Valor suddenly felt a little nervous as Avalon paired him off with one of the wolves from Talis' group. He'd never actually done any fighting before, or had a whole lot of training, and he wasn't sure he'd exactly be impressive at it. What if Jade was better than him? Not that there'd be a whole lot of shame in losing or not doing well, but he at least wanted it to be worthwhile for the both of them. A soft huff escaped him as he tried to steel his nerves some and go over what Avalon had explained before she'd paired them off. He rose to his feet and stepped off to his own area and glanced at the other wolves. Some were already starting their fights so there was no use in prolonging it anymore. He glanced towards the female he'd been paired off with and smiled sheepishly at her. "So I uh, I've never sparred before so I'm sorry if I suck." Walk, "Talk" Think

Jade didn't know the first thing about fighting. Nope, not a single thing. She tried not to seem too uncertain when she was paired with a stranger. It wasn't even someone from Talis. He smelled like a completely different pack. She wasn't quite sure what to make of him, or if she should try to figure out anything about him at all. She padded after him a ways, not wanting to get too close.. since she knew nothing about him at all. His pelt was neat, at least. Jade examined him for awhile, focusing briefly on the streaks of bright green that trailed from his eyes. She wasn't quite sure what they reminded her of, but they were definitely unusual.  The yearling shook her head at his words. "It's okay, I haven't either," Jade admitted quickly, grinning a bit as her tail waved behind her. "I'll probably suck too. I'm Jade, by the way. Which one of us should start? You can, if you want?" Shrugging, she hunkered down a bit, doing what felt natural - mostly letting her head drop and spreading her weight evenly between her limbs. Walk, "Talk" Think
