Tricks for Treats [prompt]
"Okay, soldiers! Ten-hut!"
Ignition stands outside in a park-like area with his group of imps, watching and waiting patiently as they all line-up next to one another. After his training escapades with Hutch, and his brief run ins with the pedigree trainer Quince, he's been meaning to do some training with his gaggle of friends for some time now. Thankfully, There were no performences for a few days for him, So he had the time. While Ignition would much rather spend this time with his partners [and likely should, as Hutch mentioned mutual training also helps], His imps are just as important.
"Right, Explosion. I have these-" Ignition pulls a small bag from behind him, which contained little bitesize mochi pieces...the catch being that he had made them specifically to be the red festival flavour that Dan seasonally made. He had stocked on ingredients solely for this reason. "-and in order to get one, I want you to stand up on your tail. Upright, Like this!"
Ignition pushes up to his very tippy-toes...or, tippy-hooves, to demonstrate. He also does a little hand gesture to try and get the request across.
The small Sceil slithers around, nipping at its own tail with its nose and Ignition shakes his head. He pulls a little piece out and holds it up slightly "Up!!"
Explosion understands the assignment more, deciding to uncoil and slowly wiggle his way up, rocking back onto the edges of his tail and managing to keep himself upright, making sure he also stands VERY tall.
Ignition holds the piece down to him, which he eats happily, and pets his head with a finger before clapping. He puts that mini bag back and pulls another larger one out, this one full to the brim with demon pepper mochi nibbles. He smiles knowingly at the three other imps and they all seem to gain a bit of a buzz at the sight.
"Right, Eruption, Please try your wings...also flicker your flame a little!"
The candyl seems to be standoffish, almost refusing with its body language before it slowly flaps its wings, getting a feel for their weight and dripping momentum. Obviously it couldn't use them to fly but it could use them somewhat. Slowly, it begins to flap them quicker and quicker, watching through a sideeye as they feel slightly less heavy as the movements go on. It stops finally, eye closing as it puts maximum effort into flickering the head flame and tail flame it has UP, and it goes up very rapidly.
"Woah woah okay! At-ease, Soldier! Good job" Ignition beams, laying a few little nibbles in front of it
"Detonate i don't think we have to train you today, but PLEASE, learn how to sit." Ignition pulls a sort of =_= irritated face and the bonezo tilts his head, not understanding the word at all.
"Detonate, Sit!" Ignition repeats, but uses a specific hand motion this time and the bonezo immediately understands him. He sighs, dragging a hand over his eyes shortly. If only the little guy could understand vocal commands just as much as visual ones. Which is strange, considerin everyone assumes bonezos dont even HAVE actual eyes. He feeds him his nibbles and then very slowly kneels and holds a hand out towards the fiendish phloof in the line.
The phloof is the most standoffish, being the newest addition they're very hesitant still...so for the moment Ignition is just trying to train them in opening up a little bit more. Trust exercises and the like are still considered training by his standards. He plops a single nibble into the palm of his hand and rests that hand flat on the ground, looking towards the imp softly
"Come on, Its okay c4, Come!" His voice is soft and welcoming and VERY cautious, He doesn't want to lose any trust he may have accidentally built up before this exercise.
Very slowly the phloof crawls and rolls and shuffles towards the open hand, pausing ever few sections to cautiously survey the doll in front of them. Eventually they end up rolling into the palm and on top of it, nipping and nibbling at the treat laying there. Ignition slowly lowers the back of a finger down and strokes over the imps head gently "Well done"
