"Go and Wander." Said my heart.
...and so I would wander.

For a long moment Ellis just froze. She wasn't sure what she had been expecting, having shown up to the tourny and all with her herbs. But still, being asked to fight, even anyone, scared the woman to death. It was a spar she tried to remind herself, but that didn't do much to help. She wasn't a fighter. Gods above she wasn't a fighter! The healer tried to breathe in, glancing towards her golden opponent. Not much larger than she was, really. The female would glance at her herbs and, after a moment of hesitation, the female would grab up the herbs and move off to an area not so crowded, so she could come to face her opponent. There was no doubt in her mind that she was going to fail here, fail hard, and make Imperium look like a joke.

The healer would set her bundle of herbs down again, her gaze shifting to her opponent. Her ears would give a nervous twice, laying back closer to her head. Eyes would narrow slightly, though the shine of worry and uncertainty was clear. Her stance was widened, bent at the knees. Her tail was tucked, a whine, although quiet, would escape her. "You uh... you can go first." She would say softly. She was shaking, she was sure of it. 'I'm pathetic...' The female would think, clenching her teeth. She was going to need all the guidance of the gods to make it through this.

"Listen to me talk," 'but read my thoughts.'

"Settle down." Said my heart.
...and so here it was I would settle down.

She was getting used to hearing her name at these events, despite that she wasn’t happy. This was more punishment than looking after the pups would be. Though as she glanced at her sparring partner it seemed her partner felt much the same way she did. The woman looked down at something at her paws, and then rose up. Freya joined her as she passed, summoning a small smile for her petrified partner. Facing the woman the golden girl couldn’t help the trepidation creeping up within her. The woman looked so very scared and Freya wasn’t quite sure what to say or do. The woman offered to allow her to go first and Freya nodded. Words bubbling forth without much thought, the hint of a laugh in her tone. "Though I don’t know how much good it’ll do me… " She set herself up, doing her best to remember what she did during her last fight. "The last fight I was in was against a pup and the worst I managed was to give him a headache." He knees bent, something she had picked up from seeing some of her pack mates fight. Ears pulled back against her head and her eyes narrowed. The girl began a slow approach, eyeing her opponent, though not unkindly. The fur along her spine rose, more out of instinct than any fighting knowledge and she stalked to her right. With a playful growl she charged towards the woman, throwing her weight at where she hoped her partner’s left side would be. Ineffectual perhaps but she would be damned if she actually hurt the woman. Ellis vs. Freya 1/2 Attacks: Attempting to slam into Ellis’ left side (General area) Defenses: Bent knees, narrowed eyes, hackles raised, ears back. OOC.
