come at me, bro

Though Caelia was somewhat uncertain about facing off with a complete stranger, she knew it was what needed to be done to give her more fight experience. Sparring with her pack would only get her so far, unfortunately. On the other paw though, strangers could be unpredictable, and could she trust a complete stranger to not go overboard? She had to hope she had the foresight to know to pull away if something was about to go wrong. If Caelia was anything, it was observant - so she had to trust her own instincts.

Luckily, the male that answered her call didn't seem immediately threatening. He was quite a bit larger than her, to an intimidating degree, but he had an air of friendliness to him that was undeniable. "Hello," she answered him cordially, friendly enough that her intentions wouldn't be mistaken, but ever-stiff and reigned in. "I don't mind at all. The first move's yours," she offered him, which only seemed fair as she'd been the one calling for a partner in the first place. Caelia didn't care who he was, not really, and had no real need to offer up her own name unless he requested it. Not sure how quickly he'd move to strike, she steadied her limbs and shifted subtly into a more defensive position as her eyes locked on him and waited for a sign of movement.
