OLIVER
The word of encouragement brought a bit of confidence to the young man. It was always good to hear that he was already improving, though, even Oliver knew he had far more room to improve. It'd be nice to hear what he could do to be perfect, but it was hard to be perfect when he was so new to fighting. No matter how much verbal instructions he received, he'd always have room to improve.
And thank the gods, the animals wouldn't feel pain. It still felt super weird to be tasked with punching an animal, especially when so many of the people he knew could apparently turn into animals.
Luckily, when his punch landed on the creature, there was no sign of pain or resistance. Rather, the beast kept on its merry way. Could it be merry if it couldn't feel anything? Oliver didn't see the next thing coming, especially when it wasn't a thing any horse he'd seen could do. The horse's lower body rammed into him.
He was knocked to the side and did flail around a bit. Oliver would attempt to give a punch to the back leg and try to take a few steps back. It was hard to get his footing and his legs shook slightly as he tried to step back.
Oliver soon became distracted, turning to look over at Loren briefly. He called out to him, obviously very confused. "What am I supposed to do? Get it on its back?"
