they grow up so fast

to her surprise, a young girl would answer. though it looked like she was nearly yearling age, her size was already quite large. she seemed uncertain about being here, and the alabaster woman attempted to smile reassuringly to her eagerness. even if she was a child, she was still a worthy opponent. she would be treated with the respect she deserved. "yes, we fight now" came Heloise's reply, dropping into a defensive stance herself. there was another bird - Kresnik had taken to the sky from a low hanging branch - with the girl. a familiar. Thoren's words echoed in her ears. many had birds in this land, and she wondered why they had taken a shine to the avians.

but there was no point dwelling on it. the fight had already begun. after some consideration, that is. the girl would lunge at Heloise, who backed away quickly to avoid them. she'd turn on the spot - pivot really - and throw her body against the girl's side. hoping to wind her, or stun her. her head was at the girl's rear by now, her own rear exposed to the jaws of the girl. this was a friendly spar, though, so Heloise felt no shame in showing a bit of an opening. if anything, it would boost the girl's confidence in herself if she got some attacks in. the alabaster woman hoped for this; it had taken courage to face an older opponent. but hesitation in a real fight would be the girl's downfall.
