Pidge had finally quit grumbling, just hunched on Torrent's shoulders in a fuzzy ball of disgruntled raccoon. Torrent wouldn't have cared if she was still grouching, though, the tall rangy fighter noticeably more relaxed as she stalked through the grassland seeking another fight. Relaxed being relative - compared to most she still moved with the wary elegance of a wild creature, as though each motion was only one step removed from violence. But her expression was remote now, cool as marble rather than eaten up by a restless fury. She paused in her stride, poised there like an ancient greek statue as she tracked the motion of someone's approach.

Áskell was on the hunt for another spar, this time seeking an older opponent. He still wasn't stacking up well against his dad and with dreams of finally besting his father in a spar he sought to try someone tougher. His slim form sauntered through the battlefield until he spied a large woman up ahead. "Hey there!" His tail wagged as he shouted out his greeting to the very tall woman with saber fangs. He still hadn't developed the caution around strangers that his father would prefer.

"You looking for a spar partner? If so, look no further! I'm a lot tougher than I look." He was a solid six months and inching closer to his adult height but it was still obvious he was a pup.

Torrent tilted her head down to study the pup who had come prancing up to challenge her, and after a beat of disdain she snorted and her lip curled to show one fang in something like a grin. "Sure, kid," she told him. "Why not? Show me." Pidge made a faint growl of protest, but climbed down readily enough to free Torrent to move. If the kid wanted a fight, he could have a fight. She'd even do him the favor of not going easy on him - and since she'd already been in two fights in quick succession, she was tired enough that not going easy on him was unlikely to get him seriously injured. Of course if his parents showed up while she was in the middle of fighting with their child that might cause a problem later on, but Torrent dismissed the possibility in favor of the thrill of a fight.

She left only enough time for the raccoon to waddle out of her way before she rushed towards the kid, seeking to slam into him chest to chest with her full weight. He may have been close to reaching his full height, she couldn't tell, but his full height was still considerably smaller than her dire wolf height; the force of the blow could very well stagger him if not throw him back entirely. She didn't bother to use her fangs, knowing as she did that the length of them would cause serious damage even to an adult, and while she didn't want to go easy on him she didn't want to kill some kid either.

Áskell prepped himself as he set his defenses, making sure to pin his ears and tuck his tail. In all honesty he was nervous. He saw the woman's teeth and he shuddered at the idea of being bitten. He'd have to be careful and be evasive. His magpie took to the sky and soon the fight started. The woman charged at him and he leapt forward to try and race along her left side. However, he moved a bit to slow and her chest collided into his right hip and caused him to stumble. He quickly pulled his hind legs underneath himself, his jaws snapping for the woman's left knee as he had yet to fully stand up from his stumble.

The little rodent was fast, she'd give him that much. He went racing past her, nearly escaping entirely before she struck his hip instead. He nearly went down, and was quick to aim a snap at her knee. Torrent pivoted her hindquarters away from him, spinning on her forelegs just enough to face perpendicular to where she'd been, towards the boy. She dropped into a crouch as she did and shoved forward with her head, aiming to bring it beneath the kid's belly as her legs straightened and propelled her up and forward, hoping to fling him. He wasn't an infant, so a little flying lesson wouldn't hurt him, though she thought if she wasn't lucky enough to hit just right to send him flying she might hope to knock the wind out of him.

The woman rotated away from him and his fangs missed seizing a hold. She dropped into a crouch to try and he felt her head start to shovel underneath him. Instinctively he curled in, his tail pinned to his belly while his ears remained pinned to his head. As he curled in his fangs sought to grab ahold of Torrent's scruff, just at the base of her skull as he hoped to maybe prevent himself from flying completely onto the ground. If he could get a good hold he might have some leverage not to fall completely on the ground and if he failed to keep his hold perhaps he could use the unexpected momentum to deal more damage as the force of his body weight would tear the woman's skin should his fangs find purchase.
