david and goliath

Regardless of what outcome might occur, Artorias felt proud of his fellow Hallowed yearling as she stepped up to him without a trace of hesitation or trepidation. It took a lot of courage to do something unfamiliar, but it took a great deal more to do it in spite of the odds stacked against her. He didn't care for any of that though; as far as Artorias was concerned, Lillith had already won her own victory by stepping into the ring. Whether she was able to physically take him down or not didn't matter, she had proven she had the heart and the determination to do whatever she wanted to do, and that was what he wanted to see in his fellow pack mates.

Lillith looked him over, seeming to consider her options while he simply waited for the fight to start. The Adravendi girl kicked off their spar, circling around him, probably trying to find an opening. Artorias held his ground, his head moving fractions of a degree at a time to keep her within his sight at all times. He body remained tense, nerves poised and ready to react at a moment's notice. Then suddenly Lil was a gray blur coming at him from the side. Predictable, but even knowing it was coming, the girl was quick, her smaller size affording her a wider range of agility. Artorias sprung, lunging with a twist to come at the girl with open jaws snapping down on—nothing.

Artorias blinked in surprise. Lillith had used the sand to slide underneath him when he had turned for her, going completely beneath him and sprinting away from behind him. He turned, finding her with fiery amber eyes and a grin. She was a wily one! With a playful growl, Artorias kicked off after her, pursuing his retreating opponent. If she wanted a chase, he'd give her a chase. He used his superior speed to gain on her, moving to intercept the girl and leap for her, paws outstretched in an attempt to grab her around her midsection as they ran. He had no desire to harm her, but he would definitely entertain her with a bit of wrestling in the dirt of he managed to bring her down.
