Redtail Rise She's ahead of her time

tried to do it in character! I can adjust

Lilia seemed to take a renewed attempt when she stepped back, but lost her footing.  Redd still wasn’t certain of the parameters of the fight, but here was a chance to end it either way.  She surged forward and moved to pin her opponent down, planting her weight on the girl’s side and keeping out of reach.  Avoiding any snaps, she rumbled near her throat, indicating without an actual grab that the fight had been won.

It was possible that Lilia could have broken free - she was small and crafty, and Redd would not underestimate her.  But she could not do so before Redd could get fangs in her throat.  If this were a hunt she would be felled.

She did not feel the need to wait for submission, however, before letting Lilia up.  This had not been for that.  This was to test themselves, as equals, for the fight they would soon face.  She felt they both had done well, and her tail swayed behind her at friendly neutral as she stepped back.
