Swiftcurrent Creek but dreams come slow

Current HP: Jinx does a partial attack (5 damage) and Njal gets a glancing defend (-1).

9-4 = 5/20

He was caught and he knew it; as much as it infuriated him to lose a spar, Njal was simultaneously glad. That he had lost against someone so formidable (and so young) gave him a burst of hope for the pack as a whole. He struggled regardless, not wanting to lose outright, but Jinx had him in a good hold. The burly woman held his writhing self until he bayed a wheezing, tired call. Surrender, the sound implied. Njal was exhausted and there was little fight left in him.
