Bylgja did prefer the Maw to the Steppe, but the stones were pleasant enough to behold. She moved over grasses with a delicate step -- well. As delicate as her steps got, which wasn't saying much at all. She was large, but not as large as the others of her pack; several of them were bigger than her, and that was on its own incredibly impressive.
The tattooed woman circled, once, and then sat in the grass before throwing her head back and calling to her packmates:
"Packmates! Come, tussle with me!*" Sure, she was a healer, technically, but that didn't mean she had to be a pacifist. It meant, in fact, that she could not be a pacifist at all; that was the path to ruin, if you asked her. "Let me test myself against you!*" She called in Norse, of course.
Not all of the pack could understand it, but that was fine by her; she could and would translate for any who came by to see what the hollering was about. Her tongue rolled over her jaws, and Bylgja waited, ears perked forward and eyes wide. Her strong form practically trembled with excitement, for this would be a wonderful time, win or lose.

The snowy peaks of Fenrir’s Maw have quickly become the rotund girl’s favorite place since the soft powder offers a wonderful way to cool off. Unagi has found that burying herself in the snow not only offers a chance to escape the heat that her body produces when she exercises but allows her a chance to watch her packmates without being too intrusive. Today though, she is not hidden underneath the cold blanket of white but, instead, is descending from the towering heights down to the Steppes in the hopes of catching some unsuspecting prey.
A call is issued from the lands ahead of her, the words spoken in a tongue unknown to the girl but the intent behind it rings clear. Someone wishes to fight and the girl is all too eager to answer. Black and white paws quickly pick their way down to the grass and, from there, the tall, slightly round pup quickly moves to answer the challenge. Arriving at a trot, Unagi slows her pace until she has stopped a few feet from the unknown female. Tilting her head to the side, the girl asses the strange, tattooed woman before offering up her own name, “I’m Unagi.”
Words are a frivolous commodity and no more needed than what she offers. Paws spread until they shoulder width apart and the girl quickly sets her defenses in preparation for the fight ahead, ready and more than willing to spar.

She did not have to wait long. When Bylgja saw the younger wolf approaching, her ears struck forward and she watched, keenly. The wolf didn't quite appear to know what Bylgja was saying, but she did look eager for a fight, given the introduction and her stance. Bylgja's jaws parted and she grinned, wide. Powerful.
"Well met, Unagi!" Her accent boomed out of her; that voice was deep. The stranger readied herself, and Bylgja allowed her that. She shook out her coat, lowered her head, and -- charged.
Bylgja lurched forward. Her goal was a simple one: close the distance and slam shoulder to shoulder to knock the black-and-white girl off of her feet and send her sprawling atop the grass. Bylgja was here to tussle, after all, not to fight to the death or cause permanent harm.

A grin is flashed at the woman as the stranger greets her in thickly accented tones and Unagi is quick to set her defenses. Just as her ears pin back, eyes narrow, and lips raise, the tattooed wolf kicks off the fight by charging straight at the girl. While Unagi isn’t quite at her full her height, the large, monochrome pup does, at least, have one thing going for her; her bulk. Toes splay to grip the earth as she steels herself for the impact to come, shifting forward ever so slightly so that the woman will slam into a brick wall.
The impact jars her, rattling the girl’s teeth and causing her claws to dig deep furrows into the ground as she is pushed backward. A grunted growl is released in response but a smile flickers across her lips. Weight shifts into her hind legs and Unagi lifts her front end off the ground, aiming to try and wrap her front legs around the older wolf’s shoulders in a bid to gain control. At the same time, she strikes out, aiming a bite at the top of the woman’s head in the hopes to pinch the skin there. While the bite is meant to hurt, it will leave any lasting damage if she hits since this is a friendly spar.
