When she felt like enough time has passed, and Envix shadow form looks even more agitated, she lunges, swiping her hand at Envix. Surprisingly Envix dodges the swipe at just the right time, she almost though it had connected, but it was just a inch off that estimation. Smiling she watches Envix try to find a spot blindly where she might not be. Actually getting close to her backpack again, though she doubts Envix realizes that. Moving slowly after her, she tries to move carefully in front of her again. She bit her lip when she accidently stepped on a dry leaf, moving her foot quickly off it as she waits tensely what Envix might do. Judging by Envix head tilted in her direction, she might have heard the slight crinkling. Still, she had to keep going. Deciding to then go for one of her sides, she made a wide berth in order to avoid giving Envix the upper hand in this.

While she knew what darkness is like as a being such as herself, there is something disconcerting about not actually allowing one self to see what is around them, and trying to use her other senses to get an idea of what is going on. That she couldn’t hear the voice in the back of her head any longer perhaps even more so, as it’s been a long while that the only voice in her mind was her own. Spreading small tendrils of shadows on the ground she tried to sense when exactly it might be best to dodge, by spreading them she figured out somewhat that it increases just slightly her sense of something that is going on and when a presence is near she can sense it minimally, she supposes it might be possible to compare it to small hairs standing upright, and feeling the brush of a touch even when it hasn’t happened to the skin yet, but its just a theory. She is neither a mammal nor someone of the living, she is just who she is. Keeping her wings tightly behind her back, she tilted her head in the hope she might hear something again like there might have been a few moments ago, though, how exactly a being or ones like her hear is difficult to explain, even to their own kind. They just know.

When the lightest brush of tingling energy comes close enough, she moves straight ahead, this time she is sure of it. Something from the side had been near. Using the tendrils of shadows on her lower body to map the area around them, she feels frustrated. With not being allowed to open her eyes she has no way to know for certain where she is going, nor can she make the distance between her and Twilight too big, or this exercise, she knows instinctively, will just take longer then even she wants it to be. Pausing in her movements again, she has to suppress the urge to force the mental connection open, and hear what her human is thinking. This waiting around is not for her. Spreading her tendrils this time just slightly less around her then before, she figures it might be best to always expect the unexpectant, but not be too tense about it.

Shifting her wings slightly, she turns her head in the direction she heard something clatter against a tree, it sounded familiar, a rock perhaps? It was too fa- She dodged backwards when she almost felt like something was going to attack her, the quick foot steps of Twilight as she tried balancing herself after the lunge could be hear. But she didn’t take much note of it, she just moved away from her previous spot, trying to find another good one that wouldn’t mean being half inside a tree and blocking even more her ability to try and sense what is going on around them. Opening her mouth, she formed it to contain large teeth for just a second, aimed at the spot she was at last. Trying to intimidate her human, though she is sure Twilight already moved away from it, the though still counts, and she has to show her frustration in at least some way.

She felt the tactic Twilight had used interesting, to use a rock to distract her with the noise, but she felt prideful at being able to have dodged away from her lunge even when distracted. Still, she tilts her head behind her, feeling a frown come up, she thought she might have heard something similar being done just now. Only more of a lighter weight that made the sound not as noticeable as before. Turning her head back to a more comfortable position, she lets her wings droop limply. When are they done now? Hadn’t she done enough? “Grah!” She jumps to the side, at the sudden noise coming from in front of her, and hurries to a spot farther away, her wings all fluffed up in agitating tendrils she tries to smooth with her clawed hands. She hadn’t expected that to happen, the noise that is, nor that her human chose to keep more of a distance this time while going after her.

Should she have not dodged it though? It is hard to decide whether it was the right choice or not, but she hopes it did end up being the right one. Focusing back on her surroundings she tries to listen to the sounds around her, the wind rustling the leaves in the tree’s and grass, the bird songs or other animals too far away to be a threat to her, yet close enough to be heard making some noise. She tensed slightly at hearing the crinkling of leaves somewhere to her right. Keeping her wings close to her body, she tries to wait it out, wait for the feeling saying she needs to move. The feeling that danger is near her if she doesn’t. When that light brush of feeling came, she dodges backwards, feeling her senses cut off till she moves even further away. Apparently she had gone through a tree while moving away, how frustrating.

With how many times Envix was able to dodge now, she felt like a break is something they could both use, just something else to do before they start again, and with how Envix that one time bared her teeth at the general direction of her, she knows the perfect one. Relaxing her grip on the connection she says within her mind. ‘Alright Envix, lets take a break for now. I might test you later, but I feel it would be best to do something else for now.’ She says in a cheerful tone, grinning at the very visible sight of Envix perking up at the mention of taking a break from it all right now. ‘I propose we’ll do something you might very well find fun to do.’ Or at least she is eighty percent certain Envix would be enjoying herself more then she does right now. Curiosity piqued, she hears the tones of interest in Envix voice. ‘And what will that be?’ Her body seemed to become less restless compared to a few minutes ago, the shadow tendrils less agitated.

Giving a lopsided smile at Envix, she says with amusement. ‘That teeth baring thing you did ten or so minutes ago? That surprised me when you did. See, what I am thinking of right now, with how it made me surprised at the act, I think it might have some use in combat situations where people would freeze at the unexpectancy of it all.’ Grinning, she claps her hands together. ‘So I want to train you Menace!’ Surely that name would be a fitting one for this, as it is supposed to stop others in their tracks? Envix tilted her head in a puzzled manner when hearing about it, but her wings are in a more relaxed position, one that is not held so tightly against the body, she is definitely trusting her not to try and see if she has learned Danger Sense yet. ‘I think..’ She murmurs as she stares at Envix’s form. ‘It might be a good idea to flare all your appendages, and have your mouth open in a roar, I think..’ She muses, trying to imagine it.

Nodding to herself, she makes her decision. ‘Alright, lets do it like this Envix, if you have your wings first at your side, then flare them out while having your hands claw at the air in front of your opponent, and opening your mouth as if to roar would make a good impression on what Menace could be like. That one feels like it could work in scaring people.’ Though mainly other creatures, as she doubts people ever want a go at someone who they can’t touch physically. She is certainly one of them not wanting to do that. ‘Now lets try it?’ She asks, and gestures to Envix. Waiting to see how she will do it. Envix cocks her head to the side, before looking at her claws a bit unsure about this, but when she saw her green eyes narrow she seemed ready. ‘Alright.’ She hears her say, folding her wings better behind her back so that it seems to be melted back into her skin, but with her being so close by, she could see the small outline of it just so.

Envix didn’t do it immediately, instead she waited for just a moment, staring at her, then. She spread her wings wide, flaring them while her clawed hands where scratching at the air, her mouth formed with small but sharp teeth that snapped at the air between them. “Menace!” She says not in her mind this time, as she watches Envix posture. Something still seemed missing. Sure the suddenness could be scary, but she thinks it might have looked even better, perhaps larger teeth? ‘Again Envix, and larger teeth then before. I need to become scared, not watch it all passively’ She mutters in her mind, and sees Envix glare at her. Sure, if she could get it perfect in one shot would have been awesome, but even then it still takes adjusting things to make it perfect. With Envix folding her wings again she could see her rolling her shoulders for a moment, contemplating how she can make it better? She certainly is taking her sweet time, she thinks while eyeing Envix critically.

When just enough time seemed to have passed that she got the urge to say something to Envix, Envix started flaring her wings and snapped her much larger teeth at the air between them, her clawed hands swiping the air. She flinched slightly, then remembered, “Menace!” to say the word quickly. Bringing a hand to her chest she rubs the area close to her throat, it did look scary, but not too much yet. ‘Better, but it still misses something.’ She reviews in her mind what else could be missing as she sees Envix cock her head to the side in curiosity. Smiling once she noted what else might be missing this time, she says cheerfully in her mind. ‘Okay, lets try this time with your wings seemingly flaring tendrils of shadows from it as well. It might help make you look even more menacing.’ She grins at seeing Envix eyes become slightly narrower, the glow dimming only slightly.

When she settles her wings in a resting position on her back, she waits for Envix to start. This time Envix didn’t wait too long, with her mouth full of what looks like sharp teeth snapping at the air, her hands swiping at what is in front of her, she flares her wings at the same time, larger this time then before and more menacing. Flinching backwards, she says quickly. “Menace!” She recovers quickly enough to notice that the shadows she is so used to see around Envix on the ground are less than normal, and could see the reason for why that might be easily enough. Clearly she had added more of them in her wings to burst out in bigger wings, with some of the shadow tendrils waving in a way that could make one think of fists aimed at someone in a thread. Yes, this, this looked great. Smiling at the sight she watches Envix stop with trying to look so menacing.

Still might there be something Envix could improve on with trying to look scary? Getting just that little more oomph in it to make it very effective? Tilting her head to the side she studies Envix, what else could give that extra scare tactic effect with her? She blinked in surprise when a thought came to her for it. ‘Envix? Can you make a tail? The Menace you did just now went great, but I think if you form the shadows in a tail, probably by condensing them together?’ She both asks and questions Envix, as she wasn’t certain how she does some of the things she does, but looking at her she just seemed curious at her request when she tilts her head in such a way she often does for that emotion to be correctly conveyed to her. When Envix looks behind herself she stares at it, and sees Envix concentrate. Gathering the shadows at her ‘feet’ to slowly form one rather slim but long tail? She wasn’t to certain as that was what Envix tried going for, as the shadows kept moving in a undulating pattern that didn’t end up too sharp. But it could be somewhat seen as a tail perhaps, just odd and slightly miss formed.

‘So, like this?’ She hears Envix say within her mind as Envix slowly looks up again, making a poor imitation of a wagging tail. ‘Err, maybe it might be best to leave out the tail, and go for longer claws?’ She decided, as it looked more comical then scary, it might even ruin the effectiveness of the move itself. With Envix eyes narrowed at her, she was probably annoyed of all that work being for nothing, still, it might be best to go for the original look, it did make her flinch, even with Envix not making a sound. ‘Fine..’ She hears as a huff in her mind, definitely annoyed with her then. When Envix settled herself in a more resting pose, she decided to try and see if she could say the word before Envix starts, to make it more instinctive for her. “Menace!” She yells , making Envix flinch from the sudden noise and look at her in surprise. Ok, so maybe not starting out with yelling might be best.

‘Sorry..’ She mutters in her mind, looking apologetically at her as she hadn’t meant to scare her with it. ‘What was that about?’ She hears a few seconds after, the tone a bit disgruntled at the interruption? She wasn’t too certain about that one. ‘Well, I do hope you’ll learn it not just to hear it inside the mind, but also when I speak outside of it?’ It became more questioning, but the gist of what she meant is there. That one eye looked bigger than the other at that proclamation might be her imitating a raised eyebrow perhaps. ‘Right, and the yelling?’ She sighs, Envix really isn’t letting go of that one it seems. ‘I was too enthusiastic at that point. Can we just keep going? I would really like you to know this one instinctively to do it at the point that when I say it, you will do it without thinking about it, It could save you one day.’ She smiles at her, and Envix at this point seemed to be done with chattering as well as she gets in to a relaxed position again.
