There was a silly grin on his maw as he made his way towards Cataleya's lands, his paws dancing across the ground. This would be a surprise for her, that was for sure. He highly doubted that she would expect what was to come, and he wondered if she would even except it. He wasn't even sure if he was ready for this, but he knew that he needed to do this. The practice would be good, and it would be fun to strengthen their alliance, or so he thought. So he stopped at the border, his head tipping up and calling out for Cat, his voice strong as he summoned her. His song coming to an end, he leveled his head and smirked. Now just to wait, and see if she would like her little surprise. Falling back to his rump, his golden eyes looked across her land as he looked out for her. He could hardly contain his excitement, he had been planning this for awhile. He wanted to wait until he felt better, and now that Wren was back he was more than ready for this. Letting out a deep breath, his breath fogged before him in the chilly afternoon. White tail thumped on the earth, as pleased as a peach.
His voice cut through the air, pulling her attention to the source. Surprise would lift a brow before pulling her forward. Not once did she ever expect to hear him calling for her at her borders. Their alliance meeting had gone rather interestingly, but they had formed an alliance nonetheless, even if it was held up by a very thing string. Silver limbs pulled her to the border with ease, her pace quick with purpose. Her curiosity would prevent her from making him wait too long. Her coral gaze came to rest on his face, a brow lifting once more. "Well, well. What do we have here?" She would coo softly, a smirk lifting the corner of her mouth. He looked rather pleased with himself, a grin on his face and his tail thumping against the earth. Her crown tipped ever so slightly to the side, eyeing him closely. What could possibly have him looking so pleased? Slowly her haunches would lower themselves to the earth, her tail flicking to curl around her hips. Audits tipped forward, her senses on high alert as she awaited the news.
He didn't have to wait long at all until the silver woman showed up, looking rather curious about what brought him here. Standing up, his tail aligned with his spine as other defenses kicked in. A wicked grin spread across his muzzle, old golden eye winking at her. "Fight me. Right here, right now." He growled, his stance set. He had been wanting to hone in on his fighting skills, and had been wanting to challenge Cat. She was strong and known to be a good fighter, and since their packs were joined by words of alliance, it would be a good test of that. He already knew that the woman was stronger than he was, but this would be a good practice for him. He knew that he could walk away pretty hurt from this, but then it was just more practice for his healers in training. Cataleya was in no doubt intrigued by his notion, and he backed up until there was about three feet between them. Ears pinned flat against his skull as his toes spread, pushing his claws into the dirt. Lips pulled back into a snarl, but his tongue snaked out between his jaws to point at Cat. This was to be a serious fight, but he was in no way challenging her dominance. This is why he was still over the boundary on the rogue side, only going to step over the line if the fight brought it that. Neck ducking to align with his spine, chin pulling closer to his chest to protect his vitals. He rolled his shoulders forward, and for the first time he really sized her up. They stood at the same height, both 36 inches tall. He was stockier than her though, he had more weight on him that she did. She was more slight, less stocky than her. He himself weighed 180 pounds, and he guessed that she was close to that. Letting out another playful growl.
