Redtail Rise She's ahead of her time

thank you for the sparring thread! Redd is such a good sport <3

She hit the ground and felt weight on her shoulders. With a rumbling, reluctant growl she voiced her annoyance, adding a higher tone at the end to acknowledge her surrender. Her opponent was merciful and fair- she'd taken advantage of the opportunity that had presented itself, without feeling the need to punish Lilia needlessly. If the tables had been turned, Lilia might not have been quite so magnanimous. 

She rose and shook the snow out of her pelt, allowing it to fluff up a bit. As before, Redd gracious in her victory, which Lilia appreciated. Still, she thought she should have won- she could have won, if not for the damn snow...But she would try again, some day- hoping the odds might be in her favour. 

For now, they were not yet equals. Lilia struggled with her posture and technique and was beginning to learn that she couldn't seize a victory simply because she wanted it so much. She gave Redd a nod of her head and chuffed- gesturing that they should put the remainder of their energy into finding something to eat.
