Ruin was feeling rowdy, ready for a bit of rough and tumble that afternoon. She stomped along as though her paws were as heavy as rocks, tail as straight as a blade with her head held high. She'd had play fights with her siblings more times than she could count but she wanted something a little more serious, a conflict with a clear winner and loser. Not a little squabble that puttered out once they'd gotten bored or someone nipped a little too hard. In Ruin's mind it didn't matter that she was much smaller than her brothers and thus at a disadvantage, she was convinced she was far more clever, wittier and quick on her paws. More than capable of seizing victory, even when the odds were against her.

Stepping out into the centre of the plains, some distance from the river, Ruin tipped her head back and let out a howl; outright demanding that one of her brothers get over here so she could beat them up!

He accidentally crunched down on the frog he was playing with when a howl startled him. He had been playing around with his abilities to catch them, but so far had been letting them go unharmed. The taste was… fishy and weird, and he made a face, and gagged up the frog pieces. He cleaned his mouth on the back of his paw, and shrugged. Leaving behind the mess he had created, he fell into a trot and ran to meet his sister.

He loved little Ruin, even if she was always dragging him into trouble. He wondered what mischief she was going to come up with today. Her howl had sounded very.. Challangey. Did she want to race? He had longer bigger feet than here. He could probably kick her ass. “Ruin!” he said happily, stopping in front of her.

Her brother- she couldn't tell which- was wise to heed her call. Ruin stomped on over, shoulders square and back straight as she approached with a gleam in her eye. Her bossy howl ought to have done the trick but just in case she stood as tall as her tiny frame would allow whilst she flashed her baby whites. Her tail was arched high behind her, straight and stiff. It was all just a bunch of theatrics, they'd never bothered with the fanfare before when it came to puppy tussles but things were a little different now. They were no longer hidden away in the den, this was the real world and it was time for some real fighting!

"You!" She yelled in way of greeting, glaring up at him with her piercing, yet mismatched gaze. "Fight me!"

Seeing him up close forcibly reminded her of how much bigger than her he already was. Strong and towering that she had to tilt her neck at an angle to even meet his eyes, but she paid it no mind as she pulled in a deep breath and then nodded, to signal that she was going to make the first move. It was the least he could do, since yanno he had such a size advantage. With a rumbly puppy grow Ruin kicked off into a sprint, her paws thudding against the dry earth as she rushed in close, attempting to grab a hold of his ankles. Cause of course, what else would she have aimed for?

Ruin had a habit of never calling him by his name, so she hadn’t slipped up and called him by Haiku yet. That was alright, he was pretty confident he had her on her toes guessing which of the twins he was. Just the way he liked it. “You!’ he shot back teasingly, just as eager for a real tussle as she was. So far his fighting experience was wrestling Haiku well rolling down a hill, and jumping on frogs.

“Aye, Lady Alpha!” he agreed, snapping a paw to his head in a salute as he fell into a play-roll of being a loyal soldier of the alpha. Not that Theory had ever struck him as being bossy, it was still a fun roll to fall into.

Ruin launched herself at him, going for his toes, and he tried to kick out at them, but in his uncoordinated large paw, small body sort of style. He also tried to bite at her forehead with his little puppy teeth.

Her brother had really big paws! Massive compared to her tiny set but that only meant she was quicker on her feet, more than agile enough to swerve out of the way before the hit landed. Her smile was wide and beaming as pride filled her chest, if she could dodge one hit surely she could dodge them all!  If only it was that simple. Ruin let out a shocked little gasp when she noticed that her big bro wasn't done just yet, he intended to use his teeth as well! Now that wasn't very fair was it! With a sulky grumble she reared up onto her hind legs, hoping to to headbutt him so that his bite wouldn't land. It was a risky play, kinda dumb actually but what did she know? Sometimes the most effective tactics were the ones no one could anticipate.

Ruin was fast! She didn’t seem to have balance and coordination problems like he often did. As he pranced about like a giant clown, she seemed to run circles around him. Darting away from his paws before they could land. At least it got her off nibbling his poor toes.

His sister reared up, like a little t-rex on stubby legs. He grinned, aiming to place a paw on her head at the same time as trying for his bite. That easy she wouldn’t be able to knock his teeth around too much with his headbite. Who said brothers had to fight fair?

And the winner is...

RUIN	SENRYU must give up by submitting, fleeing or passing out. Totals: Adjusted rolls: 60 50 87.4 6 RUIN'S total is.. 142.38 Adjusted rolls: 38.75 34.8 17 74 SENRYU'S total is.. 115.19

Ruin's attack was stupidly effective. The top of her head was really hard and the bottom of her bro's chin wasn't so much. Her hit landed with a BONK and before her bro could even recover she was on the move again, taking advantage of his daze as she weaved in between his legs and gave his ankle an almighty chomp! In her mind her victory was unquestionable, she had gotten the goods she was chewing his leg and thus she was the winner. As big and tall as he was he was oh so powerless to do a thing! How the mighty fall and fitting that it was little Ruin who brought the giant tumbling down to her level, or lower.

"Ha ha!" She jeered as she pulled away for a moment to look up at her brother.
