Tonravik made to nip at his paw, but did not grab it. Arverk knew that she did that so he would be aware of it and not make the same mistake next time. Damn it. He was being so stupidly careless once more, he would have to spar frequently then, seeing as everytime he stopped training for sometime, his skills quickly grew rusty. Sometimes he missed being an assassin, as the solitary missions allowed him free time as well as kept his skills from rusting. But then compared to the benefits of being a Spine member....being an assassin wasn't really worth it.

Tonravik moved forward, lowering herself as she made to charge forward, causing their chests to collide but he was quick and cuffed her side, his blunt claws scratched but did not break through her skin. She surged forward, aiming to press him back. Arverk obliged and backpedaled a few steps, releasing his hold, just to charge forward once more with flattened ears and dipped snout. He aimed to slip behind her and push her off balance.
