Blackfeather Woods Tonight we are victorious

Just a note, rank challenges aren't supposed to lead to spars or anything like that. c: Also, given these twos' personalities, I think we may need @Burke and/or @Nemesis to decide the outcome of this thread. :o

The female had shown signs of aggression, revealing to him her incisors and growling. Xan could not accept such behavior, especially from someone he felt was already beneath him despite their current ranks. His own lips curled back as he snarled, warning her. His ears remained forward and his tail was stiff over his back, gaze never leaving her own. Even when she'd started to act as if she was injured, he did not back down or soften his glare. If she had truly been injured, he did not care, for he knew not who she was. He had no connection to her, thereby preventing him from feeling anything in regards to her well-being. Thus, the boy kept his posture rigid but balanced, head raised up but with his chin tilted down. He would show his strength by protecting his lifeline, while also displaying dominance over the woman.

"Back down," he'd commanded, just barely managing to get the phrase out. It was gargled, rough and deep, having exited his mouth with a growl in tow. He would not back down, as he felt himself to have dealt with too much to remain beneath the fresh meat of the pack.
