Sitka was mildly annoyed by the girl's refusal to do anything but stand there and take the abuse he was throwing at her. She looked like she was trying to tune him out, but once his paw made contact with her, then the tone shifted. She deftly dodged his second swipe, and then to his surprise, she shouted out and lunged for him, thrashing with wild and haphazard attacks at him. Sitka recoiled to avoid a flailing paw coming at him, her hard head ramming into his shoulder with enough force to shove him back a step. Her paws swiped at his legs, the only part of him directly on her height level. He scowled and shook his head slowly. She had spunk and a fire in her belly, but she was reckless and inexperienced. It was like watching an amateur attempt to compete with a professional. All the gumption in the world wouldn't give her what she needed.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he snarled down at her, shoving himself forward again in an attempt to push her back. Now that he knew she was pretty much no threat, he didn't feel the need to smack or claw at her. He could just shove her around and she'd probably fold like a house of cards. "I said, fight me! Hurt me! Is that the best you can do?" He didn't know the meaning of her cried out words, but she clearly wasn't mentally here with him right now.
After a few more moments, Sitka raised a paw with the intention to press it to her chest and push her back onto her rump. "STOP!" he bellowed, fixing hardened eyes onto the smaller girl. This was just getting sad now and he really didn't want to see this young woman embarrass herself more than she already had. "How do you expect to be brave if you can't even control yourself? I said be stupid, not lose control." He gazed down at her with a slight scowl, considering her for a moment. She was an odd one, that was for sure. But she had passion and spirit, he would give her that. She looked like she was desperate to prove herself, lost and trying to find her place. Stupid girl. She wouldn't find anything good here with him. Anything good in him had died long ago.
