Asteria
I come yet closer
(Pets wolf on the head)
One day soon you shall know the taste defeat
Penthesilea
(chuckling)
I shall embrace such a day, in hopes that you can put silly contest to rest
(kneels down and scratches the wolf behind its ears)
Asteria
(smiling)
Yet, silly contest serves to strengthen legs, providing welcome advantage on the battlefield.
Penthesilea
(wraps arm around Asteria, as the pair begin walking)
Your sword has yet to pierce skin and still you taste blood.
(kisses Asteria on her temple)
Patience child, your time in battle draws near
(pauses)
Every wolf must learn to run before it can hunt
