AINO
A quiet chuckle of amusement slipped from the woman as she followed Sah's gesture and noticed the puppy. It was quite adorable; she had a soft spot for canines, wolves or dogs mattered little.
Sah seemed confident, and Aino nodded with approval as he suggested a bout with the swords. "To first blood?" she suggested, a toothy grin appearing on her face as she drew her sword. It was not how the Shields sparred, but she remembered how evenly matched they had been in their last spar, and if their combined stubbornness was any indication, it was probably a good idea to set boundaries.
Besides. Training with edged weapons always came with risk. Better get used to the idea sooner rather than later. Aino took a stance, holding her sword in the left hand with the tip pointed low. Ready to defend or attack as necessary; waiting for Sah to make the first move.

Come and conquer, drop your bombs
Cross my borders and kill the calm
Cross my borders and kill the calm
