Cloud 9

Maybe it wasn't the best idea to have the winner do the chore. It didn't fit the purpose of a gamble. But Nishu wasn't interested in making Rain lose. He wanted to see her will. If she was only focused on winning the bet she wouldn't fight anymore. That would lead to a disappointment. The fight here was to show strength under the moon. He had created a win/lose situation which something Nishu had to know how to deal with. It's impossible to have a complete win without a little lost somewhere. His trainers made sure that he understood that. "Being stronger comes with more responsibilities. Are you really up for it?" He said with a smile. He sounded like one of his teachers he sparred with. He could never forget those words.

The moment he heard a change in her stepping and rotated towards her direction. He turned to quickly and caused a misstep which made his stance off balance. It was too late to do recover from his mistake. It forced Rain to go for his left side. Only due to his fighting experience he had the reflex to let himself fall and then push on the ground with all his legs thursting his back towards her front legs in attempt to trip her over him.

Maybe he shouldn't have tried showing off a bit but that didn't stop him from fighting as he usually does. Even if he wins, catching something for her wasn't a problem at all. He already had an idea of where to start hunting. The challenge would be catching something for the two of them, and that he was up for it.
