One spar had been enough to warm him up and make him sweat a bit, but he needed more. Stamina and strength was absolutely necessary to last in any situation, especially if there were to be a raid. He had kids and a partner to protect now, and his experience with raids had proven that they didn’t usually stop with just one fight. He needed to be able to fight at least 3 in quick succession, so with that thought in mind, the Genji man raised his head and issued a call for another challenger to join him in his goal.

"Speech"

A call rang out for an opponent. Catching her interest, Tenshi lifted herself from the sun spot she had found for herself. Taking some time to rest between her patrols, she was appreciative of the chance to get her muscles moving. Making her way through the bamboo on quiet paw steps, Tenshi approached Raijin with curiosity. He wasn't a typical face she saw very often, but she had never questioned it. Some had their duties elsewhere and that wasn't her business. Sizing him up as she entered the circle he had claimed as his sparring area, she noticed they were similar in shape and size. It wasn't often that she found someone of similar stature. A friendly and daring smile crossed her lips as she dipped her head to him in hello. "Raijin, is it?" Tenshi questions first to make sure that she has the right wolf in mind. Hattori was not a talkative wolf, but the offspring that claimed Raijin to be their father was. "Since this is our first time, who would you like to go first?" She asks as she settles her body into a more battle-ready position.

A massive woman, cloaked in gray accented by a stunning, crackling gold responded to his challenge. He’d seen her in passing through the maze but hadn’t ever formally met her. She asked to verify his name with a friendly grin on her gold crowned face, his nubbed tail giving a pleased wiggle behind his bulky frame. “I see my name precedes me. My name is Genji Raijin, pleased to meet you Miss…?” his greeting trailed off, a brow raising in question, hoping she’d fill the gap with her name.

She jumped right to it, telling him to go first as she prepared herself by slipping into a defensive position. “Alright, but I hope you won’t regret it. I don’t go easy,” he replied with a wink, tucking his head to protect his neck and widening his stance and his expression turned serious. Then, out of nowhere, his Blakiston Owl Companion dove from the sky toward the woman. He lunged forward at the same time, hoping to use the distraction of his companion to his advantage as his sabered jaws opened to try and snag a back leg to force her to lose her footing.

"Speech"

Words were not her forte like they were Raijin's, but she could play the flirty game if he wished. "Yama Tenshi," she replied warmly as they both settled into fighting stances. Her eyes watched him as he winked at her and stated that he didn't go easy. Was he really that foolish? Letting her smile shift into a smirk, she winked back at him. "Don't underestimate me," Tenshi replied with husky tones as she heard the rustle of wings in the sky. A distraction already? Good thing she never traveled alone. Ready and waiting in the shadows, two identical snow leopards raced toward the swooping bird. Keeping her sight trained on the lunging man in front of her, she let her companions deal with the distraction. Her paws took a step to the side as Raijin swiftly aimed to grab ahold of her back leg. He would be in for a surprise when his teeth would not sink as deeply as he believed. Letting her thickened skin protect her leg, she held steady and began curling her head toward his side. Tucking her chin and lowering her head while he grasped her leg, Tenshi aimed to jab her antlers into his ribcage.
