It felt good to be going out to train again, especially when there was hardly anything left to train Blackcloud with. Of course, this wasn't Blackcloud, nor was it really Vera either. This was Markali, the illegitimate daughter between Blackcloud, and more than likely her friend's Fiero, Zephyr. Markali also had a child of her own, but that pup belonged to Salki, another friend of hers. Markali also had a personality that was quite opposite of her mother's; she was much more eager, she followed Dragon around with much more enthusiasm, and seemed to show great interest in learning something new. Don't knock til you try it would probably be Markali's motto; too bad Dragon couldn't ask her. Eh, no matter. More about Markali's style of learning would be learned as they went, starting now in fact, as the two of them, Alpha Dragon and Fiero Markali, entered their section of the Training Meadow.

The first thing that Markali went and did was go around the Training Meadow, observing every aspect of her new surroundings; from what she could see, to what she could touch, and to what she could smell. Everything seemed new and different here, and this made Markali all jittery with excitement. She wondered what reason her alpha had for bringing her out here, because this is the first time she had ever been out anywhere with her alpha, and she wanted them both to have the best time they could have.
Seeing Markali's excitement made Dragon smile, but of course she did hope that this would not hinder their time spent training. That was what they were here for, of course. To train.
And for what reason did she have for training Markali? Because Blackcloud needed a break from all the battles she had been through, and her daughter seemed like the kind of person who was willing to try new things. She would have taken Wolshok out, but he's hardly around, more than likely off by himself.

Dragon went over in her mind as to what it was that they were going to be training for. It was going to be a lot, but hopefully Markali will be much more enthusiastic about it all than her mother had been. Markali had already showed signs of this, and this pleased Dragon.
One of the things that needed to be taught was the acceptance of contact. Markali was still quite young, despite being a mother herself already, and still had to be taught how to accept her alpha's touch. This shouldn't be too difficult, though. Dragon was quite experienced with it, having done it successfully twice already, and Markali was somewhat like Vera personality wise, if not a little more hyperactive.
Of course, she wouldn't know anything until she did anything. So, Dragon slowly walked up to Markali, who was still more or less occupied in her own little realm. Dragon then reached out with an arm and placed her paw gently on Markali's back.

Markali froze where she stood for a few moments when Dragon's paw made contact with her back. Dragon did not move either, but Markali's reaction did not phase her; in fact, she had been expecting a little more than just freezing in place.
After the few moments passed by, Markali looked up at Dragon. Then she narrowed her eyes slightly and cocked one of her long ears to the side, as if to ask her alpha what on earth she was doing. She did not seem scared or nervous or anything. Maybe a little annoyed, but more bored if anything. That was a good thing. Dragon probably would not have to spend too much time having to do this, then. She hoped, at least.
Markali and Dragon continued to watch each other for a few more moments before Markali went back to doing what she was doing; nosing at the ground, taking in the smell of the meadow's grass again.

Dragon grinned and forced herself not to chuckle. Markali seemed to not even care at all about having her back touched. Well, at first she did, but then when she saw that it was only her alpha touching her, she continued to do what she was doing. That was a response that Dragon could not remember getting, even with Vera, but she knew that this should hopefully make things smooth sailing.
Dragon slowly began moving her paw up and down Markali's back in strokes, causing Markali to look up from what she was doing again. She did not look at Dragon though. Instead, she looked more out into space, as she started to lean into the soothing strokes that her alpha was giving. Man, that felt good...Markali thought to herself, eyes now only half open and her tongue hanging out.
Dragon grinned at seeing the reaction that she was getting from the strokes. So far, so good.

Now came the part where things started getting slightly more challenging. While it was very clear that Markali tolerated the back strokes that Dragon was giving her, heck she was enjoying them, this was only part of the lesson. Dragon still needed to make sure Markali at least tolerated the feel of someone's hand against the other areas of her body, including her legs, tail, belly, and face. No area must be left untouched, unless of course it is an area that is so sensitive, that the Fiero may bite you if you get too close to. That was another thing to watch for.
Of course, before she would continue, she should at least reward Markali's good behavior. Out from a storage cube, she took out a shred of meat, causing Markali's head to pop up, ears fully erect. Dragon grinned and gave her the meat, which she happily gobbled down.

It's been awhile since she had last done this, but Dragon at least had an idea of where to start first after making first contact. After the back, there was always the question on whether or not to work up to the neck and head, or down to do the hind quarters and tails. Legs and belly always came last. Always. Never before, as those were sensitive areas, and Fieros are unpredictable when it came to such areas.
Dragon began stroking Markali's back again, getting her to lean into it once more. Then she slowly, in circular motions with her paw, began moving upward, toward the Fiero's shoulder. She did this slowly, and gently, just so that Markali would not freak out too much if she found that she did not like the feeling.
When there was no signs of protest from Markali, only pleasure, Dragon continued her strokes slowly up to her neck.

No protest still. Not even as she stroked the soft neck fur that Markali possessed. Dragon was impressed. Markali was probable the most calm Fiero she had ever worked with when it came to Accept Contact, perhaps even more so than Vera. This made Dragon smile, and cement her hopes for a relatively easy and quick lesson.
Dragon continued to stroke upwards, coming now over to the head. Markali lowered her head just so she could continue feeling her alpha's paw against her. This made Dragon's job even easier. If Markali was more than willing to move her body in order to be touched more, then there would be little problems for the future.
Dragon felt all over the Fiero's head; from the tip of her ears to the tip of her snout, and everywhere else in between. Markali whined happily at all the attention she was getting, but she could not understand why. Of course, it didn't matter. She was getting attention for whatever reason her alpha had, and she was perfectly cool with that.

Dragon finally came back down from Markali's head and started moving her paw gently around her throat and then down to her chest. The only sounds that came from Markali was her panting. Dragon looked up and saw that Markali's eyes were closed, and her muzzle broken in a toothy grin, along with a lolling tongue. Obviously still enjoying herself.
Dragon grinned and then began moving her paw back to Markali's back, and then she went down to her hindquarters and the base of her tails. This was an interesting situation. So far, Markali's liked being touched no matter where she was being touched. However, she had been told by River that Markali's father doesn't like his tails being touched for whatever reason, maybe sensitivity, so perhaps maybe this might be an area that she likely shouldn't touch again?
Guess there is only one way to find out for sure.

Markali had two equally fluffy tails, both of them capable of working independently from each other, much like her ears, or the digits on a person's hand. This trait of multiple tails came directly from her own father, who had a total of nine. Nine tails...that was probably quite a lot for River to go through, considering Zephyr's tails were much longer than Markali's.
Dragon gently took one of these tails of Markali's and began stroking it carefully, trying very hard not to tug too much on it as she went down the whole length of it. She glanced up to see Markali watching her this time, with curiosity of course but she also did not seem to like it that much. Must be the sensitivity thing after all, Dragon thought to herself, as she carefully let go of the tail she had and then went to the second one.
Markali whimpered faintly at this, although Dragon was sure that she was not in any pain. She carefully let go of the tail and came back to the front, handing Markali a piece of meat to compensate. Thankfully she took it. "I'm sorry about that..." Dragon said now, stroking the back of Markali's neck. "But I had to be sure. You did very good at tolerating it the best you could, though..."

Markali snorted, but she gave a small nod, showing that she understood, if not all the way, then at least somewhat. Dragon gave a small smile before looking over the rest of Markali, analyzing what else that needed to be done. Everything except for the belly and the legs were checked, and Dragon always leaves the legs for last, so the belly had to come first.
Dragon began stroking Markali's back once more, all the way until she began to ease back into a dazed sense of pleasure. Then she let her paw slide slowly down her side and to her belly. Dragon remembered how Vera had acted when she first touched her belly. Vera had practically collapsed in pure delight. Hopefully there would be a similar reaction here, minus the collapsing.
Markali's reaction, to her surprise, was actually quite similar, only she didn't collapse, just like Dragon had hoped. Markali only swayed a few times in her daze, as if she was a happy drunk or something of that nature.

Well, that was out of the way at least. Now came for a much harder part, and Dragon hoped now more than ever that Markali would cooperate with her on this one. Of course, there was nothing really saying that she wouldn't, and she had treats for rewards for just in case. She wanted to take no chances here. The legs and paws were something that had to almost always be saved for last because of how sensitive they were.
Dragon's paw left Markali's belly now as it made its way back to her side, to her back, and then over to her shoulder. She started to massage the shoulder a bit before she began moving her paw downward, down Markali's right foreleg. Markali turned her head to watch her alpha, more curious about what she was doing than anything. She stayed perfectly quiet though.
Dragon continued all the way down to Markali's paw, feeling all around, before gently picking up this paw to feel the pads. Then she set the paw down again and stood back up.

Markali just continued to watch her alpha in her curiosity. A long ear twitched, and her eyes blinked, before she picked up the paw that Dragon had previously picked up and licked it, from the top to its pads. Then she set it back down and looked back at her alpha, licking her nose.
Dragon could not help but smile faintly. Markali always seemed to have a funny way of expressing how she felt about some things. She seemed very nonchalant about having her legs touched though, so by this Dragon felt that it was alright to continue.
She came over to her other foreleg and began massaging the shoulder, much like she had with the other one. Then she continued down the leg from there, to the wrist, and then to the top of her paw. She picked the paw up and felt the pads underneath before releasing it and standing back up again.
Dragon took out a small piece of meat and gave it to Markali, who took it with delight. "We're almost done, sweety..." she said now. "Just the back legs now, and then we shall be done with this."

Markali yawned now before she turned to watch her alpha again as she walked over toward her hind quarters. Dragon began massaging the top of the Fiero's pelvis before moving down the thigh and to the knee. Then she went all the way down from there to the ankle and then finally the paw. She picked up the paw, felt the pads, and then set it back down before standing up and moving to the other hind leg.
Here, Dragon repeated the process of moving down the hind leg from hip to the very bottom of the pads. She stood back up and quickly ran her paw over every inch of Markali, just to make sure that they had covered everything. Of course, she was careful about the belly; Markali may have acted like a drunken sailor when her belly was rubbed, but she didn't want to risk her collapsing if she accidentally tickled it.
"Welp, looks like we're all done here," Dragon said as she finally took a step back, as if to view her progress, even if there wasn't anything really visible to see. She quickly took out a shred of meat and chucked it at Markali, who caught and gobbled it down just as quickly.

“Okay then…” Dragon said to herself now. “With that out of the way, I can bump into you without having to worry about you freaking out on me!”
Markali looked up at her alpha after finishing up eating the meat scrap. She tilted her head, taking a moment to regard what her alpha had just said. So…that was why they had gone through that whole ‘touchy feely’ process. It definitely did not make that much sense at first, but when you factor in the tails…yeah, she probably would have freaked out if they were suddenly grabbed or whatever. Still did not change the fact that she disliked her tails being touched anyway.
“Now, what to do since that is all done and over with…” Dragon started saying, thinking out loud and mostly to herself. “Ah, of course. We should definitely get started on some of those attacks.” Dragon looked at Markali. “Are you ready to begin some battle training?”
