Amarant had followed the girl out of the crowd so he would miss any punishment that could have come on him or the woman he kind of stood up for. He had seen as his opponent whispered into the other's ear, and of course thought that it was only something nice and friendly she whispered to help the poor woman. As the walked away from the group to start their spar training, Amarant would speak out. "So um..." He wouldn't ask her what she  said to that man or how she even felt about it... he wouldn't refuse listening to her if she wanted to talk about it but he assumed they would get the training over with and part ways. Of course, he enjoyed making friends and extra time together wouldn't at all hurt him. "I've never done this before, is there like a rule for who goes first?" He would only stop if she did, looking at her with a crooked chin and perked ears. He remembered he felt this sort of anger when Colten wouldn't go back home with Rune or that same time when Kylar told him that he couldn't really just send Colten off on a voyage back there... He felt some blood lust then but it didn't amount to anything. Besides, this was a spar. They weren't actually trying to hurt each other. Walk "Talk" Think

She padded quietly away from the congregation, aware of her sparring partner follow behind her. The spotted boy would ask a question and Freya hesitated briefly, her head tilting to the side. "In all honesty?" She began picking up her pace again, seeking to put as much space between them and the silver queen. "I’m not sure… I’m a healer, not a fighter. The idea of seeing any wolf in pain is not one I enjoy all that much." Then she stopped, casting a gaze around her to assure no wolves more loyal to the Arcanum queen were in ear shot. "Which is why I asked my brother to be gentle with that woman. He may be eager to prove himself but he’s a kind wolf. I’d rather she get a few scratches from him then whatever sadistic punishment our alpha would dole out."

The golden girl sighed and turned around to face him. "I suppose there are tactical advantages to both being first and being the one to react. So I’m alright with you going first if you want."

"Well uh, thanks  for that." He would respond to the little help that she offered. "I don't really know her but she was pretty scared at that pack challenge." She would offer Amarant the first move, and he would respond. "Oh... um, alright." His ears went back as he wasn't quite sure what to do. He wasn't fending for his life... it couldn't be the same as that. But there was a first for everything, even if he had no clue what he was doing. (assuming they are no more than 10 feet apart) Amarant would make a lazy run towards the girl, but his towering body of the girl had probably made him a whole lot more intimidating. He hadn't realized how much taller he was until he had approached her. He wouldn't run into her, but leaned his neck forward and moved with his body to try and take a hold of her scruff; the right side of her body, about halfway down her neck. He tried to give her a gentle bite, but it may have been a bit harder than he planned, he didn't know what the limit was. His only move was to pull her down to her right and throw her off balance. Meanwhile, his neck was scrunched, his tail was straight out to keep his balance, his ears were pinned, and his eyes were narrowed. It was the only instinct he had... Again, he wasn't in any true danger, how could he know what to do? Amarant vs Freya For Training Spar Round One of Two Attacks:Bite to right side, half way down neck; trying to throw her off balance by pulling her right side. Defenses: Neck scrunched, tail out for balance, ears pinned, and eyes narrowed. Injuries: None. Walk "Talk" Think

Her ears perked. Pack challenge? Was it possible the poor traumatized woman had belonged to her aunt? The golden girl made a note to ask the next time they had a run in, surely the red woman would probably want to know of what state her former pack mate was in.

Emeralds watched as the spotted boy approached, some instinctual part of her lowering her body closer to the ground, and making her splay her legs some, tail pulling out behind her and eyes narrowed. Very little else shifted though, just as inexperienced in fighting as her partner was. He wasn’t running full tilt at her and yet a part of her briefly feared he was about to collide with her, his bulk seemed more likely to simply crush her than allow for any sort of retaliation.

His jaws closed around her scruff, a bit harder than she had anticipated and a gasp of pain escaped her throat. He hadn’t just gotten her scruff but a bit of the base of her neck on the right side. She could feel him tugging on her, clearly meaning to topple her and her toes spread a small growl pushing past her gritted teeth. With some effort she suddenly threw her head back, hoping to connect with his throat, or the base of his jaw. If she was honest she wasn’t sure she would even reach.

She fought to stay standing, a losing battle unfortunately as she felt herself falling over. A squeak was the only sound she made as she toppled over onto her right side. The golden girl tried to quickly flip herself over on her left side, swiping out with her paws as she did in a wild attempt to sweep them out from under the bigger boy.

Her squeals alarmed him, though he wasn't quite sure what he could do... surrender? Cat would probably be infuriated if he quit because he was too rough. Maybe he should give up just to get under her skin... But his thoughts were interrupted when the girl threw her head up and hit under his jaw and chin, making him pull his body a little harder which made him successful at pulling her to the ground. He would let go of her scruff then, but before he could think of anything else, the girl started to claw at his legs. He started to jump around, avoiding at least a few of her swipes before trying to leap his front legs over to her other side and putting one paw on her shoulder to hold her down gently. His body would be standing over top of her with his back legs beside her stomach, and his front legs beside her back; of course aside from trying to place his left paw on her left shoulder. He didn't want to try and puncture her skin anymore, so he would hold back on anymore biting. His weight on her shoulder would be pretty weak that she could probably wiggle herself around, but might have been hard to completely knock his paw off of her. His toes were splayed on the ground as well as his back legs spread to keep balance. He tired to keep his weight evenly distributed which shouldn't have been hard because the woman was so tiny compared to him. His hackles were raised (so long as he was able to stand over her), but his ears, eyes, and muscles weren't as tense because he didn't feel threatened by her anymore (ears and eyes completely relaxed). (OOC: It's really hard writing a fight with a char (Ammy) that doesn't know how to fight xD) Amarant vs Freya For Training Spar Round: One | Two Attacks: Trying to hold her down?  Defenses: Toes splayed; back legs spread; weight evenly distributed; hackles raised. Injuries: Possible light bruising under chin; Some claw scratches to both of his front legs Walk "Talk" Think

Her skull collided with his jaw and she felt a twinge of sympathy, then was aware of the throbbing on her own head. Head-butting… probably not the best attack she could think of. Still there wasn’t much time to consider her own lack of strategy before she was being dragged to the ground. .

Wildly flailing paws hit his legs, once or twice at least and she managed to roll over onto her left side but quickly after he had leaped over her, placed a paw upon her shoulder. The pressure was light, not enough to do any real damage and she allowed an almost playful growl to rumble out from her jaw. Wriggling slightly Freya attempted to reach his paw. Jaws seeking to nip at his ankle, no real damage to be done just enough to get him to release her.

The fur along her spine remained raised, and ears were still pinned against her skull. Emeralds were narrowed, pointed in the direction of his paw but with her body pressed so firmly against the ground little else had carried over.
