I was just a kid

The raid that he'd participated in against the pirate pack had admittedly bruised Veigar's ego. Though his first fight had gone well enough his second had left him feeling worse for wear. Though he couldn't quite see the scar his opponent had inflicted upon his shoulder he knew it was there, judging by how long it was taking to heal. He was even more frustrated with how Aryn had fared. He was supposed to be the one protecting her now that he was grown, not the other way around - even with his fading sight. He was determined to put up even more of a fight next time.
But to make that happen he knew he needed to work on his fighting skills, against whoever would give him the time of day. Standing in the middle of the redbud forest he tipped his head back and let loose a call for an opponent. It'd be a friendly spar, sure, but it'd give him time to focus on his tactics now that he knew he couldn't rely on his sight during fights, at least not very much. He was too sore to get into it with a stranger right now, so a packmate was the next best option, even if it meant the stakes were low.

Veigar is completely blind; his eyes are a hazy shade of pale yellow, though he tries his best to hide this fact.
His saliva also glows a faint shade of neon green since the Ooze event.

While Widow might not admit to enjoying fighting, she would certainly admit that she didn't like losing. She was taken out just as quickly as she had arrived and it left her more than frustrated. In fact, she was quite pissed off about it and it easily distracted her from the pain she felt in her rear left heel. The older and smaller mans teeth had scraped up the flesh pretty bad, though her ligaments and inner workings seemed to be fine for the most part. It didn't stop her from limping however, but the bandage wrapped around it with an antibacterial salve wasn't very easy to walk with either.
She was stewing around the nook when she heard the call from Veigar searching for a friendly battle. She hadn't taken time to notice how others had done once she failed, so she couldn't help but wonder if he was in the same boat. She hardly felt the need to carry her staff around the packlands, but her cloak remained draped over her to hide the limp and her shame. Even her companions had stayed home, though that was because they had taken over her chores while she let her leg and emotions rest.
Her trajectory changed towards the young man and it wasn't long before she came across him, still waiting on a challenger. Despite her damaged heel, her damaged ego needed a bit of a repair. Maybe getting back to the basics would help, besides she didn't have her staff and companions anyway and calling for them would be silly for a friendly spar. "Don't mind if I do. You start," she said, shrugging off her cloak and tossing it aside.

At least he wasn't the only one left frustrated by his performance in the raid. Though he'd bested one opponent his second fight hadn't gone so well and he wasn't satisfied with how he'd done. Perhaps if he'd spent more time lately training he would've found himself the victor. No use dwelling on the past tough when he could move forward and work on self-improvement. He struggled to focus on the larger female that approached; her scent was familiar but he didn't know her very well at all. Without being able to see her features well her name didn't quite click into place, but she was clearly Habari and that was all that mattered.
"Sure," came his simple response. Though he was sore too he was determined to get to business and stretch his sore limbs right away. He wasted little time in sinking into a fighting pose, lowering his center of gravity and squaring his shoulders before charging. Even with a packmate his fighting style was a bit frenzied and without much in the way of defenses. He didn't have the ability to see what was going on as well as most wolves - and he knew someday that would be an even larger disadvantage - so he had to act instead of react and hope he could gain the upper paw right away.
His jaw unhinged as he aimed to seek hold of the top of her left shoulder, holding to throw his weight hard into hers and cause her to lose her balance right away. He knew it might not work but he was willing to try - she was considerably taller him and thus heavier and it would be difficult for him to use sheer force to send her to the ground.

Although Widow wasn't the most talkative of the pack, she knew Veigar from when they were younger. She didn't keep up with anyone else then, but now as she aged she felt she should at least know who was who. It wasn't easy for her to forget a name once she learned it, so while the boys voice may have been unfamiliar to her, his face certainly was not. She remembered he had trouble seeing, though she wasn't sure why. Was it like mom, or was it different? While she was definitely the type to poke and pry for knowledge, not while her interviewee was charging towards her with the intend of sinking fangs into flesh. She braced herself for the collision, dexterous toes and sharpened claws digging into the ground of the nook for balance.
He came at her left side, reaching with open jaws to grab at her shoulder though she was quick to drop her left shoulder to not only avoid the teeth coming for her, but also to use the point of her scapula to combat his weight that he threw into her. Her neck whipped around in the same moment her shoulder dropped, straining and reaching for the young man's rear left heel. Matching bandages?!

Unsurprisingly Widow didn't go down as easily as he hoped she would, though he hadn't really expected her to. Unfortunately, she ducked low and completely avoided his teeth that had been aiming for her shoulder though still, he collided with her, just much less hard than he'd hoped. Her neck twisted to the side, aiming for his rear left heel, an attack he couldn't easily dodge if he wanted to maintain their close quarters. It would likely upset his balance but he didn't want to try to pry himself away and lose the ability to overpower her, a hope he was still clinging on to. His own teeth saught whatever body part he could snatch - mirroring her movements pretty closely as he tried to strain to reach her hind left leg, leaving them both grappling with each other.

They were grappling with each other now, Widow reaching for his closest rear limb to her and Veigar reaching for her. She snapped towards the appendage but never felt her fangs clip the flesh, hissing as her maneuver failed. She had hoped it would have at least unbalanced him as he tried to escape, but he was far too smart for that and instead sought to hold on to her wherever he could grasp.
She felt his fangs scrape the flesh of her left leg and she hissed, immediately ending her attempted assault on the yearling's limb and redirecting her strength, or rather her weight, towards the ground and hoping to take the yearling with her as a forepaw swept out before her to knock a leg or two out from under the young man.
