Phoenix Maplewood Leaving your keys in my car

Heloise felt her fur lay flat. it was over. she did not care who won, only that it was good exercise and a decent spar. her grip released on his fur, she would step back to access any damage she had done him. her shoulder ached, and there was a small cut upon her body but all would heal. "I am fine, thank you." she would reply formally, not wishing him to trouble himself. they had both agreed to the practice and some bruises would be won naturally. she did not expected to come away with anything less than what she had gotten.

he seemed fine enough to move, so she would keep her own concerns close. he would gift her his name at last. Derg. her skull lowered in a nod. "Heloise cel Mare" it was now a custom to introduce herself with her full title. the ivory woman hoped he had learned from this bout, about how a clever mind could be just as good as brute force. for not all opponents would be so forgiving. many would take clear advantage of any situation given. and luckily for him, she had never made the practice spar more than a practice spar.

a few times she had gripped his neck and could have done a high amount of damage. "tell me of this wolf that attacked your ward" she would request instead. Heloise was new to the wilds, and she desired to know who to avoid and who to embrace.
