She was back again, and it was with the sole intention of wanting to get better. She wanted to help protect her family and her pack better. She needed more experience, and what better place than where wolves commonly gathered to do just that? Or rather...more common in the Boreas battlefield, perhaps. But maybe a constant presence here would draw more would be opponents in. With her gear on, and her newest little companion in tow, Saga briefly roamed the Boneyard until she found a decent spot. Standing up on her hindlegs, she threw her head back and sent out a mighty roar, calling for someone to come and fight her! Saga

Come down, come down sweet reverence

Well she wasn't doing too badly but her last performance had been embarassing. Jynn had lost to a yearling. A beefy yearling but a yearling non the less and during the fight she'd felt her mind wander, her limbs tangle. It was an embarrassing disaster! She could accept losing if she'd done near her best and was simply out matched but to lose in such a manner? No. Unacceptable. She needed to do better, especially if she was going to try and join Tojo as a fighter. She didn't want to be an embarrassment to Nami.

Jynn scouted the Battlefield for an opponent and froze with her hackles raised at the sound of a roar. Hold on a freaking minute, was that a bear… calling for a challenger? A bear that understood the wolven rules and culture? Well… it made sense. She looked to her pair of jaguars who looked back at her. Fuck it, she couldn't pass this up.

Jynn trotted to the source of the roar to see a beautifully marked polar bear. She approached cautiously, still a bit nervous around such a large predator. Taking a defensive stance she offered the bear a smile. "If you're looking for a sparring opponent I'd be happy to take you on!"

Someone was approaching, but what set her apart from the usual was that she...looked like a very tall fox? But also wasn't a fox. Nor was she a wolf...or so she assumed. She had never seen a wolf nor a fox look like her, and it had Saga curious. Maybe she'd be able to find out after, because now she was very interested and excited in sparring her! "Yes! I've never fought uh...well, someone like you before." She hoped she didn't offend her by saying that, but she really didn't know what kind of creature she was. She grinned as she set herself up, falling into a defensive stance as she allowed her opponent to get settled in as well. Once she was ready, she gave a nod before she moved. She came toward the woman, giant paws eating the ground and shortening the distance between them. She angled herself so that her right shoulder would (hopefully) knock against her opponents right shoulder with the intention of unbalancing her, and she'd swipe a forepaw out at jynn's hind leg, further looking to make her lose her footing.

Jynn chuckled at the bear's statement. "I'm a maned wolf and I could say the same!" Well, that wasn't entirely true. She'd fought a bear before but this was her first polar bear and first spar with any bear. Her encounter with the grizzly bear had been a sloppy, panicked drive for survival. A legitimate spar would be a good chance to gain some proper experience fighting a larger predator.

Jynn set her defenses and soon the fight was underway. The large bear moved toward her at surprising speed. Jynn swiftly pivoted to face the bear then darted forward and slightly toward her right. She leapt forward, jaws seeking to grab a hold of the bear's right knee. As she moved the bear's shoulder throw would miss her but her hind legs didn't quite clear the paw. She stumbled but thanks to her leap managed to keep her footing.

A maned wolf? Interesting! She stored that information away for later, for now, she focused on the spar at hand. While Saga was quick, most others were still quicker. Jynn managed to get mostly past her, her teeth connecting with her knee which earned a series of grunts from the young bear. Her own paw connected somewhat, but she had failed in unbalancing the older woman. Saga knew she had a lot to learn still, and this woman was one such creature she wanted to learn about! She had never seen her kind before, and she was very curious about her. She kicked out her leg, hoping to dislodge the maned wolf from her before twisting around in an attempt to bring her facing the maned wolf once more. In as rapid a motion as she could manage, Saga charged the short gap in an attempt to headbutt the womans hindquarters, jaws also seeking a hind ankle in a further attempt to try and at least tangle up the lady's long, slender legs.

Jynn's fangs latched onto the bear's knee but she wasn't able to hold her position for long. Saga kicked out sharply and there was simply no beating that strength. The foot connected and Jynn was pushed away, losing her grip and only coming away with a tuft of white fur. Jynn was sent rolling but it had the advantage of forcing her out of the way of the bear's other attacks. Jynn quickly scrambled back to her feet and charged once more. As Saga had twisted around for where her rear end had been moments before, Jynn sought to nip the woman's face. Her fangs darted out seeking to nick the flesh of the bear's upper muzzle.
