The itchiness that had been growing in his paws for long months, finally came to druitation as they developed into deadly cat-like paws. He could almost climb trees with his new, dangerous mutation. Turned out he was still top heavy, and if he wasn’t careful, he ended up on his back in the dirt more often than not. Still, he was determined to practice to the extremes with his new weapons so that he understood them intimately. Zee had grown something far more obvious, and in his mind, much more magnificent. The horns that came in gentle curved from her skull would make a brilliant shield, or effective skewer, for whatever manner of fighting she wished to develop. She looked rather dashing with her new Kuto antlers, and the thorn wrap that twirled about them gave her the impression of danger. Just how he liked his woman, dangerous. He came upon the den with a grin, ducking his head inside and finding her there. “Wife of mine” he greeted her, knowing how much the title enjoyed her, and he loved with teasing her, and claiming her. He could do both easily with just a word. “I’ve let you grow lax since the volcano, and eat too many squirrels' he told her, leaning in to poke her belly with a paw. He was riling her up on purpose, looking for a fight. He did love his matches with his Beauty. "Speech"

Zee was quite used to Sirius' lack of manners, but this might have been the fastest yet that he'd spun her from pleased to see him towards ready to bite off his manhood. Her soft eyes stared daggers at the idiot as he poked her belly, a quiet growl rumbling up from her chest. "Oh Sirius you always know exactly what to say." She returned, her voice thick with sarcasm and her eyes rolling skyward. The servant girl pulled herself to a stand as gracefully as she could manage after being called fat, then smoothly moved towards him. Her body showed no motion to attack him, and she brought herself closer to nuzzle into his chest as she always did. Thankfully her height and his own were two vastly different numbers and as she pressed her forehead into his chest, her newly grown horns were just the perfect height to hover a safe range away from his head. Regardless, since growing the mutation she'd been careful to keep their sharp points away from him as he did with his fangs. After a moment of soft nuzzles, she'd decided the polite greeting was enough. Without a moment's hesitation she kicked her head upwards slightly, aiming to stab the underside of his muzzle with their tips. The force she put in the motion was not nearly enough to pierce his thick fur and skin in a dangerous way, but hopefully he'd get the point that his remark was absolutely uncalled for... even if it came with a couple teeny dots of drawn blood. "Speech"

Well, it didn’t elicit quite the response he expected as she got to her paws, proud display of antlers angled upwards as she came towards him. The horned woman looked graceful and elegant, delicate on her feet. He might have made a remark on her belly, but in truth she was in good shape. There was a curve to her body that would make any man turn their heads. Of course, if anyone else dared they would lose said extremity. He expected attack, and steeled himself, muscles taunt as she approached him, and rested her head gently against him. She was careful to keep her newly grown weapons away from him, and he smiled down at her as she nuzzled into his chest. A satisfied rumble started in his chest. He might have come here looking for a fight, but he could settle on other pleasures, if she convinced him. He started to relax against her, pressing a kiss to her forehead as he looked down at the wonderful woman he called wife, before she attacked. She drove the point of one horn into his muzzle with enough force to give him a bruise, and earn a few drops of his blood. He grunted and moved to grab her at the base of a horn with his fangs, if he was able to get purchase there. Gripping her horns would give him control of the motions of her head, if he could manage it. His forepaw meanwhile was able to swipe against the front of her right forepaw, the hidden weapon he kept there tilted to cut into her skin if he was able. "Speech"

Zee felt her horns jab into him and for a moment was taken back by the way the movement felt in her skull. It was an odd sensation to get used to, and yet a wave of satisfaction moved through her at her successful assault. Sirius reacted fast as she expected, expertly grasping the base of her horns in his teeth. She knew she couldn't let him maintain control of her head, and so she dipped and turned her head far to the left, hoping to twist his muzzle enough that he'd be forced to release her. His attack for her legs at this stage was predictable, never a spar between them did he not try to sweep the smaller girl off her feet. She knew of his weapons, understood how dangerous his heel against her could be and moved to avoid the grab. She jumped into him - over his swiping paw - and aimed to shove herself against his chest. If he still held her horns it would be an awkward angle for her and the thorn wrapping around them would twist and tug at his lips. If he had released her horns before hand she'd be free to use them to try to jab him further and keep some distance between his jaws and her neck.

He wasn’t accustomed to the smooth bone material of her horns, and as she twisted in his grip, she would pull free and his muzzle would click together with an audible sound and a grunt of pain as his own fangs cut into his lip. He was momentarily distracted by the unpleasant sensation, when she stepped over his paw movement and into his chest. He gave a pleased grunt at the sudden weight of her against him. He wasn’t totally surprised by the swing of her horns towards him, and the wrappings which he had managed to avoid in his first assault would fall against his skin. Zee was turning into quite the brawler, with all sorts of interesting ammunitions under her belt. From her distracting charms, to the thorn wrappings, and her horns themselves. He needed to battle with her more, to become accustomed to fighting a wolf with such an interesting mix. She managed to keep his fangs at bay with her well aimed horns, so he went instead for a height attack, throwing his weight into his hind legs at the Titan threw his legs upwards, moving to place them on each side of her shoulder. If he was able, he would slice his knife into her scruff there. Hit teeth went for her horns again, attempting to avoid the wrapping that protected them from such an attack. He didn’t want them moving freely with his chest so totally open.

Zee immediately felt the pressure on her skull vanish signalling that Sirius had released her horns. He moved towards her as she did, lifting himself to wrap his forelegs around her shoulders. He was quite a bit heavier then she was and her muscles struggled against his weight. She felt the sharp knife dig into her shoulder and did her best to pull away but his hold was too strong on her. She tucked her head as he aimed to grasp her horns once more, pulling them down away from his jaws and using them to try and stab at his chest as it tried to come atop her. If he tried to shove her or throw more of his weight ontop of her, her horns would be in perfect position to dig further and further into his chest assisted by his own heavy weight.

The more she fought, the prouder he became of his lover and pupil. The growth of her horns seemed to give her more courage for a frontal assault against the bigger wolf, and she didn’t flag or hesitate as she sought to skewer him on her fine rank of horns. His knife hit its mark on her shoulder, and her flesh gave beneath its assault. Well, mostly fur. But he thought he caught a hint of blood beneath the silver metal. Perhaps he was simply giddy, caught in the excitement of the battle, and engaging against the love of his life. He would turn her into a driving force, and ensure she could always defend herself. None would ever have the pleasure of taking her life, for she would always have the means of defending it. That was what mattered to the possessive titan. His teeth missed her horns, which she managed to drive into his stomach. He was forced into an interesting predicament, as she held him at bay with the length of her horns, his hands on her shoulders. Instead of continuing onwards, the male, flexible in his choices, would twist, and attempt to drive her to the side and downwards with the weight of his paws. If he could crash her into the earth he could get on top of her without her horns driving him away.

And the winner is...

SIRIUS

ZEITGEIST must give up by submitting, fleeing or passing out. Totals: Zeitgeist: 191.28 Sirius: 446.88

Sirius' weight was too much for the smaller wolf and she collapsed into the ground as her limbs gave out. As her body hit, she let out a loud angry noise - clearly frustrated by the loss. "I don't know why I even try." The servant complained softly, the fire in her eyes dimming considerably. There were only so many times one could lose before they gave up entirely. "Every time I feel like I'm improving you still kick my ass and I'm tired of it." Of course, she'd be more frustrated if he took it easy on her. Even with her amour and companion it was not enough to best her titan - in fact, she couldn't remember winning a fight since that first time Harbringr had asked her to spar with him. Worse yet, that fight was her first ever. How was she capable of winning seasons ago with zero training, but continued to lose and lose after all the hours she'd put into getting better? She flopped her head onto the ground and huffed, letting her body recuperate from the hard fight. "Speech"

He didnt believe in going easy, he wanted her to fight for her wins, and gain them because she was becoming a warrior to fear and not because he handed them to him on a silver platter. Still, when she lost her weight and crashed to the earth, he could see her frustration, palpable in the air between them.

Her defeatist tone made him huff, and he reached over and planted a gently kiss on what ever body part he could reach. "You give me a better run for my blood then the Alpha of a warrior pack and his best Knight. Dont see your loss against me as an indication of your prowess. I lose very few battles, and I will not handle you your win. Know that when you do defeat me-" he spoke as through it was a certainty "-know that's it because you a becoming a wolf this world will fear." He told her, his voice holding a gentlest the rest of the world would never get to see.
