Ashen Tournament Round 1 Aris x Kotori

Somehow Aris always seemed to end up paired up with at least one of her siblings at these tournaments, which was kind of weird. Like, there weren't actually that many in her litter that went in for tournaments so it had to be at least unlikely that they ended up paired in the first round, and yet??? And this time it was Kotori, who was always so condescending about her size and for some reason, the fact that she didn't have a penis because apparently that mattered so much to people, so of course it was going to be a major headache for her if she lost.

She rolled her eyes at his dramatic speech. "Oh for fuck's sake Ko just put up or shut up." She gave herself a thorough shake to loosen up, then fell into the loose fighting stance almost lazily, spines along her back raised like the crest of some fuzzy dinosaur to ward off bites around her shoulders and back.

As soon as she had, Kotori ran at her. It was almost always what larger wolves tried to do, use their larger bodies and heavier weight to shove smaller wolves around, so Aris was ready and leaped forward and to the side to avoid the hit and instead come up parallel to him. Pivoting towards him she slashed at his ribs with both claws and teeth, but didn't attempt to get a grip on him. She needed to be able to stay mobile or he'd just run right over her.
