Nova Peak shantaram

Thanks for the thread <3

The slender she-wolf held her breath as her body slammed against the hard ground, a wave of achey pain sweeping through her body. Arion stood above her wearing a smile she wanted to slap off his smug face. She shot him an accusing look, but relaxed her features once he backed away from hanging above her, and stood up herself. Falwasi shook the loose grass from her feathery pelt, dirt clinging in some areas credited to the drizzle. "No," she said, and meant it.

Her moment of pain ebbed away quickly as she stood up and gave her coat a good shake. She didn't care so much about losing; she didn't like to fight, and that was as simple as it gets. Fighting was a survival skill, and surviving was what she did best. Falwasi would fight when she thought necessary, but it was always good to practice.

"I'm sure Nova Peak will benefit from you," she said, dipping her head. Arion was strong and agile; versatile to any opponent. She targeted this when they were dancing — he was the perfect warrior. Without another word, Falwasi wagged her tail, turned around and loped into the woods.
