The sun was just raising up in the sky, puffy clouds could be seen farther out. Would they stay white or start to darken? Either way they weren't close and so far no strong winds to blow them in. Naiche was watching for fish towards the edge of the water. It would be great if he caught one but not a real concern. Naiche was mostly here waiting to see if an opportunity would come up for a fight but it wasn't very productive to sit and wait.

Naiche did best hunting in low grass or rocky areas so fishing was not a strong point. There was no time like the present to practice and he was quickly finding fishing could be an excellent source of food if one is desperate. Naiche doubted he would ever be desperate for food again but the wheat-colored wolf likewise believed that one should always learn as much as possible. No one planned or expected big changes in life but they were real. What made fishing great? It didn't take as much energy as chasing down an animal. Naiche knew it sounded lazy but energy was not a thing to waste lightly, there could be times conserving energy was the only way to live. The young would wondered if he would ever stop thinking of everything as how to survive, or even if he should. Was it paranoia or good sense?

He snapped at another fish in the water, and while he missed that didn't bother him. All things take time. Naiche turned his head to look back at the battle area. Fishing was really just a thing to do while waiting for the more important matter, aiming to find someone else wanting a good spar.

Dunkan was on one of the patrollings he often dia during the day,taking his time to cover the extension of the Armada's claimed space. Calm and rush less the male walked with his Jaguar walking beside him. Both grew more and more united,as true friends. That was weird,Dunkan wasn't one to consider anyone his friend,he was a very solitary wolf for his age and for being a pack wolf. He only minded his tasks,his training and anything related to his rank,things beyond that were ignored or disregarded.

There he moved to the Sea's plains finding a golden wolf fishing. This was someone new and he felt it right to welcome the new packmate. He approached his way attempting to stop by a few steps beside him. "Hello,I am Dunkan Sarcova a warrior. I'll like to welcome you to the Armada." Cold but honest he spoke the male sitting where he was standing.

The water dripped off his muzzle as Naiche watched the fishes dart about.  The sound of paw steps sand then a voice had Naiche's head turn.  Perfect.  Hopefully, this wolf would want to spar.  Hopefully, it was competent enough for Naiche to learn from the spar.  Naiche preferred to win but if he lost it meant there were lessons, he could learn from such a fight.  

Naiche approved of his greeting.  Name, rank and greetings offered with no other rambling chatter.  Naiche turned his body to fully face the brown and white wolf.  Naiche observed he was taller, but not to the same degree as some wolves here.  The jaguar also got a momentary look, it was a more substantial companion than some of the smaller creatures he'd noticed.  Naiche wasn't too sure he really wanted some other animal constantly beside him.

"The names Naiche.  Thank you for the greeting." Only a moment pause before adding, "You mentioned being a warrior.  I'm sure you have plenty of jobs to be done, but would you have time for a fight? I need practice."  This guy didn't seem to care about small talk, Naiche didn't care about small talk, so why have it?

Naiche took a few steps forward, just enough to get his feet out of the water. The guy was a good bit bulkier than Naiche, but that was pretty normal.  Naiche would never have the muscle of some, but he had pretty good stamina and some speed.  Naiche needed more of both to give him any sort of edge.

"Speech"

"You mentioned being a warrior.  I'm sure you have plenty of jobs to be done, but would you have time for a fight? I need practice." He nodded. "We'll welcome some practice. Count in me." He would never deny any chances for fighting and improving his skills as much as he could. If he wanted to get to an excellent level he needed all the training he could possible get and here was one so he was right to the approval of the spar. Taking some time to think he nodded. Urasa appeared to his left side. "Who should start? Me or you?" He offered them the choice this time, sometimes he wanted to do so to show courtesy.

Naiche made his way into the battle ring the moment he got the affirmation.  The other wolf was offering a choice of who to start? Naiche stretched his chest down low and neck out all the way, rump up in the air. That felt good,  loosening up his muscles before he aimed for a victor.  "I suggested the spar, so it seems fair you get to start."  Naiche had imagined that they would start at the same time, or at least whomever was quickest.  

With the stretch done the wheat-furred wolf lowered his head to be even with his neck, tail horizontal to his body and stiff.  His eyes watched Dunkan's every movement.  Naiche was working on trying to pay attention to minor movements and searching for weaknesses.  The young imagined he was still missing details, but he would get better!  That rush of blood, the surge of energy he got before the fight began, it was becoming intoxicating.  Eyes shining brightly with all his energy, "When you're ready."

Dunkan nodded at the male's permission to start.before anything he settled his defenses starting with placing his tail between his legs, ears folded against his skull, eyes narrowed and hackles rose for dominance. Legs bent for balance and he lowered his body a bit to keep a steady gravity center. Then he waited to want and then from nowhere she exploded forward, attempting to close the distance and running fast as he did, then when he saw it fine he turned to his left to for a T shape with Naiche at the top,if his movement was fine he would then attempt to smash his left shoulder against Naiche's rip cage, aiming to maybe knock him off the air. Urasa sneaked to get behind Niche waiting for the time for him to step in.

The brown wolf wasn't exceedingly taller but he certainly had a lot more bulk to deal with.  How would Naiche fight this time?  He had been playing aggressively up till now. Did Naiche want to change things up and attempt to find an opening instead of going head to head?  The reason for the charging start against the larger and bulkier wolves was hoping to surprise them but it did put him at even more of a disadvantage.  It was fun to charge, but perhaps he should try something new?

Naiche got in a good balanced position.  He wanted to meet the wolf head on! The blood pulsing in his veins, heart hammering with excitement If he didn't get his emotions under control before a fight he'd end up in trouble ignoring logic to simply shed blood.

The wolf was charging! Even as he was reacting to the wolfs charge he sensed the cat moving behind him. Two opponents? Naiche forced the hesitation away on how to handle it. Naiche leapt away from the incoming wolf, but it would put him closer to the jaguar.  He hadn't wanted to do that but his mind was juggling through how to manage both. The lithe wolf would make snap for the cat's face.  He didn't care if he connected or not, it was mostly to try and force it back even as his head snapped around so his body was ready to either meet an attack from the wolf or charge at it himself.

Naiche was confused, his attacks right now were wilder hoping to get a good bite in even as the tan colored wolf struggled for a strategy.

Dunkan approached with the intentions of smashing himself against the smaller wolf, unsure about what his opponent would do he would then attempt to wrap his legs around Naiche's shoulders,back legs and paws spread to try gaining a firm support for his now lifted weight. But it seemed the tan wolf went for Urasa, and in a wild manner, the smaller wolf went to try snapping at anything that Niache could get. Confused Dunkan didnt know what to do but all he could think of was to snap at the male's scruff. Urasa moved from the wolf's jaws to try turning to Naiche's left frank and would attempt to bite on the tan wolf's left back leg trying to pull it slightly for distraction.

Naiche was hating himself for his earlier insecurity.  Never, never would Naiche hesitate again.  That moment was passed and replaced with newfound determination. The wheat-coated wolf felt Dunkan’s weight on him, lunging forward then spinning sideways towards the wolf to try and both get Dunkan’s weight off of him and bite at the brown wolf’s scruff ior whwatever he could reach nstead.  Focusing on Dunkan meant not being able to give much attention to the cat.

Naiche didn’t attempt to dodge the cat’s bite, didn’t even seem aware of it until the cat connected.  With his attempt to get Dunkan off of him Naiche’s movements would hopefully keep the cat from getting a second chance.  Whether that worked or not didn’t matter.   The plan was flawed but simple.  Do all in his power to attack Dunkan and worry about the cat only if avoiding it didn’t mean losing a chance to attack Dunkan.

Finaly Naiche fought with more clear attacks, easier for him to react to. The male under him moved side to side to take him off.Dunkan attempted to increase his hold, spreading his fingers more in the soil.But then in one of Naiche's moves, he managed to grab Dunkan's scruff, making the warrior realize his hold. Landing his front paws again into the ground he would then attempt to turn his head to his left, aiming to catch the male's face, exactly on their cheek. Ursa kept with his attempt to catch the tan male's leg to distract him. Dunkan's ears were pinned and hackles at full height to try shielding his scruff a bit more.

Naiche wasn't going to let go! In fact, the smaller wolf just gritted his teeth down.  The young wolf had a feeling if he let go, he'd lose and that wasn't allowed after the horrible beginning.  Naiche attempted to turn sideways so he would be standing beside Dunkan as much as possible instead of facing his shoulder.  The ability was limited so long as he was holding the wolf's scruff, but he'd take what he could get.  Naiche attempted to hop up enough to get a front leg over Dunkan's shoulder attempting to knock him off balance.

Dunkan snapped at his teeth, and Naiche closed an eye out of instinct.  The cat was at his back leg and Naiche had no idea how to handle that with pressing his weight on Dunkan at the same time.  Unless he got Dunkan down Naiche would lose and even if he got lucky and went down this was clearly not the right way to handle being teamed up on.
