He stood calmly as he watched her, noticing her excitement grow, and as she spoke to offer her name as ask his, he felt his anticipation grow as well. It wasn't often that one got a second chance to prove themselves like this. A fair rematch. He really enjoyed the idea of this. "Good to know you, Karabela," he said with a dip of his head, his tail lashing enthusiastically "Call me Xephyris." He had his reasons for behaving so politely. He didn't need for this to be a blood bath when it would simply be just another test of his strength, and a chance at redeeming himself from fight in which he'd been outnumbered. He also simply wanted to make a good impression; he wasn't a maniac looking for blood, but he was an eager fighter seeking redemption. He was glad for the opportunity, and he began to square himself up, head-to-head at 10 ft. with his opponent as she shifted her position into a ready fighting stance.

She asked him if he was ready to do this now, and he nodded with a blink of his silver eyes. "No better time than the present," he rumbled. There was no need to wait. His body sank into a ready stance. Paws spread into an even and widened stance as he familiarized himself with the feel of sand beneath his feet, knees and elbows bending to give him flexibility. His toes splayed in the soft ground, nails digging in for traction. His head lowered to align with his spine, tail aligning with his spine at the same time. His chin tucked over his throat defensively, hackles raising to create a buffer between his opponent's fangs and his skin. His muzzle wrinkled up in a snarl, the skin around his face and eyes crinkling to protect himself, eyes narrowing as he did so. Finally, his shoulders rolled forward, rolls of fat bunching up around his neck for extra protection. "Normally I'd say ladies first, but I'm a little eager today," he said, smirking as he made his move.

The muscles in his legs coiled before springing into action as he tried to make his way toward his opponent. Xephyris attempted to close the distance between them swiftly, hoping to close 10 ft. of distance in a few mighty bounds. He darted slightly to his left and curved his body sharply to the right as he attempted to take siege on her right side, shifting his weight to hind limbs so that he could thrust forward his right shoulder, aiming to slam the bony part of his right shoulder blade into the middle of the meaty part of her shoulder, behind her shoulder blade, with the intention of leaving a moderate bruise there. Quickly following, he would attempt to thrust the mid-front of his chest into the dip where her shoulder met with her ribcage, in hopes of leaving her with at least a mild bruise. Then he would tip his head sharply to his right at a nearly horizontal angle, his jaws parting wide as he aimed for the forefront of her shoulder - his upper jaw aimed to snag her flesh in front of her shoulder blade where the shoulder met with the chest, and his lower jaw aimed to sink into the thick muscle of her shoulder a few inches above her elbow. Lastly, he lifted his right forepaw, balancing his weight upon his 3 grounded limbs, as he aimed to stomp his right forepaw down upon her own right forepaw, in hopes of inflicting a mild fracture to her two outer toes.
