Dirt Dance Floor

After Stolas' first night on the island, Fia saw him to his own guest den before heading to her own up the mountain by her siblings. She was much more a night creature than a day one, but she had figured that wasn't quite the norm and he must have been tired from the journey. She was too honestly having met him half way, so there weren't really any second thoughts to call it a night herself.

By the morning she was up early, she typically didn't sleep much or more went for a few naps a day rather than long periods of sleep. She was eager to go ahead and meet him again, but instead did a little faux patrol around the island. The chill of the early morning and shores of the ocean had her bring a pelt over her shoulders while she wasn't intending to fight any intruders. And she didn't have that problem anyway. All seemed peaceful.

As the sun started to rise more and the sky lit up in a cloudy blue she'd start to make her way towards the cave den he was staying in. He may have been up already, but if not she'd wait for him more out in the common areas of the lake in a place she could spot him up the mountain trails. "Morning." She greeted after they had met below the ranges. She'd stand as if to walk off somewhere with him, though really not much in mind.

She'd only walk a few steps before continuing, "You held your own nicely against those coyotes." Somewhat a compliment? Sure. Maybe she was trying too hard to brush off that admiration of him though. Her growing feelings she had been exploring recently were making her act mostly oblivious to the way she felt and thought. But the more time she spent with Stolas, the more it came out. "Not that I wouldn't have expected otherwise."

A brow raised as she side eyed him and continued to move forward around the lake, "Don't suppose you could show me first hand what you know?" A gentle smile, Fia herself actually didn't have a lot of experience in one on one spars. Maybe Stolas was the same, who knew. Most everything came naturally for her but there was a lot for her to actually learn. Though, that wasn't really why she wanted to challenge Stolas. She wouldn't say that out loud though.
