir looked startled when his prey disappeared, and he got up, shaking his head. How had he lost her? Had he failed?
Inyala poofed back into existence on Ashe's shoulder, looking smug and satisfied with herself.
Part of the plan, Fafnir, it's alright. You did great!
The Sarane heard Ashe through their ribbon and looked up, spotting Inyala there. His target! He started toward them, set on correcting his folly. Ashe sensed his intention and shook his head. "No, Fafnir." Ashe held up a hand and shook his finger at him, shaking his head. "No, leave it." When he was sure he had Fafnir's full attention, nothing spared for Inyala, he walked over to the beast. "I'm getting on," he announced. Fafnir tucked a leg and gave a half hearted bow to allow Ashe to climb on easier.

Ashe climbed up and got himself settled. Barebacking a Sarane was a little more complicated than an Equillion, but if you did it right, you could feel pretty secure. He tucked his in front of his wings and braced himself against his neck. Good boy, good boy. Just a little bit more... He leaned forward, which was the command, but for the sake of the viewers, he added the vocal, "Let's go, boy!" Fafnir started to walk, slow choppy steps because he felt confined inside the building. As he relaxed, his strides lengthened and they made loops around the arena. Inyala dug her claws into Ashe's shoulder to keep her balance as he went.
Soon, Ashe leaned forward again, and said, "A little bit faster, boy!" The Sarane picked up speed until he was almost running, a jarring pace for on the ground for something that was made to be in the sky. Ashe could only take so long of this, then he leaned back. "Easy, boy, slow down!" And the Sarane adjusted his pace accordingly. They slowed to a walk again, and both man and Imp felt like they could breath again.
"Let's take a right here," Ashe said, tapping with his legs on the opposite side. A tap on the left side would push the Sarane away from the pressure, and he turned right. Ashe repeated the process to the left as well, then leaned back for him to slow even further.
[Fafnir responds to Go, faster/slower, turn right/left]
