The melee brawl she had judged for Elysium's tournament got the itch for a good fight under her skin and while she had a brief bit of time to slip away from the pack she thought she ought to go satisfy that desire. Besides, she hadn't gotten to have a real fight since she finished the fang caps she had made to mirror her father's so it would be good to get some practice with them. Sure, she could have roped her brother into a fight and maybe she still would when she got back if this didn't satisfy her, but it was always good to get some new perspectives and see some different fighting styles from what she was used to. She had trained and sparred with her parents and brother more times than she could possibly count. She knew what to expect from them, she wanted something different.

She walked out into the open, snow covered field, seeing nothing but a few rocks disturbing the landscape. There was some tracks disturbing the snow here and there and even a couple of places where it had gotten churned up and splattered with blood from a past fight, but she didn't immediately see anyone around. Loqui was perched on her shoulder as she walked, the raven's diamond talons gripping around the collar of her scaled armor. Meanwhile her other raven, Cogitare, looped lazily over head while he waited for something to happen. Eventually she got tired of waiting and looking so she picked a spot that seemed good enough for a fight and lifted her head, letting out a call for anyone nearby that might be interested in a spar.

"Avacyn Mendacium"

She didn't mind fighting yearlings cause she was nearly one herself. If she had been born a year later, she'd be a year old too. So why would she balk at the idea of fighting one? Just cause they were kids? They had to learn somehow! Wren was in the mindset to have friendly fights, not a blown-out war. And some of these 'kids' were skilled. Ghoul, especially, was a good fighter for his age. She wasn't going to discriminate against someone who wanted to learn. Euryale shrieked from above, alerting Wren of a challenger. She made tracks to where the bluish wolf waited. "Hey" she would greet, tail swaying behind her "if you want to spar, we'll take you on" Her falcon landed on her shoulder, gripping her fur lightly. It stared at the other bird, giving a squawk of greeting herself before focusing on the large wolf "my name is Wren, and this is Euryale." she added, dipping her head to the other. Leveling her skull again, she planted her weight. And gave a nod for the girl to make the first move! "she speaks"

Avacyn waited patiently for someone to approach her, wondering to herself if anyone was even out on the battlefield today, but eventually a woman dressed in shades of brown appeared in front of her with an easy greeting and an acceptance of her challenge. She glanced at the falcon that landed on the other woman's shoulder and Loqui made a similar noise back to the other bird which she just assumed was some sort of language avians understood. She offered her new opponent a soft smile and nodded in agreement. Noticing her lack of armor and seemingly no other companions with her besides the falcon that rested on her shoulder. Ah well, it could still be good practice for the both of them, she supposed, and if the woman had any issues with the imbalance she didn't say as much. "I'm Avacyn. This is Loqui, that's Cogitare," she said in response after Wren introduced herself and her companion, pointing to the raven on her shoulder and gesturing up to the raven that was still circling through the sky as she listed them off.

Then her opponent moved right into a defensive stance so Avacyn gave her a little grin and did the same, Loqui taking off into the sky to join his brother. With her feet planted firmly and evenly under her, her head held low and even with her spine, and anything that might be an easy target like her ears and tail tucked out of the way, she waited for Wren to signal that she was ready. As soon as she got a nod from the other wolf Avacyn was off. With her long limbs she sprung forward, crossing the distance between them in a few long strides before attempting to slam her shoulder into the other woman's chest, using the hardened scales that capped her shoulders to protect herself from being bruised by the impact. She also turned her head toward Wren's scruff to try and bite down on the loose skin of the smaller woman's neck. She wouldn't bite too terribly hard since she wasn't sure how much damage the steel that capped her fangs could deal just yet, but she'd at least try to bite hard enough to hold her there.

"Avacyn Mendacium"

Wren expected the girl to act. She felt teeth at her scruff as Avacyn lunged at her. She had a split second to react to the teeth before she shot her face out and retaliated. Her own teeth flashed as she controlled her bite, aiming for whatever she could grab. She attempted to grasp the side of the girl's neck too, them being so close together could mean little else was done. The brunette attempted to hold her ground against the larger wolf's assault. She dug her short claws into the earth, feeling cold ground beneath the snow. If Avacyn relied on her size, Wren would be in trouble. She had already lost countless times against larger wolves. The only thing she could do now was attempt to hold onto Avacyn. Euryale already had taken off. The peregrine sailed over the battlefield, causing shriek of a challenge to the two other birds. While she was nowhere near their size, Euryale did want to practice as well! If Wren did all the work, what sort of companion was she? She was out of practice as well. "she speaks"

Their fight kicked off quickly with her shoulder hitting into Wren's chest and her teeth catching the woman's scruff. With how close they were it was impossible to miss how her opponent's head turned and twisted to reach for her own neck, but it was just as impossible to avoid her attack in such close quarters. She felt the smaller woman's teeth scrape the side of her neck which made her wince, but didn't hurt enough to make her let go. She went on trying to press her weight into Wren, shoving into her with her shoulder and putting pressure on where she was holding onto her scruff in attempts to shove the other woman over.

Meanwhile, their companions met in the sky above them and as the wolves' fight continued. The falcon shrieked her challenge to the ravens that occupied the sky with her and Loqui was eager enough to meet it. He swooped in toward the fellow avian, mostly playing around with her as he dove in try and knock his wing against hers—not enough to knock her out of the sky or anything, but a bit of a test of agility and dexterity for her. Cogitare, never one to be left out, broke off from the other birds and dive bombed the wolves below, stopping short of flying into Wren's face. Instead, he flapped his wings in her face to discourage her from biting at Avacyn's neck.

"Avacyn Mendacium"

The girl used her weight to shove into her, but Wren had anticipated the larger wolf would always do such a thing. Or try. Shoving smaller animals was instinct for bigger ones, even if it was a bully tactic. Thankfully, Wren had dug her paws into the ground to prevent this. It was stupid to shove Avacyn back; it'd do no good. So the brunette instead dove closer and ducked. Or tried to. Her teeth barely grazed Avacyn, especially when the bird suddenly appeared. So she aimed lower, attempting to grasp one of her front limbs and yank the weight from her. Euryale shrieked from above, seeing one of the companions having dove at its friend. Abandoning the other bird, she dived and attempted to throw off the distraction by attempting to grip Cogitare on the shoulder and throw off his flight pattern. Wren growled as she dove at the limb, but knew this was just a spar. She wouldn't do any untoward damage, and she knew she could never snarl properly at a kid. Not even one who was attacking her. "she speaks"
