so unreal

He was prickly, but as her purple pink gaze took in his stiff movements she could tell he was making the attempt to show her the respect she deserved. Where her mother wished desperately to be loved Venom did not. She couldn’t care any less about such adorations, she wanted respect. A virtue that she would have to earn, not demand. Likely it was the respect the wolf had for Sirius that she was given any kind of reverence.

She let silence fall between them as she peered at him for another moment, debating her next move. Venom was not a wolf to jump into anything without thinking, but as the idea formed she liked it more with each passing moment. ”Spar with me.” Though she formed the statement as a command he could deny her if he wished, not that she expected that. If he was an Armada warrior he would have no problem taking her up on her offer. Lowering her head, tucking her chin, and raising her quilled hackles she stood ready before him. Prompting him to make the first move.

This was a dual test, one to see if he would actually fight her and two to test his strength when he attacked.
