A voice called to him, welcoming him to the… Crypt huh? Alaois’ gaze swept the room, barely making out the form of the other male as he stepped into the chamber from another room. It was his blue eyes that Alaois had noticed the most in the darkness, which was enough. The height of the other male was smaller if his eye height was anything to go by, and Alaois focused on him his own voice cool, yet calm as he answered. “I do not intend to explore its depths in full by any means. A place such as this… there is no telling how deep this land goes. It could go for miles for all I know, twisting in the dark, and I’ve no supplies… It’d be foolhardy to make an attempt exploring blindly.” The other’s voice was harsh but Ala didn’t really mind that. He’d met harder wolves before… this stranger was no different.
“Although,” A smirk played on Alaois’ features. “A man bold enough to explore such a place has caught my attention. Perhaps you’d honor me with a fight. If you’ve got stones enough to wander here, you’ve got them to fight, correct?” Alaois slipped into a defensive stance. His stance became widened as his limbs aligned with his shoulders. He distributed his weight evenly across all of his limbs and he dug his nails down into the dirt flooring to help him with some traction. He raised his tail and lowered his head to align with his spine respectively, raised the fur of his hackles, pinned his ears, and narrowed his eyes. It had been some time since he had a good fight, his spars with Sin the last that he’d truly enjoyed.
“If you accept, face me now and take the first move. Don’t worry about holding back; I am not afraid of getting down and dirty.” Fighting primarily in the dark would be an interesting change, but a challenge that Alalois was willing to rise up to meet. But would the stranger put his money where his mouth was? Or was he just another soft heart of the land, one willing to talk the talk but not willing to walk the walk.
