hit me with your best

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Spider, I’m Kitsune Tachi Oritsu Abraxas, from the Ashen Empire” she explained, her voice welcoming and polite as her diplomacy training bid her to be. Their question had indicated a curiosity, so she continued on, answering them in full and without judgement. “Your esteemed Warlord originally hailed from the Ashen Empire, and that history has forged a lasting bond of allegiance between our two packs.” But that was enough history and explanation. That itch lingered in her coat and under her paws. Excess energy she needed to rid herself of, least it burn her up inside.

Her opponent readied themselves, and she did the same. Letting her body follow the familiar patterns as she moved into her defences. “As I’ll ever be” She said, anticipation touching her tone with a glimmer of excitement.

It was nice to face an opponent that didn’t tower over her, and she relished their advance. Spider charged at her, and she let him have her shoulder. Knowing he would struggle to pierce her thicker than average coat. It brought him in close, and she balanced against Spider’s attack as she raised her right paw. Extending her claws as she aimed the grab just behind their knee and pull it forward. She wasn’t trying to hurt them, only compromise their balance. At the same time, she twisted her head to the side and attempted to swipe at their neck with her antlers.
