She was cleared to fight again. Halo had given her very specific instructions, of course. Take it easy and don't overdo it had been chief among them, but... well, it wasn't like Hazel was going to actually follow those very specific instructions. She needed to throw herself back into things head on, and what better way to do that than roll up to the battlefield and challenge the biggest, meanest motherfucker she could find?

But Azure was busy.

It wasn't like she couldn't get Bas to spar her, but maybe the yearling was feeling a bit insecure. He was bigger, and he'd had more training... no, Hazel would take her chances. She probably couldn't handle the constant teasing from her best friend, should she lose. At least if it was a stranger she could fuck off and never have to see them again, right? Right. She'd done a good enough job convincing herself of that on her walk over here.

Hazel shared a glance with her opponent, and they shrugged at each other. They put on their most confident faces and entered one of the dusty sparring rings, figuring now was as good a time as any. Hazel's call rang out, seeking an opponent. Showtime.
"Speech"

After his visitation with the pack healer Incubus was feeling a smidge better. His tail still wasn't incredibly mobile but he wasn't in constant pain. That meant it was time to continue on with his training and the Battlefield was the perfect place to do so. Just as those inky paws crossed into the territory a call was heard. Someone was asking for a sparring partner. Honestly, the timing could not have been better. It did not take long for the brute to make his way to the appropriate ring. Pink and blue eyes moved along his opponents form before resting on her own green gaze. Inc offered a small nod as he moved directly in front of the babe, about ten feet away. "Incubus Klein." The beast spared the femme pleasantries as he shifted into a defensive stance. Ears flicked back, eyes narrowed, weight distributed between four legs, and hackles raised. "On your move." ""

It's not long before someone shows up. He's bigger than her by a decent margin, but not as big as Bas. Dark, with bi-colored eyes. Hazel locks her gaze upon his, though a flicker of recognition crosses as he introduces himself. A Klein-- someone else under the empire, but not anyone she's met. "Hazel." Her tone is clipped, all business. She stumbles short of calling herself anything else. Pleasantries, though there's little pleasant about the yearling. Her shoulders hunch slightly, and the girl reminds herself to keep her guard up on her weak right side.

Hackles up along her back, the girl surged forward. It's without fanfare, the movement fast and maybe a bit dirty. Hazel feinted to the left and then surged to the right, making use of her smaller size and perceived better agility. Crystalline fangs glimmering in the sunlight as she attempted to tag the brute, an approximation of the area where his neck and shoulder met. Her own shoulders hunched under her cape, hoping to rely on the protection that would grant. Ideally, she'd be able to scrape her teeth against his flesh and continue moving, but there was no telling if she'd actually be able to make it out without her momentum stopping. Here's to hoping.

With a simple exchange of names the two were ready for battle. Incubus idly awaited Hazels first move with defensives locked and loaded. He was not entirely confident about his ability to win. The gal had a spine infested cloak as well as some leather on her chest. Also, those fangs likely didn't feel the best in comparison to normal teeth. Although he may have a set of horns and size on her, she could easily pick up a win here. As Hazel ran at him Incubus dug his paws into the earth. If she was going for a chest slam he'd make sure she was met with a brick wall. But, she did not. The babe faked left before shooting to his right. Inc's head whipped side to side as he tracked her. Before he knew it those fangs made purchase where she had intended. A small growl bubbled deep in his throat as she attempted to slip away. "Not so fast..." -  Incubus lurched forward and attempted to slam his left shoulder into her left side, in the lower abdomen, but it could easily catch her thigh due to her movement. Nearly in the same movement he'd also angle his head down low and stab her hind leg with his horns. - Incubus was trying to utilize his mutation a bit more and this would be good practice.

A growl-- she'd been successful. She'd made contact with the brute in exactly the way she'd intended. Still, it wasn't quite the clean breakaway she'd hoped. At least he'd come for her left side, the one that she was typically better at defending. The Klein's shoulder made contact with the broad point of her thigh, knocking Hazel off balance. "Fuck," she swore, breath harsh in her throat. A snarl ripped as she felt a stabbing pain as well, fucking horns.

The layer of calculation was ripped off. No strategic thoughts left in her head, no, Hazel was something else in these moments. Adrenaline numbing the initial shock of pain, she rounded on the man in one jerky motion. No fluidity, not anymore. Hazel had lost some of her grace in the time she'd taken to heal, something she was only noticing now. The red and pale yearling made to plow into Incubus's side, hoping to make contact using the brunt of her bodyweight. Teeth gnashing, snapping, trying to make contact with whatever she could reach. No more calculation, only chaos.

A swear spurted forth from his opponents mouth as both shoulder and horns made contact. The male felt a rush of adrenaline in the wake of the small victory but did not allow that to taint his judgment. The spar was not over. So far he had gotten a solid hit on her and she got one on him. They were even. He thankfully remembered to slow down his breathing and remain collected. Pink and blue eyes continued to track the yearling as she collected herself. Incubus took that moment to ensure all defensives were still locked into place. Ears pinned back, hackles raised, weight distributed, and eyes slanted. It seemed her had flipped a switch in the younger girl. Once he had seen a more calculated fighter and now with her slamming into his side and connecting a ravenous bite to his abdomen she seemed more rattled. Another growl ripped from the brute as those fangs poked at the tight skin. Lips curled up to reveal slightly blood stained teeth. In response Incubus quickly pivoted towards his opponent and charged her way. He intended to replicate her move by slamming his chest into her side. But, the Klein male dug his large paws into the ground with each stride to put unrivaled force into the slam. His intentions were to knock the girl off balance and hopefully leave falling to the ground.
