Akemi was not the only one to come back up Rune it seemed. Soon, the black and white healer known as Warja would appear, urging the woman to leave with her own words much kinder than Akemi’s own fiery tongue. The tiny wolfess could care less how it was done, but the white woman would leave, so help her, or she would be escorted off the territory by force. A bit further back from Rune and Warja, off to her leader’s right, the female would hold her ground as she waited to see what would unfold. 

Akemi would make no move to assist Rune in driving the female away, though Warja would. If he needed assistance she would gladly give it, but Akemi knew a wolf could not be coddled and their ages, and certainly not an alpha. If he was not willing to fight for his home, his pack, then he would not have deserved her respect. But Rune took matters into his own paws, fighting for his own honor as well, and the female felt her respect from him grow.

The damaged femme wasn’t foolish enough to let her guard down either, as Rune made ready to fight the woman with his daughter. The trespasser was one wolf, yes, but a wolf could have allies. Family, friends, whatever. Akemi was not one to believe that a fool would simply cross into territory so willingly alone. No, it was as if the white female with the mis-matched gaze sought a fight. 

Akemi’s gaze would fall on an approaching figure, eating up ground as she neared the fight. A blur of red fur -- a wolf far closer to her own build -- and a smaller black furred beast beside her. The thing rushing alongside the nymph is not something she knew the name for, not that it mattered. By how it ran Akemi assumed it to be an ally of the wolf and it seemed both were rushing to the aid of the white trespasser. Seeing as how they were approaching from behind the first wolf Akemi knew that in order to fight them she would need to bypass Warja {who was before her.}

The tiny female would spring into action, adjusting her body to the right as she made her go at the new opponents. The red woman, having not been at the scene right at the start, had more ground to cover than then Akemi would herself {*see notes}, though the smaller female could not hang back and just wait for her to approach. The red nymph and her lackey were foes and that was all Akemi knew. To her left Rune and the trespasser were clashing, Warja having closed the distance on their opponent {Artemis} and was launching her own attacks. Akemi sought to weave just around the other Secretuan woman, drifting to the left again in a tight maneuver to try and cut off the path of their newest opponents.

The defenses that were naturally drilled into the damaged woman were set into place.Her left eye was narrowed, brow furrowed and lips cheeks lifted to give minor protection to her face. Her hackles were raised along her body, shoulders rolled forward the moment she broken into the run. The female’s weight of a minor fifty-five pounds was distributed across her four limbs, aiding in balance. The woman’s head was also instinctively lowered, chin tucked to protect her throat. Akemi’s core was tightened, single orbed gaze falling to the smaller beast as she rounded Warja’s rear.

Warja might see the red nymph and be able to launch a counter, but the black beast, however, she likely wouldn’t. Akemi’s intended path now put her in path of the beast, just enough to throw off his attack due to her angle around Warja {which has her on a slant “\” facing Fiamette’s left haunch roughly}.

The black creature was smaller than his master, but still large enough to have plenty of force behind his lunging attack. If was more than half her own size, causing pain to shoot through her left foreleg as he collided with that rather than successfully making his attack land or Warja’s body. The right side of the creature’s chest was what struck her, his head now underneath her body, and with enough impact that Akemi was sent back peddling a couple steps, carefully placing her paws to readjust her balance.

The adrenaline from the fight was what allowed Akemi to push through the pain of what was to be a severe bruise from her mid to lower left foreleg, something that would make it painful to walk on for a few days once the adrenaline was gone. Akemi’s jaws moved to the left, taking a step forward, as she sought to grasp the flesh of the black beast’s upper back and deliver a harsh warning bite. With any luck the creature would slink away after it’s failed move so that way the two damned female wolves who were causing issues could be taken care of. Then it would leave with it’s master and Secretua would be free of these pests.

Fight:: Akemi vs Fiamette {and companion} For Proction Of Warja / Removal From Secretua

Rounds:: One of Two

Attacks:: 

*She is hoping to bite down on his upper back {on Marco’s right} in a moderate to severe way. It is not a grab attempt, but more to encourage him to back off from the fight.

Defenses:: Left eye narrowed, brow furrowed, cheeks lifted, hackles raised, shoulders rolled forward, weight distributed, head lowered, chin tucked, core tightened

Damage:: Severe bruising to mid to lower left foreleg from Maro’s body slamming into it.

Notes:: It is mentioned that Fia waited in a bush outside the territory {“crossing into the territory”} and once “a sound would be heard off in the distance” she moved into action. Fia was not there when the fight initially started and I do not feel that it is very realistic that she would get so close without being noticed {and it is also too convenient to cover that much ground just as a fight starts to protect your lover}. This is why my post is written as it is. 

This is nothing against you personally Ais, just to be clear. I’d feel the same about anyone jumping in this way. It’s not fair to the other players regardless of your wolf’s relationship to another.

-Also, I didn’t have a way to check how large Marco was, however I was told by a friend that wolverines are between 12-18 inches and I would guess, being a male, he would be on the larger side of things.

-When I think of how sharp Akemi is turning around Warja I pictured how dogs in obedience trials need to turn their bodies around upright poles and wave in and out. The turn is made to be tight.
