The large head nodded at Deimos's careful words, lessons he would continue to learn for some time to come, he expected. The General's assistance would be welcome in the education, though, however long it took. Given that they were both finding new forms, perhaps they could even help each other. Though the current size difference did make it more difficult... Mighty though the hound was for its kind - more than a match for a wolf, if Jigano had to guess, and not just for the sharpened mind within it - the dragon did stand tall over him. None of their shapes were well-quited to equal contest, come to think of it; the General's mostly made for ending conflicts swiftly, or the hunting of large and cunning prey. The bard's forms, on the other hand, tended to smaller size or gentler aspect, all except for this one, which more than made up for the rest combined.
Still, the hound wasn't that much smaller than the tiger he'd expected to face, and they'd find ways to make it work. I thought blindfolds? the dragon suggested, though with a query at the end if Deimos disagreed. To focus on senses other than sight. My goal will be to try to tag you with my nose, I think. You're a smaller, faster target and I'll have to focus on sound and scent to find you, and better control over this body as a whole. You'll be trying to dodge me without being able to see me... I suppose you could try and tag me, too, but I'm a big enough target that I don't know if that would be much challenge, he admitted with a rumble of amusement as he dipped his head to lift a white blindfold from beside him in the snow, offering to slip it over the General's head if the hound acquiesced before wrestling his own into place.
Let me know when you're ready.
