A little walk away [Lian]

The impact with the ground was like a bucket of cold ice dumped over him, instantly putting his fire out. All anger wisked away and he was left with nothing....nothing but disappointment. He laid where he fell, paws flexing against the ground and nails scrapping the earth. He had failed...he had lost. In a small spar, he had failed to this child. How could he defend his siblings if he couldnt win. How could he make sure they were safe if he failed. Red rimmed eyes shimmered with unshed tears as he clenched his teeth, feeling pain thrumb through him. He groaned under his breath before slowly pushing off the ground, turning his head away from the stranger, blinking as blood slipped through the thin fur along his face, along the contours of his eye and cheek but he still didnt say a word. His eyes slowly glanced towards the child before he huffed and shook his head, lips curling just barely but without.the bite he originally had. All there was was disappointment in himself, he didnt care about this boy anymore, didnt care to face him. He won after all.
