A brown long-haired coydog with black brindling and mask meanders into the crowd. One pale blue eye wanders just as lazily around his skull as he does around the crowd, while the other, brown eye does much more normal eye things. "Like, hey man," he says to all and sundry. "I guess I'm supposed to like, pick out a couple you guys and watch you like, fight and stuff? I don't know, man, that seems a little too agro for me, ya know? Like, make love, not war, man. But like, if you're sure you wanna do this I guess I'll pick some of you guys. Hey, man, how about you and you?" Its not particularly clear who he's looking at though, since his blue eye keeps wandering off in random directions as he's talking, but finally the crowd seems to unilaterally decide that he meant Pyrrhic and Aureus because everyone else backs away and they're left out in front. He blinks at them but if they weren't the ones he picked it seems like he decides he isn't going to be bothered too much, or he just couldn't remember who he actually did pick, because he just meandered off towards a circle of stones set into the ground in a ring. "Like, try to stay inside the circle, man, or like, maybe don't because like, The Man is just trying to keep you in a box by saying you'll lose if you step out of it, man. Everyone's a winner to me, man." He blinks at them, a moment, then suddenly adds, "Oh, right, man, like, you can go first ok?" At first it isn't quite obvious who he's talking to, when one eye was looking at each of them, but finally it's clear when his blue eye wanders towards the ground that he was actually looking at Pyrrhic.

Paying little mind to the coydog, Pyrrhic stepped into the ring. He strode to the center of it and then shot a smirk his brother's way. Finally a real opponent! He'd been paired with babies twice already. Granted, he was just fighting his brother and they'd only had since birth to gnaw on each other, but still. Aureus was an improvement. He was a challenge.

As he had with Pyrrhic's other fights, Benkos took a seat on the edge of the ring to watch.

Pyrrhic leaped forward suddenly and sought to line the center of his chest up with the meaty outside of Aureus' right shoulder. He jutted his chest out, front paws rising off the ground a couple of inches, and sought to slam the center of it into the center of the outside of Aureus' right shoulder. At the same time his left forepaw snaked forward in search of Aureus' right wrist in the hopes of pulling it towards him (Pyrrhic).

To round out his attack Pyrrhic sought to bite into the back of Aureus' neck. His hope was that he'd be able to grab his brother's scruff at the base of his skull and in doing so gain control of his head.

TIED TO WHAT IS LATE, AIN'T YOU NOW

His last match had been an easy victory and he hoped he wouldn't have to fight another little pup again. It had been awkward and made him uncomfortable. He wanted to get to the real fights. For the next round he couldn't have asked for a better opponent as he was paired up against his twin brother, Pyrrhic. Aureus grinned his tail wagging lightly. "I dare say this is going to be the most epic fight yet." At least in the pup division. He was sure the rest of his relatives were soundly defeating the mortals in their respective divisions. Kali brushed against his shoulder before he moved to face off against his twin. He quickly set his defenses, his limbs coiled and taught. He was ready to go.  Pyrrhic was given the first move.

His twin dove for his right side and Aureus quickly pivoted to his right to bring them face-to-face once more. Aurry's hind legs uncoiled as he launched himself forward seeking to meet his brother attack for attack and crash his chest into his brothers chest square on. As he launched himself forward he lifted both his forelimbs, seeking to throw them around the base of Pyrr's neck, just in front of the other boys shoulders. He hoped to get a grip to stabilize himself. In doing so he Pyrr's attempt at grabbing his right wrist failed.  Aureus twisted his head to his left and dove down as he sought to grab hold of Pyrr's right shoulder in his teeth. He wanted to seize right onto the front of the deltoid muscle. As he moved he felt Pyrr's teeth rip into the right side of his scruff, seizing hold but far enough back that it wouldn't limit his own attack.

The two collided with Aureus succeeding in getting his forelegs around Pyrrhic's neck. Pyrrhic was unperturbed by this; instead of trying to free himself he shoved forward with all of his might in the hopes of pushing his brother over backwards.

Knowing Aureus would surely go for a bite of his own, Pyrrhic sought to tighten his grip on his twin's scruff and wrench it down and out towards his (Pyrrhic's left). Doing so would hopefully force Aureus' head to twist up and to his (Aureus') right and either lessen his ability to inflict damage with his teeth or take it away entirely depending on how successful Pyrrhic was.

They collided into each other and he flinched at the blow. It hurt! He knew he was going to feel it later but for now he had to focus on this fight or his time in this tournament was going to be cut short. He succeded in throwing his forelimbs around the base of his brother's neck and he attempted to hold on tight as he felt his brother starting to push him backward. Aw crap! Was Pyrrhic trying to push him out of the ring? His tail flagged out behind him, his hind legs spreading wider as he tried lean his weight forward into his brother.

He felt Pyrr's grip tighten on his scruff and then his brother started to wrench his head to Aurry's right. As Aurry was going for Pyrr's right shoulder this was going to bring his head right into the right side of Pyrr's neck. So Aurry twisted his head to his own right and dove for his brother's neck, letting his twins pull on his scruff leading him that much more swiftly to his target. He sought to seize hold of the upper right side of Pyrr's neck. He wanted to get a hold to halt Pyrr's pulling of his own head in addition to doing significant damage.

The referee called the fight in his brother's favor. Though he was disappointed by the loss he couldn't think of a better wolf to lose to. Aureus was a god like him, not one of these snot-nosed little mortals running around.

His tone good-natured even though he was a bit put out, Pyrrhic said, "Good fight, Aureus. I hope your next opponent is a good one." And not one of those babies. Fighting them was no fun and no challenge. He wanted Aureus to get someone who challenged him. He wanted him to win of course, but winning was no fun if you didn't work for it.

Panting Aureus backed off as he heard he was declared the winner. A grin split across his face. Yes! He'd have been fine with either outcome, knowing his brother was as worthy an opponent as he could hope for. However, he was particularly pleased to have won in the public arena and he hoped to carry his family's name all the way to finals. It would be difficult but he felt confident he would do his family proud.

"Good fight, Aureus. I hope your next opponent is a good one."

Aureus nodded. "I hope so to. Good luck in the secondary bracket." He stepped out the ring to have Kali look over his wounds for a moment before he was sent on to his next match.
