Golden Glade The Strength Within

Nico did not fail to notice the faint blush that formed on her cheeks after he'd winked and smiled at her, and while he was rather amused at himself for his ability to make others fall for him and swoon, another part of him realised that it might end badly for her, thus making him rethink his decision. Before the soldier had the time to do so, however, Shalon rushed at him, apparently trying to catch him off guard. He had too much experience for that, however, and quickly sidestepped, a slow smile playing languidly on his lips as he began circling her, his movements subtle and graceful, but holding, within them, the deadliness of a predator. His eyes scanned her movements sharply, trying to notice a flaw, or an opening, in which he could attack her.

In a flash, he lunged at her, feinting a blow for her shoulder while lowering his muzzle at the last second, trying to pull her left forlimb out from beneath her, thus, if successful, unbalancing her. Whether he was successful or not, Nico would back away immediately after he made his move, ready to resume his dance once more.
