Aesir's Holmgang

After saying her piece Valkyrie became the picture of repose. She sat down and leaned back, her chin held high and her eyes narrowed in a lazy, seemingly dispassionate expression as she listened to the volley of insults hurled at Aesir. Anyone who knew her would know better than to think she felt what she projected or that she would not at a moment's notice make up for her repose with a violent outburst.

And then it was Aesir's turn. Throughout the onslaught he had kept his head held high and weathered it as best as one could. Valkyrie's expression became keener as it became clear he would neither deny the accusations nor be cowed by them. Which would leave his fate up to her. Pointedly she began to click her claws on the hard ground as she listened. Aesir was still speaking but unless he threw out a challenge suddenly at the end she was confident she had the punchline figured out.

Round and round her thoughts went as she decided on a course of action. Her eyes slid to Alfrun and lingered on her for a moment. By now Aesir had wound down though his words still hung in the air. Valkyrie's gaze slid to him and she smirked and loosed a soft laugh before sighing and getting to her paws. "The band has spoken. I have spoken. And you have not mounted much in the way of a defense. What is a Dróttin to do?"

She tsked playfully, her sharp expression undercutting whatever mirth she may have projected. "Let's see what the gods make of you, eh?" Valkyrie launched herself forward without warning. She sought to approach his left side, her chest even with the exterior of his left shoulder. Aesir was bigger and heavier than her so she would shun the normal grappler's attack in favor of a more feline approach. Valkyrie sought to leap onto Aesir's back. Her goal was to drape herself over his shoulders, the claws of her forepaws raking down his side and right shoulder to find purchase on the undersides, while her hind claws kicked and clawed up his left foreleg. Graceless? Yes, but she could do some serious damage in a very short amount of time with all four paws in play.
