This land was nearly as familiar to him as those he had grown up in, being by nature a fighter and growing up in a pack and a family of fighters and this being the best place for him to find strangers willing to fight. In fact, that was precisely why he was there! Fighting, like all skills, could get rusty with disuse. In the world he lived in, the way he lived in it, losing a fight could end with him badly maimed or dead - rusty skills weren't acceptable. Wendigo stretched and yawned, casually tapping his steel claws against a rock and surveying the plain through half-lidded eyes. He wondered if he ought to get a pair of companions - or three, or whatever - like his father's owls. He'd worked with a pair of jackels for a while, and they'd been pretty great in a fight and could be great for being intimidating when needed, but they'd stayed in their homeland when he'd returned to his. He could use another team like that... For now though... it was well past time to scrub the rust off his joints and sharpen himself. Lifting his heavy head he called lazily for an opponent willing to pit their skills against his. Maybe he'd even find someone worthy of extending a future invitation to his planned reivers.

Attitudes in the band had been more snarky than usual. Rather than subjecting herself to the ambivalence of others, Kaino had decided to go walkabout. The lavender fae often felt the almost itchy need to just go go go. Her paws ate up the land as she burned off the first blistering wave of energy. After that, Kaino moved along at a comfortable lope, her long, lean body used to such a pace.

While she moved, a howl rang out and Kai slowed to a stop. The fae's ears shifted and she looked in the direction of the howl. A battle? A fight? An invitation either way. With a shrug, Kaino moved into the battlefield and towards a big man that waited there. He was obviously larger than she was, but that didn't mean much. There would always be someone bigger. It all came down to skill in the end.

Kaino decided to forego the pleasantries of introductions, instead flashing the brute a grin and a slight nod of greeting. One silvered paw rose and swept out over the space between them. "Shall we then?" Without waiting for an answer, the woman's stature shifted completely. Though relatively good natured and a little silly at times, she was a hardened fighter, as all Saxe were supposed to be.

Kai made her way straight for him, coat bristling. The fae intended to slam into the man, jaws opening while her neck curled to her right to try and bite into the left side of his neck. One paw moved to simultaneously hook behind his left foreleg to hold him close and separate his attention.

The woman who answered his call wasted little time with pleasantries, drawing a lazy, appreciative grin from the big wolf. While he could certainly enjoy a bit of back and forth to build up to the big event, he could definitely appreciate someone who knew exactly what they wanted and got right into it without any preamble, though only when what they wanted matched what he wanted - he was selfish like that. He was intrigued by how much she resembled him, though light to his dark. She was even equipped similarly. If he didn't know better, he might have thought that she was one of his cousins from his father's extended family from Fireside.

A growl of anticipation rumbled between them as she closed the distance, and he set himself to take her slighter weight. At the last second he slammed his weight forward to meet her instead, seeking to meet her with bruising impact. Her jaws fasted into the loose skin, fur, scales, and meat of his neck - the pain brought an adrenaline tingle from his ears to his toes, and he turned his own head towards her with an eager snarl to attempt to close his own jaws over her left ear and cheek. He lifted his steel-and-leather clad left paw, letting her paw bear his towards her as he twisted his paw to face upward, metal claws seeking to scrape lacerations along her underbelly and chest. Carefully, carefully - he didn't want to disembowel her, just.. cut her.

As they came in close to one another, the brute reacted similarly with skill and eagerness. Something within Kaino sang and she couldn't help but smile a bit as they inflicted mutual pain upon one another. He'd barreled towards her at the last moment but Kai held her own, planting hind paws. She skidded a bit due to his superior weight, but she didn't fall.

Her teeth bit into his neck and she pushed forward, keeping her face from the worst of his bite simply by getting closer. Beneath her, she could feel the graze of claws and she turned her own wrist, replying in kind by flexing that wrist to potentially slice her own clawed weapon across the tender flesh where elbow connected to the barrel of his body. They'd both come a way bloodied most likely, but that was the name of the game and Kai wouldn't hold it against him.

His bid to take her face in his jaws foiled by her pressing in closer, Wendigo used that momentum to shift targets, jaws aimed to sink into the back of her neck just above her shoulders. A deep growl echoed in his chest as he did, though, wincing when her own clawed weapon sliced into the skin between his upper arm and his ribs. That was going to be an absolute bitch all while it healed, if experience told him anything. For now he could ignore it, half-rearing to attempt to wrap his forelegs around her chest, claws seeking a grip on her back and blood staining the white of her pelt as he bore down on her with his jaws and his weight, grappling and attempting to twist their shared balance enough to throw her.
