The woman was paired with a child, a young girl who couldn’t have been all that experienced in fighting. She would look to the girl, who seemed to be afraid of her. Akemi’s single orb would soften. Her soft spot for children was setting in, and despite her frustration at the current arrangements in Sonticus she could push them aside to focus on her battle with this young girl. “That’s right sweetheart, we fight.” She’d give a nod, heading off a little bit aways from the rest of the group. Akemi would look to the little one again, a smile on her lips. Was she really so scary? Perhaps so... It was amazing her own pups had not cried at the very sight of her. “Do you want the first move?” Akemi would ask, wanting the other to feel comfortable. She’d take it easy for the little one’s sake.

It was strange hearing the woman speak, the words she used were almost like how Amachi talked to the yearling. Motherly. It made Anaeia's eyes narrow as she stared at her paws, wondering if there was something going on that the lady wasn't saying or showing, maybe some dark plans. No! Eyes closed tightly for a moment then reopened at the sound of the lady moving away. That wouldn't happen, no way, not while everyone was here... right? She gulped, lifting her head to glance at her mother once more before trailing behind Akemi. At least she would still be around the others.

Coming to a stop the woman asked if the child wanted the first move. For a few moments she wouldn't respond or even move, appearing as though she was frozen in place. ”S-sure...” Finally answering, voice uncertain with her decision in taking the first move. It had to be done, Anaeia could not run off now after she was already here. She didn't want to risk the leader chasing after her and dragging her back. So with a deep breath she would try to prepare herself.

Ears were already pinned back against her skull, as well as her head pulled into her neck and shoulders forward. Tail was tucked between her legs, appearing that it wouldn't be moving from that spot anytime soon. Anaeia had NO idea what she was doing, and any defenses that looked to be setting were only her instinct trying to make herself smaller so that the treat would become uninterested and leave. It wouldn't be happening however, the girl had to make a move.

The girl walked forward, not leisurely but quick, going for an up front move. Head ducked down to below shoulders, stopping in front of Akemi and tried to step on the older woman's right forepaw with her[anaeia] left forepaw. It would only be aiming to make enough contact to register something was done, delicate, no negative effects. Body shifting, the yearling would lean back then rock back forward, haws jaws reaching out and trying to grab Akemi's lower neck region. Minimal pressure would be applied, just enough to gave a hold but no damage to be done, unless a few hairs falling out would count.

ANAEIA vs AKEMI
ONE of TWO(?)
SPAR/TRAINING

Akemi had no trouble at all giving the little one the first move. She was just a yearling after all. But that didn't mean the woman wouldn't give a decent effort in battle. Head would align with the spine, single eye narrowing as she scrunched her neck. Chin would tip forward, protecting her throat as hackles raised. Legs were spread to widen her stance, as were her toes, while claws bit down into the soil. Shoulders were rolled forward, muscles tense as she braced herself for the girl's attack. She was sure that she was bound to scare the girl with her attacks, but she had to learn sooner or later that she would have to fight to help protect her pack.

Akemi would allow Anaeia to get close before moving. Her right forepaw would lift, striking out quickly to wrap around the other girl's [Ana's] foreleg around the ankle. As Akemi did this she would feel the small girl's fangs latch onto the lower area of her chest, between her forelegs and about three inches from the very bottom of her chest where it met her stomach. {Area confirmed by Azzy.} The bite wasn't hardly a hold, no real damage done by it.

The woman almost wanted to sigh. The poor girl had no idea what she was doing. She would actually stop what she was doing, catching her paw before it hooked around the girl to look at her.

"Anaeia listen. Let go. We're going to stop this nonsense here and now. You've been thrown into a spar without any formal training, haven't you?"

Akemi vs Anaeia || Spar Training

The moment the scarred woman's paw wrapped around Anaeia's the girl wanted to leap away in fright, scared that the woman would suddenly grab her by the scruff and slam her into the ground. Body froze up, going tense in preparation of teeth meeting her flesh but after a moment or two and hearing the wolf's voice, the young girl would look up hesitantly. Body had cowered low to the ground with tail tucked so far between her legs that it was brushing her stomach, and ears flattened to the point where it looked like she didn't have any there. The woman said to let go, to which the girl quickly obeyed, crawling back and away from the wolf as if she had been scolded. She wanted to stop this, and asked if the girl had any formal spar training at all. All the girl could do right now was shake her head, slowly lifting herself up, feeling it was okay now and they wouldn't carry through with the fight thankfully. "N-no... none..." She spoke quietly, lowering her skull and refocusing her mismatched eyes on the woman's paws.
