Swiftcurrent Creek All I Can Say Is

How about for giggles we do a dice-roll style thing? Each could start with 20 HP, and for each round we roll for damage...Arric can roll a 1d20, and Cygnet could get like a 1D5 if you like that? :D If that's cool with you, you can start whenever you'd like!

At six months of age, her behavior had largely gone unchecked. Arlette had earned some relatively decent behavior from her simply by feeding her and by being kind; Eshe had gained her respect by healing her from a plant toxin. Otherwise, however, she lived as a wild child, roaming the packlands with an ego that grew as quickly as her bones; an attitude that was ripe and ready for a good correction. 

Boundaries weren't something she agreed with, and she found herself growing more and more eager to push them. Arric opened his eyes and bristled slightly at her approach, but didn't immediately turn on her with fangs. This ambivalent reaction stoked the girl's ire, and it was with a snarl and a resentful sneer that she was deflected at first by a swift, deft move that made her realize that she might have chosen the wrong wolf to spar with. 

She was knocked back, but remained on her feet. He didn't lunge for her again, which gave her time to shake out her pelt and stomp one indignant foot on the ground, baring her teeth in a challenge. She didn't want him to just brush her off- she wanted a fight.
