Conclude at 10 posts? Mild PP on end of the fight, I can edit if you mind. :)

A twinkle flitted across his golden eyes for a brief second when she spoke, answering to his challenge. Sparring/fighting helped his mind a lot. Hunting and exploring did little to take his mind off things, he resorted to poppy seeds almost every time. Sometimes he even tried Morning Glory and Nutmeg, or whatever herb he could find that he recognized and knew would be useful in taking his mind of things. It probably wasn't good for his health, but Arion honestly did not care, for if he did nothing to quiet his mind, it would tear itself to pieces and that wasn't something he wanted.

The fight soon began after the two of them shifted into a combative stance, a look of intense concentration found its way onto the stallion's face as his mind began forming all sorts of strategies and tactics that would give him a good chance of winning. But first he needed to see her fight, analyze her and find her weaknesses. Then Arion would adapt to her fighting style, using the most effective moves to target her weakness.

Falwasi made the first move, darting around him to nip at his heels, the stallion sidestepped easily, with the grace of a panther and immediately dove into attacking, trying to goad her into showing him her moves, therefore letting him determine her weakness. The stallion was careful to be gentle though, breaking skin and letting blood flow was not something the Alphas probably wanted from a friendly spar. His opponent was agile, and if he had been a wolf like Scimitar, he would probably have lost already, but he wasn't and he matched her step by step.

Nothing mattered to him then, but the fight and once he found flaws in her defense, he dove in and more than often his attack was successful, he made sure to keep his defense secured as well, because a shitty defense would mean an easy defeat. Arion admired her fighting style, and concluded she was a good opponent, and worth sparring with. The fight ended when she attempted to dodge his charging attack and failed, using his weight, he slammed against her and knocked her not too gently onto the ground, with him above her. "I think we've seen what I can do," he said, flashing her a smile and rising onto his paws. "Are you hurt?" That last blow was pretty heavy after all.
