Fighting Giants

His first reaction was to laugh, to tell the man he could go fuck himself, and to leave. Though Azure was attempting to win this Heir race. Enough wolves had told him how unpleasant his attitude was compared to Mortis', and it seemed one of those key personality traits Az needed to learn to fake was empathy and helpfulness. If anything, accepting Naiche's offer would allow him to bruise and bloody the man without consequence.

He rumbled some noise of half-hearted confirmation then nodded, getting to his feet to face the man. "Usually I'd vote you find someone of your own skill level." Az started, trying to sound more like a wise wolf imparting knowledge and less like a teenager subtley throwing insult. "Though I suppose you don't have as much choice in opponent when you're looking for a specific height." As he spoke Az used his curved claws to unclip his armor, letting the condor-wing armor down to the ground gently before unbuckling his bracers. Realizing his intention, Diablo and Lilith split from his side. The bat perched himself upon the training dummy to watch, the leopard scaling a nearby tree for a rarely-allowed power nap.  

The big yearling shook out his fur, feeling lighter without the armor upon his back. Into his fighting stance he slid, legs spreading to lower his center of gravity. Paws flexed, the long curved claws he bore digging furrows into the ground. Az's ears were already tattered by battle and so he'd learned quickly to pin them to his skull to keep them away from snapping jaws. Lastly was an intimidation tactic, his lips curling to display his teeth in a bold snarl. "Your move." Unless of course, Naiche chickened out. Azure was not a kind enough wolf to hold back in his sparring.  Though he'd been told enough times to avoid permanent injury, it did not mean his opponents came away without a bit less blood then they'd started with.
