Strangers were already something Seiko struggled with, and someone of an entirely different species. Though they'd had enough time now with Herajika to vaguely understand small cat behavior, this opponent they were facing was a different story entirely. Seiko wasn't so sure their knowledge would help them here at all.

"Fine," Seiko verbally agreed to the liger's conditions. They just hoped she would stay true to her word - that was the thing with strangers, you could never know if they were to be trusted or not. Seiko would just have to stay sharp and ensure they keep themselves safe at all costs.

Seiko couldn't have anticipated how fast the big cat would move. She dove forward quickly, and instead of just tensing up and taking the stranger's attack Seiko decided to try to shift out of the way. It struck the young wolf then just how much larger and heavier this feline really was. She stood more than a full head taller, and outweighed Seiko significantly. This was due to be a challenge, though the young Tojo-Kai wolf had never been one to shy away from things they thought difficult.

Even with the way Seiko tried to twist around to the side, the large cat's claws still struck their muzzle. The pain wasn't devastating but it was enough to give pause as they tried to reorient themselves and keep traction - falling over and submitting this early would be embarrassing. They were much more skilled than that.

Not wanting to shy away from the sudden assault, Seiko noted that Herajika's fur bristled just beside them. The house cat struck quickly, aiming to dart forward and bite onto one of the bigger cat's forelimbs, hardly enough to do damage at all but maybe distract her for a split second. Seiko took the opportunity to lunge forward too, hoping to push their smaller weight hard into Graive as they aimed to part their jaws and bite down on the forelimb opposite the one their housecat was aiming for.
