Pyralis moved off to a clearing, Alkali flying above her. It would be fun to spar her grand niece. "Why don't you sit this one out, Alkali?" The bird nodded and flew into a tree to watch the proceedings. Pyralis began to stretch as she waited for the girl to catch up with her. She could feel her joints groaning as she stretched but within a few moments she felt limbered up. Turning to grin at her niece she swiftly set her defenses. Her hackles raised, her head and tail shifting to align with her spine. Her ears flattened against her head as she finished adjusting her stance and balancing her weight. "You can go first dear."

With the spars starting more or less all at once Malleus had come to grips with his inability to observe them all. He was determined to watch as many as he could, though, and it was for that reason that he now trotted quickly over to Pyralis, who was waiting for Felicity. Once the fight was underway he'd observe for a few moments and then run off to the next. Though he was near enough to observe, Malleus chose not to engage Pyralis beyond a simple nod. He didn't want to hold up the spar once Felicity was ready.
