Time to find his place? If there had been a shred of a question on how that was determined it was answered quickly enough.  He was going to fight Sirius to prove it?  Did he have to win to be of any good or just not lose too fast?  Either way, when he had first met Sirius he had been careful not wanting to start a fight with the large wolf.  Now that he could trust the giant didn’t intend to kill him Naiche found it a great idea.

Naiche followed him into one of the rings, the wheels in his mind churching at max-speed to try and figure out anyway to fight that could give him an edge.  The smaller knew the odds to win were against him, but this was not the time to believe it impossible.  Going into a fight expecting to lose would just harm yourself.  Naiche imagined he would need to surprise Sirius somehow, find a way to do something unexpected.  The wolf had surely far more fighting experience, how could he possibly surprise him?

All the thoughts rushing around and suddenly he was in the ring also.  No plan coming to his mind yet.  Well, he’d just have to wing it!  Maybe if Naiche had no set plan Sirius at least wouldn’t be able to figure out his plan of attack?  Head? Legs? Back?

When Sirius asked if Naiche if he was ready, Naiche slowed all the buzzing thoughts.  Foolish to over think.  Instead he felt the ground under his paws, felt how his own muscles shifted with the smallest of motions.  He watched Sirius closely, trying to get a feel for what the other wolf would do.  Planning a fight with too many unknowns would get him nowhere.  Acting in the now had been his biggest key to surviving while alone.  It was his senses and instinct that he would rely on now.

“I’m ready.” Even as he said it Naiche felt his heart beat pick up.  It wasn’t fear, it was that rush that came with a good challenge.  Naiche didn’t want to survive, he wanted to win.  He wanted to beat the mighty warlord.  Not tomorrow, now.
