She dropped her blade.

Sayuri knew if she kept her jaws locked on it, she would do more harm than good. Swiftly releasing it, the ornate blade clattered to the ground between them as she drove closer. Stepping closer, she felt that placing distance between them was a disservice to Tenshi. As a pack mate and a potential friend. She would give her all to this fight, and perhaps lose... But it did not matter. The important thing was to grow.

The blade had smacked against the thick skin, causing Sayuri to rattle a bit in the jaw. But she chose to put that behind her, aware now of Tenshi's mutation. The koi woman turned her neck up, jaws snapping as she too attempted to grasp on Tenshi's neck fur. It would be amusing if they both missed, clacking teeth instead of flesh. While the aim was never to harm, Sayuri had a bit of respect for the woman. It wouldn't do to hold back.
