Swiftcurrent Creek the fire in my gaze

The grey male stared at him directly -- causing the hackles of the regal to bristle beneath not only the scrutiny, but the disrespect. He shifted it however, seemingly not up to challenge, and Scimitar allowed a moment of silence to stretch between the two.

Shadow spoke then -- a statement that could have been taken seriously had the male not been so close to Bazi in age, and thus, hypocritical. He chuffed quietly at this -- Bazi had a mind of her own, and thus far, she had not done much consulting with her Beta.

But it was moot to rise this topic, nor did he find himself too keen on discussing Bazi with the beast before him. "Care to blow off some steam?" His tone was a deep rumble as he shifted his large figure then -- a behemoth in his own right, but that hadn't stopped Shadow's agility from winning their previous spar. Eager to take away soem tension from his own muscles, Scim knew his best bet was the male before him. If nothing else, at least Shadow made a fine sparring partner.

Lowering his chin to protect his nape, Scimitar's ears flattened and his paws widened in stance for better balance. He would allow the silver male the first move, and the decision for a morning fight.
