Four others arrived, two familiar and two – three, technically, if he counted Mirror and Image as two separate entities – mostly unfamiliar, in everything except for name. He had only recently met Mirror and Image, and the only real thing that he knew about Crowley was that he was a fan of plants and gardening, but Feza and Mayari were more familiar. He wasn't too well acquainted with Mayari, nor was he on the best terms with Feza at the moment, but at the very least he knew their faces well. Still, he offered all five of the others gathered around a small smile, toothy thanks to his lack of lips, at least mostly. It seemed as though Mirror and Image just wanted to watch, but for the other three he could already start to figure out things in his head. Feza was larger than him at this point, Mayari was roughly the same size as him, and Crowley was smaller, but the same things could apply if he taught them right, at the very least. Sure, Crowley would probably have the most problems with what Worm was going to teach, since the male was so small compared to the rest of them – not that he would point that out, as it would be rude.
Tail wagging at the fact that people actually showed up for his training sessions, the male blinked at Feza and said with a soft snort, "Well, party surprises are certainly better than attack surprises, especially considering how many people have gotten taken lately. Thankfully Red is back now, and so are Sam and Beck, but we were all worried sick when they were gone, and I think this might help a little with making sure we can all defend ourselves... Mirrorimage, even though you won't be participating, there won't be any real fighting right now, so I can demonstrate things for you to see without any getting sore or hurting." He chuckled a bit before moving over to Mayari, saying softly as he reached a paw up to gently press it against the back of her scruff, being careful not to nick her with his sharp bone claws, "I'm demonstrating on Mayari right now, but this applies to all of us. One of the most common ways that people get taken, especially if they're a smaller species like Crowley over there, is that they get grabbed by the scruff and taken off while they can't get out of the hold." He had to worry more about it now, since he wasn't a massive lion anymore, but this was probably obviously targeted at all of the smaller felines that resided in the clan, like Crow or formerly Moth.
Making his way over to where the little hay bags he had brought out were sitting, he barked softly as he moved to bite down on one part of the bag, "So, pretend that this is one of you, and I'm a pittian, grabbing you by the back of the neck." He demonstrated it quite clearly, before he said with little flick of his paw, a motion to accompany his words, "Now, the obvious instinct when that happens is to try flailing and trying to turn around so that you can dig your claws into your attacker, but usually that doesn't work all that well. So, instead what you should try to do is slam your head into the attacker's face. If you go limp, like you're giving up, and then slam your head up as fast as possible, you can catch them off guard, and you can actually break their nose with your head if you try hard enough. Another way to do that is to swing your head to the side, but generally going down and snapping back up is most helpful. One thing you need to watch out for with that is that... obviously Pittians are pretty ruthless, so if you go limp, they might think that means they can just kill you easily. Now it's doubtful that they'd try to kill you if they were attempting to take you back to the Pitt, but you should still be careful."
