The one other warrior within the pack that he had spent some time with, he was beginning to grow a reluctant respect for. It also helped that he heard of the match between Zee and Harbringr. It meant Zee wouldn’t enter this fight simply afraid, or taking on a new challenger. Instead, what was new here would be the layout of the fight itself.
He was determined to get Zee strong and practised when it came to battle, and had already pushed her into multiple spars just him and her. It was time he changed things up, and gave her something new to learn.
He set himself by Wolfpaws lake, but not close to the water’s edge. He was certain today Zee would have enough on her plate without trying to lead him into the water. He raised his head to howl for Harbringr, so he could talk first to the man.

But the devil always won...
Harbringr paced about his kiln. It was a work in progress made of hardened clay and with the right workings of fire it was getting hot enough to melt iron. However there was an issue with fanning the flames inside the kiln and further more the matter of working metal with it. He was bringing back supplies to address both issues when he heard Sirius calling for him. Curious he quickly went back to his den to deposit the items he had gathered and then, with a nod to Ari and Costanza, he took off in the direction of the call. He soon found Sirius near the lake and he approached the other with a grin before dipping his head respectfully. "Hello Sirius, what can I do for you?"
He felt the shock of it, as Harbringr appeared, and gave him a nod of respect. As Sirius began to accept his role within the pack as more than a slave, and figure out his duties beyond caring for Deathbelle, he had felt resentment and surprise from a lot of the Klein’s. Realising Harbringr, who had only laughed and enjoyed himself the day Sirius had attacked him, did not feel this way… he felt a sudden and unexpected surge of appreciation for the man. Who did not judge him in a world where Sirius himself did not know who he was.
He shook off the feeling , and returned the nod back to the man. He needed to focus on the task at hand. Doubly grateful he had picked Habringr, he gave the man I smile. “I have an idea to propose, if your willing” he began “I have been teaching Zee to fight, and want to change things up. I haven’t had a Melee fight since.. Before we came to this land, so I’m a bit rusty myself, but if your interested, the three of us could practice one right here” he said, eyeing the man carefully to gouge his reaction.

Harbringr inclined his head as Sirius spoke of an idea. Costanza settled in a nearby tree while Ari sat down to listen as well. Sirius spoke of training Zee to fight and Hari grinned at the mention of the woman he'd sparred and fought a bear with. "She's a fierce little thing isn't she! I'd be delighted to take on both of you in a melee fight." It would be an excellent shot at a rematch on both accounts. After all, he'd lost previous battles to both Sirius and Zeitgeist. "Are our companions to be included as well?" He could understand if for simplicity's sake the man would prefer to keep it between the wolves for now but he thought he'd ask just in case. Though Ari might participate in an actual attack, Costanza would only observe as she usually did whenever he entered into battle.
“She is at that” Sirius agreed, raising a brow as he looked to Habringr, wondering at the respect he heard in his tone as he spoke of Sirius’s wife. For the moment, he was inclined to believe it was nothing more than respect between warriors, which for some reason Hari was extending to him, as well.
“Companions should be fine, I’m training a Snow Leopard at the moment as well, so she can learn a little from this” he explained. The cub was still young, so she would only be on the outskirts of the fight, but he wasn’t fussed. The only one who might be upset with bringing a cub into battle was Zee. she had weird scripples sometimes. “I’ll call my Wife now” he said, taking a step back so he didn’t deafen Harbringr, before raising his head and howling to Zee.
