Fire smiled as she looked at the little Starlight Volpe that was padding along beside her. The Volpe was simply gorgeous, and Fire adored her starry pelt. However, the forementioned Volpe had a bit of a rebellious streak to her, if you will. She just... wouldn't listen. Well... can't hurt to try training her. Fire thought as she looked at the Starlight Volpe. "Starheart." She said simply. [Name-1] [0.2]

Starheart did not look inclined to look up at Fire at all when her name was spoken. She was too interested in looking at something on the ground, her eyes bright and curious. Fire sighed as she thought for a moment. Maybe... if I hold out a treat... she thought, and then, she pulled out a little morsel of chicken from her picnic basket. Holding it up to her face, she said, "Starheart."
The smell instantly got Starheart's interest. Treat? she thought, looking over at Fire. However, when she realized that she'd have to do something to get the treat from the human, she immediately turned away.

Fire smiled when Starheart looked at her, but then, she sighed as the Volpe returned to what she had been doing before. Holding out the chicken again, she said, "Starheart."
That smell... the smell of the chicken was starting to overpower Starheart's will to force the human to give up on training her. Starheart stood up and walked over to Fire, her eyes wide and curious. Maybe if she just walked over to her... she'd get the treat.

Fire chuckled as she said, "Good girl, Starheart." Here, she set the chicken morsel down in front of her and sat down. Starheart blinked a couple times, but soon, she leapt at the little morsel of chicken and swallowed it. Licking her chops, she looked up at Fire again.
"Huh? What are you looking at me for?" Fire asked in a joking voice. Here, she took out another morsel of chicken and held it in front of her face. "Starheart." She said, trying to get the Volpe to look at her face.

Starheart gave Fire an indignant look at first, but when she pulled out another sliver of chicken, she perked up instantly, wagging her two tails vivaciously. Fire laughed as she said, "Starheart," once more. The Volpe blinked as she thought, What are you getting at?, but after a moment, she remembered that it had been after she made eye contact with Fire that she had been given the treat. She looked at Fire intensly, her grey eyes meeting Fire's purple ones, acknowledging the human.

Fire smiled as Starheart looked at her intently. She took the tiny morsel of chicken and placed it in front of her, in between herself and the Volpe. Starheart let out an excited yip and pounced on the chicken, her eyes bright.
Fire smiled after a moment and looked at the Volpe again. "Starheart." She said calmly. She wasn't going to pull out the chicken until Starheart acknowledged her in some manner. After all, maybe this was the best way to get her to obey her.

Starheart blinked at Fire after a moment. Finally, she understood what she was getting at. Maybe, if she did what Fire wanted her to do... then she would get more treats! She looked at Fire, her head tilted and her eyes curious.
"Good girl, Starheart!" she said, placing a treat down in front of her. After Starheart had eagerly devoured the treat, Fire stood up and walked a little distance away from Starheart.
"Starheart!" she called.

Starheart looked up at Fire, her eyes wide and expectant for a treat. However, when she realized how far away Fire seemed, she blinked. What was this human getting at, she wondered to herself. Fire smiled as she said, "Speak!"
Starheart blinked. What...?

Fire looked at Starheart as she looked at her, her brow furrowed and her eyes confused. After a moment, she walked back over to Starheart and scratched the back of her ear. "Starheart, speak!" she said, and then; to demonstrate, she made a little barking sound in her throat.
Starheart inclined her head slightly, but still did not make any sound whatsoever. It was evident that she didn't quite get what she was supposed to do yet.

Fire gave a distressed whimper when Starheart didn't catch her hint. After a moment, she said, "Speak! Like this--" and here, she barked [as best as a human could, that is,] and looked back at Starheart. "You try it now. Speak!"
Starheart looked at Fire, confused. But when the "bark" registered to her, her eyes widened as she let out a tiny bark-snort.

Fire smiled as she said, "Good girl, Starheart!" She laughed as she pulled out a treat and set it in front of Starheart. Her ears perked up instantly when she saw the treat, but, at first, she was apprehensive of taking it. What was Fire getting at...?
Finally, Starheart took the treat and ate it, and then, she looked up at Fire again, her tails wagging.

Fire chuckled as she saw Starheart's enthusiasm. "You want another treat, don't you, Starheart?" she asked. Starheart looked up at Fire when she heard her name spoken, and when she heard the mention of treats, she let out a tiny yip.
"Well, then, speak!"

It seemed like Starheart was finally catching onto this command, for when Fire said, "Speak!", she let out a bark; this one was less timid then the last one. However, there was still some timidity in the bark. However, Fire smiled and placed another treat in front of her.
"Good girl, Starheart!" she said.

Starheart's eyes brightened as she heard Fire's praise. She jumped onto Fire's lap and nuzzled her lovingly, her tails a sparkling mass of happiness. Fire smiled as she said, "All right, Starheart; speak!"
Starheart barked a little more confidently this time, her tails still wagging rapidly.

Fire smiled brightly as she petted Starheart. "Good girl, Starheart! Now... sit!" she said. She picked the Starlight Volpe up and set her down, looking to see if she'd gotten the command. When Starheart merely stood there, Fire pushed her rump onto the ground.
Starheart let out an angry bark at this, and Fire merely tapped her nose. "I didn't say 'speak', I said 'sit'. But you did a good job with 'speak', nonetheless." She said. "But, no treat. Sorry."
