what's this..? Pocket sand!
There was another chance to prove his worth, and though he had been slinking about in the shadows lately, it seemed like he ought to at least try. Being assigned to fight a higher ranked wolf, naturally, he slunk towards the familiarity of the cove. After the move, he was still struggling to acclimate to the cold weather and even colder sea. It reminded him of Nippon's coasts in the winter, but the sea was bitterly cold year round in the north. He wasn't a fan, but he preferred it to the caves. The endless stone walls reminded him of years spent in a prison waiting to be sold off. You know, the series of events that had landed him here. His companion arrived with the well tended sword in its grasp, and handed the blade to the dark furred slave. With a dip of his head to his opponent, the svelte wraith gripped the hilt in his jaws and centred himself. Nimble paws dug into the dark sands, felt it shift comfortingly beneath his meagre weight. He dropped his skull towards his chest, tipping his muzzle to the right to point the blade outwards and to the left. The girl, while not much larger than himself, was significantly better equipped. Armoured and equipped with shining fangs, she was certainly a worthy opponent. He adjusted his position until he'd left about five feet of space between them, eying the fae warily. Finally, he let out a small sigh and kicked off. Dark tail flagging out behind himself for balance on the shifting sands, and he struggled to keep his joints loose enough that he could counteract the unsteady terrain while moving. As he closed in on the earthen fae, he sought to dip to his right and slash the point of the blade against her left flank. She was armoured, so there was little concern that he would seriously injure her. The goal is to simply slip out of range after his attack, and see what happens from there..
