never forget to show your true colors

As expected, Tenshi is an experienced foe. Sayuri does not hope to win, only to place. She is rushed and accepted immediately, with Tenshi throwing dirt up to confuse. Sayuri lets out a hiss of surprise - wondering how the wolves of Tojo-kai could learn such a dirty trick. They all seemed to be... rigid. Too traditional and bound by honor. She is pleased with this turn of events. Perhaps there was hope for them yet. However, Tenshi's grasp on her neck slips through. Sayuri had backed up once the dirt was thrown, expecting more. The woman's jaws sail through her neck.

Once the vision clears, she is able to see Tenshi attempting to dance circles around her. Sayuri hops back again before she lunges, snapping her jaws closed around the sheathed dagger for support. She aims a quick jab in the center of Tenshi's chest with the blade's end, her own hips swaying as she pivots. Whether it hits true or not is not concerned for long. She only hopes to distract or wind her pack mate. Getting close enough was the main goal here; Sayuri attempts to move closer as she dances, keeping a not-so-safe distance between them.

Tenshi would use her weight and size. Sayuri would use her speed and agility. Her endurance was acceptable too.
