#21 The Use of Forks
The training of the Silver-Claws was interrupted by a blue panerugan that entered the Silverclaw Hall. All silverclaws met her gaze.
„G-Good morning“, the blue one waved slightly nervous.
„Is that Flox?“, Moreen guessed.
„It is“, Pyrit waved back.
„Flox is your name? What do you want here?“, Maxim stepped towards her with a friendly smile, „Do you wish to join us?“
„Y-yeah. I.. I recently discovered the joy of using sticks to battle. A friend told me this is kinda your thing and since I have no warrior education yet, I was wondering if you´d be open for another cadet“, Flox explained.
„We´re always open for new members. Welcome, Flox!“, Maxim wagged her tail and the other cadets welcomed the new silverclaw.
„Flox has a lot of catching up to do“, Maxim said, „It might be best if some of you practise with her out of our regular training sessions.
„We can do that!“, Pyrit suggested happily.
While the former cadets were training, Maxim took some time to explain Flox the basics.
„So we start with spoons. I never saw a spoon before. Looks funny“, she studied the oddly shaped object, „I bet it´s also good for digging!“
„It might be good for that too. But make sure not to lose it. This will be your weapon from now on till you´re skilled enough to use something more dangerous“, Maxim said.
„I used sticks yet. Before I joined here“, Flox explained.
After training, Pyrit and Dalmatian met with Flox, who was excited to learn more.
Shinybutt joined them: „If you really want to learn to be a good silverclaw, you should learn from me.“
„Is it true, that we will get actual swords, once we reached a certain level of skills?“, Flox asked with shiny eyes.
„Hehe.. See yourself“, Shinybutt´s collar glowed for a second and his sword, Shinyblade, appeared between his fangs, „Meet Shinyblade!“
„Woah!“ Flox eyes became bigger and shinier, „Do you hae something like this too?“, she asked the two sphinxes.
„Meanwhile, we have. But we´re not show-offs like Shiny is“, Pyrit grinned at him.
„Before we start, lets get some food“, Moreen suggested and the five of them used a portal to Nomming-Well, a restaurant like place on the base of Waterfall Hill.
When their order arrived, it came with a wooden fork. „Once you´re done with spoon training, you will get to train with a fork, Flox. Like this. Just not wooden“, Moreen showed her, how it´s done.
„This fork is not for silver-claw training!“, Dragonfang, a blonde horned dog that worked at the Nomming-Well shouted at her. „...Sorry“, Moreen said and dropped the fork.
„If they´re not for training, what are they for?“, Flox asked and looked at Dal, who used the fork to transport the noodles from the little wooden bowl into her mouth.
„That´s funny. Isn´t it way easier to just use your paws? .. Or to put your muzzle directly into the bowl?“
„Many Panerugans do it like this. Some prefer not to get dirty while eating“, Shinybutt explained, with noodles all over his face. Clearly he didn´t care eating like an animal, and finishing it with a burp.
