Steel wasn't quite sure if he had expected to win or not. Part of him had hoped that, as inexperienced as he was, that the sheer will he had in protecting his family might give him the advantage. Of course, he'd been sorely mistaken.

He felt defeated. Luckily Jade hadn't gotten into a fight, but Sterling seemed to be holding her ground - as much as he could tell - and Esarosa hadn't gotten targeted either. He was sure his daughter would be fine, though it was hard to think about much the way he felt his face suddenly aching. As soon as he realized he was defeated he had submitted, slinking off like a pup with his tail between his legs. Pathetic. He would've cursed at himself if he wasn't so fatigued, and if the side of his face wasn't throbbing painfully.

He'd felt the blood start trickling down his cheek as soon as the bite had landed, and only as he walked away did he realize how serious his injuries were. Not fatal, but certainly something that would give him permanent scars. His entire right side ached, and he found himself limping slightly as he padded away from the battle. Gingerly his tongue left his mouth to lap at his lips, removing some of the blood that had dried there. Steel sniffed lightly at the air, following the scents of his packmates away from Celestial's lands, toward where they'd decided to gather after the raid.

He felt vaguely grateful when Arke came into view, his gait slowly as he let out a quiet huff in greeting. It was obvious he hadn't come out on top, though he hoped overall that Talis might succeed, and he wasn't particularly interested in discussing it.
