A small, pleased grin crossed her muzzle at Syrinx's response. Pride swelled in her chest and a flicker of interest crossed her violet gaze. He moved oh so close and she was happy to see that her new scars did nothing to hinder the interest he apparently showed in her. He was quite the interesting brute and Alena had no problem letting him get as close as he wanted. Perhaps today would be one full of victories, first grabbing the position of secondary and then-

Oh, but nothing in her life was ever that easy was it? She was about to thank Syrinx for his generosity and maybe even make her own move, but a golden hued fea appeared, nudging Syrinx aside. Alena blinked at the young woman, taking her in as she confidently challenged Alena for the position she had just been given. She had to be around a year old, maybe two years tops. Still a youngster really. But Alena could clearly see from the fea's scars that she had already done her time in battle. Her challenger stood a few inches taller than her as well. An interesting opponent to say the least.

She was about to glance to Syrinx, to see what is opinion was, but she refrained, instead keeping her gaze on the fea instead. She knew what Syrinx's response would be anyway. He'd want her to accept the challenge. She knew better than anyone that positions of power could be won and lost in the blink of an eye. Besides, this girl intrigued her and her teasing tone only made Alena grin in response. It had been so long since she had really fought, and had fought for fun at that. Ah well, why not?

Alena set her defenses as well, starting with the obvious ones. She flattened her ears to her skull, her paws spreading into a even, firm stance, her knees bending ever so slightly to give her a little more freedom of movement. Her tail went out behind her, her toes spread, and her claws dug into the dirt to ensure her balance remained true. Her hackles raised and scruff bristled to protect her neck while her neck lowered to be even with her spine, her head dipping down to cover her throat. Finally, her eyes narrowed into slits and her lips parted in a snarl, though the corners of her lips still showed hints of her excited grin. "I, Alena Leone, accept your challenge whole hardheartedly, Virgil."

And with that she was off, using the traction she had created by digging her claws into the dirt to propel herself forward, lunging for the right side of the taller fea's throat. She hoped to use the height difference to her advantage to be able to get better access to the fea's throat. She would try to reach forward with outstretched, spread jaws. If she was successful and her fangs indeed sunk into the fea's flesh she would bite down with all the force she could muster to either cut off Virgil's air or at least rip away some of the flesh there. Alena would not go easy on the girl, even if she was only a fraction of Alena's age.

While she was in such close quarters with the fea, Alena would continue pushing forward. Her claws would retain their purchase in the dirt under her and she would use the sure footing from that to push forward, hoping to use whatever hold she had grabbed onto the fea to push Virgil back and knock her off balance. She knew she was physically smaller than the opponent she was attacking, but she felt that they were fairly equally matched as far as muscle mass went so she felt comfortable attempting to at least throw off the fea a bit.
