She would stand unmoving. She had chosen, her decision was final absolute. She stood behind her words with all the power that rooted itself within her chest. She was dissatisfied with the way Tortuga was run and had stated as such, he had responded with his intentions and it had not meant her satisfaction, even if she lost this war of ivory, she at least cared enough to fight for the survival of the pack. She would sleep well tonight, regardless if she crowned Tortuga's Queen, or if she dined in hell. At least she would die for something good.

He spoke, answering her challenge and stating his terms, the level of maturity, the fact that he would not make this a battle of death surprised her. She had not anticipated such a level headed response to her challenge, regardless, she would respect them. Ears pinning back against her cranium, she would dip her head in silent agreement, acknowledging his terms and accepting them. "If I lose consider my voice silenced." It was all the response that was required of her, it was all she would say. She knew what she would do if she won, she needn't speak it unless she succeeded and she had no doubts that this would be a tough fight. She had never personally trained with Kaien but she had seen him spar, just as she was sure he had seen her.

She shifted her stance, broadening the distance between her two front limbs for stability and lowering her hind end slightly to shift her weight to her hind legs, preparing to spring, Her tail stood out behind her, keeping her balance steady and perfect. She took a long breath, slowing her heart rate and relaxing her muscles, growing still and quiet, waiting for him to move, waiting for him to spring. Her ears remained pinned against her cranium to protect them from teeth and claws and her eyes remained locked upon Kaien, watching for the slightest of movements that might help her predict his attacks. She tucked her head down, shielding her neck and waited.

He sprung and Desdemona was a second behind, pushing off from her hind legs. Ears flattened against her skull to protect them from easily being grabbed, and her head shielding her throat from open attack, her tail would stick straight out behind her to help maintain her balance. Her gait was quick and fast, the spring allowing her to move her momentum forward quickly. He would slash at her and she would feint to the left to dodge it, the claws barely scraping her maw.

Now slightly diagonal to him, she shifted her weight to her hind legs, and springing towards his right, she hoped to slash at the right side of his face with her right leg. Her head was still tucked to protect her neck and her ears still pinned to avoid easy access. Her balance was angled more towards the front half of her body to hopefully give her the momentum to achieve her attack. Her tail still sticking out behind her and her legs still broad to help maintain her balance.

Defenses: Head angled down to protect neck/throat, ears pinned to skull to avoid easy access, legs widened and tail sticking out behind her for balance, breathing steady to keep her muscles loose and relaxed along with her heart rate to allow for a more fluid movement and improved endurance. She feints to the left to avoid being slashed and as she springs, her balance is moved to the front of her, to provide extra momentum for the attack.

Attack: From the dodge of Kaien's attack, if off positioned them slightly, leaving her diagonal to his right side, shifting her weight and springing forward off of her hind end, she hopes to use the forward momentum to use her right fore limb to claw at the right side of Kaien's face.

Injuries: Minor scratches to her cheek.

Round: 1 of 4

(((OOC: I think four rounds should be fine! -Is still learning this whole fight thing so that should be a touch easier on me ;)- Since you didn't specify which leg he slashed with or what direction he sprung away in, I kinda had to wing it ^^)))
