There were tangled roots and vines all over the place here. Mika found himself smacking himself into trunks after trunks as his eyesight was limited in these swamps. It made him want to puke. He hated this place, the fog, everything about it. He missed warm weather and lush beaches. Ah for fucks sake who was he joking, he'd find himself in strange places without even knowing how he got there anyway. The stripes wolf lashed his tail as he scoffed at himself. He had pent up energy and he was in no mood to be in contact with other wolves. Not unless they'd be up for a fight of course.

"I hate this." he muttered to himself. The constant inconsitency in his memory, although he assumed it was from his fighting. Other times he wasn't sure. Only a vague knowing of what he had done and having the urge to return to certain states of mind before poof he was somewhere else. It wasn't like going to sleep, it literally was a skip in his time. Mika shook his head, he hated it and it made him angry.

Tsunami was quite far from Winterfell now, why exactly? Well in truth she didn't really know. Maybe it was the anxiety around the upcoming raid, or maybe it was simply a need to be away from the pack lands, she'd once hated them, they'd been the place her father had dragged them too after the whole Abaven ordeal... but she'd since learned to consider the frozen north her home. But that didn't mean she didn't crave seeing more of the world. So maybe that was why she was so far south. Though here specifically? She wasn't exactly keen on it. But here she was, stuck in the maze of trees and mist. The scents of another wolf reached her and Tsunami picked up her pace, eager to not be alone in the eerie forest alone, and who knew, maybe they'd be able to help her find her way out. Tsunami squeezed her way under a fallen tree and spotted a dark shape moving up ahead. "Hey!" She called out as she pulled herself back up to her full height, hoping to catch the stranger's attention. WC: 185 (374/1500) "Speech"

Mika hadn't expected to get called tonight. The steel colored male whipped his head around to see a rather small thing. He grimaced a bit, pulling his teeth back in distaste. He really wasn't in the mood to be bothered this dumb forest was getting ahead of him. Not to mention that he was angry that he had no idea why he was here or how he had gotten here to begin with. Well, he grinned. Perhaps this young one could entertain him. Of course he wasn't thinking of anything horrible, well he was - to break others was his job was it not. He hated wolves - he hated himself just as much as he hated others. As he turned to her he got incredibly close.

"What?" he hissed as he narrowed his eyes at her. "Is it normal for bitches around here to greet strangers so easily?" he laughed as Mika raised his head. Now what did she have to say to that. If there was one thing he loved more than vulgur language and a fight it was those who had the guts to fight back. "Tiny thing like you should have daddy babysitting. Not safe having you wander around outside pack lands." his tail flicked as he snorted. Pressing buttons was his goal and he thought he was hot stuff even if he wasn't.

Oh? Had she intruded on the princess' alone time? Tsunami instantly narrowed her eyes as she noticed the cold glare and the twitch of the male's lips. She sniffed contemptuously. And then he spoke and hooo boy did Tsunami not like that. "Is it normal for bastards to be total assholes to random strangers where you're from?" She asked, her voice holding a hint of steel. And then? Well, then he really pissed her off. Tsunami had few buttons as tender as that of her father. The wound there was still fresh, given even a few seasons to heal but easily opened again. She'd never really been given a chance to get over it after all. Things had happened so fast in her life and just when it seemed things would settle down and she'd be allowed to have a normal family life... well her father had up and abandoned them all hadn't he? And that, frankly didn't make any fucking sense, he'd fought so long and so hard to get them back from their mother, from their bitch of a mother and then he'd just... left? What had been the point? So it was no surprise when the girl found herself dropping into a defensive crouch, her tail flagging out to line up evenly with her spine and toes spreading to get a better grip on the ground. She gave no warning as she launched herself at the male, she'd try to leap once in range, her jaws spreading wide as she aimed to try and grab the male's face in her jaws with her landing. She'd wipe that smug look off his face herself.

He intentionally loved provoking fights, it's what gave Mika purpose. His favorite thing was to tease and push buttons because no matter what happened to him he believed in his own godly power even after he lost a fight. Mika enjoyed the pain dare to say and so his banter was for a reason. Mika never really questioned why he was like this only that he simply was. As his toes spread he immidiately was ready for her attack. It was out of emotional rage and that... he loved that.

Mika moved himself to his right, her teeth coming in on his left shoulder. The bite was intense bleeding out as her teeth cut into him. She meant it and part of that made his body shiver. With his tail accompanying him to settle to the right, his paws spread. He would have to use his size to his advantage. Digging his toes into the terrain his ears pinned to the back of his head. Mika's eyes narrowed and he grinned.

The male opened his jaws and attempted to bring them down on the left side of Tsunami's head. Mainly his jaws aimed to clamp shut on that little ear of hers on the left side of her head. As he did so he bent his knees rolling in his shoulders to get more of a grip.

Blood flooded the yearling's mouth and as soon as her feet were under her Tsunami would try and vigorously shake her head, even if she'd missed her target she'd managed to get a hold and had no intention of letting go. Of course that wasn't exactly up to her and the slate man was clearly playing for keeps as well. Tsunami growled in pain as she felt teeth gripping her ear, she had to stop trying to shake his shoulder then or risk losing her ear. Tsunami flailed her left forepaw, aiming to score her claws down the male's chest or legs, whichever were in reach if only to get him to let up on her ear!

The shaking of her head caught him off guard. Making the wound deeper as he grunted in pain. She had the sense to stop though as it would only cause more damage to her ear. Mika could tell these emotionally charged attacks left little space for the fight to continue in a certain direction. Her leg came forward, striking his chest while her claws stung a little it didn't leave much damage. It did however make Mika let go of her ear, if she wanted to play it that way than he would do as she wished.

He opened his jaws again attempting to go for the back of her neck, his upper jaw towards the right side of her neck and the lower jaw towards the left side. Mika attempted to bring his left forelimb up, seeking to wrap it around her right shoulder in a hug. The blood from his wound soaked in his fur as he growled this was the rush he was looking for and he was hoping that she would bring more pain to him.

Tsunami felt her paws scrape mostly harmlessly across his chest, and though it wasn't much it seemed he did let for go of her ear, she released her hold on his shoulder and took a brief moment to shake herself out. Tsunami could feel, rather than see, his head moving again, and she pivoted on her forepaws, a bit of panic flaring in her for a moment as she recognized the danger she was in. Tsunami swung her hips to her left and ducked her head, feeling his fangs snag on her skin and fur, feeling it tear as she managed to avoid the whole of his grip but not unscathed. Tsunami was less lucky with avoiding his bear hug, she felt his greater weight drop onto her shoulders. With a grunt Tsunami lifted her head with as much force as she could muster, hoping to slam the top of her skull into his throat. She'd also try to buck beneath him, maybe throw him off his balance enough she could get an upper-hand. She could tell he was enjoying this, much more than she wanted him too. It only made her angrier, gods she just wanted to make him regret even considering being an asshole to her! WC: 208 (1616/1500!!)

This simply was making his ego worse, though there was nothing to say that she couldn't get the upper hand from him. When she did duck he was a bit surprised. His teeth catching her but not in the force that he had wanted to. No matter he would try to make sure that he went through with his attacks. Yet this would not go as planned. She bucked up on him and hit his throat, making Mika choke for a moment as he coughed and attempted to pull back his forelimb that had hugged her. While she hadn't thrown him off he was angry.

The male attempted to snap towards her ribs on her right side. His body aiming to jump forward to get to her ribs, he wasn't sure how this would go. She was smaller and therefore faster, Mika was sure he'd win though. He was the best at fighting or at least so he thought. Yet he could feel it, a small voice in his head... calling to him.

As soon as Mika tore through the young wolf's ear, he seemed to pull backwards. A winner but his head got fuzzy it was then with blood on his body and maw that Lan blinked and took a look around himself. This wasn't the first time this happened to him, it was his life to wake up to mysterious places, strangers, and battles. Quickly the wolf found himself turning in a circle, inspecting himself and looking wide eyed at the female in front of him. Her ear was bleeding, did he do that to her? "H-hey are you okay!" he exclaimed suddenly with his fur bristled.

"D-Did I do that to you?" He looked around. "And where am I?" he was vaguely aware of the trip here but at the same time he couldn't account for the time lost. It happened again and he frowned turning to the girl possibly for answers. Although if he was the one who did this to her, he wasn't entirely sure what her reaction would actually be.
