All Welcome 
Setting: Evening — 1800. 74 degrees — clear skies. Set in the sub-territory of Cardinal Grove.

@Vanity

The massive wolf walks through the forest of their territory, not really having a goal in mind, but he continues walking. Perhaps if he keeps walking he’ll think of something to do. He wants to train, he want to get his blood pumping but, he’s also just wanting to have a nice calm walk. He seems to be very indecisive in the moment. 

Though as he comes to a clearing known to them as Cardinal Grove, he’s astonished by the wild flowers and the clear skies. Hell he could walk around her for hours at least. It’s so much better in the summer it seems. His ghostly eyes greedily take up the sights as he strides through the field of flowers, clearly very distracted.

She'd just finished her training with Famine and had gone for a lope through the forest as the sun started to lower in the skies.
Her tail waved high as she slowed into Cardinal Grove and spotted the lumbering form of Santi.

She chuffed, panting, and trotted over to him.
"Good to see you again," she grinned, brushing shoulders with him.
"How was the trip?"
She was interested and would find out all the details later even if he just gave her a blunt response now.

His heart jumps as he hears her steps in the grass come closer. Too distracted he almost thought she was someone or something else. Then he lets loose a relieved sigh when she brushes shoulders with him and greets him rather politely.

Gazing to the left of him he smiles easily. “Me asustaste.” He chuckles to her. “Besides that you almost killed me just now, I’m not dead so there’s that. You, chica?”

At mentioning the trip to Ursus he hums in deep thought. “It wasn’t bad, but not something I really feel like speaking about too much at the moment.” He says politely but easily. He doesn’t want the short tempered she-wolf to kill him for being rude to her so he decides to go the nice route with that one.

“What brings you out here then?”

She laughed, tilting her head to give the man - who no one would want to attack, at least alone - a look of somewhat bewilderment.
"You? Scared of me?" Her eyes danced with mischief, tail swaying with good vibes.
She laughed again, playfully jumping up to gently snap at his cheek.
And if he couldn't tell, she was in a very good mood.

"Ok well I'll find out anyway," maybe he was just scared of getting some detail wrong and feared the wrath that would ensue.
She hoped they'd fight side by side on the battlefield.

"I wanna fight," she answered. They needed to train, and she needed pointers on where to fix her skills, like leaving her flank open, or missing easy moves.
"We need to find each other's weaknesses ok," she grinned, bouncing away from him, expecting him to agree to her requests.

Santi’s eyes, as silver and as sharp as a blade, gaze over to her and he raises brows along with the smile he has at the females laughter. “Only sometimes.” He answers back with a chuckle. Then as she hops towards him enthusiastically and bites at cheek his smile grows wider. She’s in quite the good mood today. The wolf thinks to himself.

His nun of a tails gives a few puny, borderline useless wags as her playful body language and tone allows him to lighten up. Now even he wants to go at it. Now that Santi thinks about it, he’d love a good spar and she does make a valid point. So, why not?

At this point a grin bestows itself on his raven muzzle and his eyes gleam devilishly. “A spar it is then.” He says, enthusiastically running towards her as she jumps away. His paw juts out playfully looking to hit her in the shoulder and give a good shove, though only lucky will know if he hits or misses.

Sometimes it was hard to tell what mood Santiago was in, but from the small, stumpy wag she knew he was game.
She snorted at his remark, though hardly offended. Only sometimes was good for a friend.

And as he announced his participation of a spar, his paw came sweeping at her.
With her light, quick footwork, she sidestepped just out of reach and drove for him, starting low with her ears slicked, driving up for a gentle snap at his general neck and chest area, wondering how he was going to counter it.

Would he pull a Venny and conk her with his head? Or be more sophisticated and dodge in favour of his own attack, or even decide to sweep her over again and pin her?

The she-wolf is fast enough to get the gain on him. Right after she dodges his last attack, the opening for attack is sure to hit for he is unsuccessful in his dodge and even more so in his next attack. He’s already off his game it seems, or perhaps Vanity is just good. Something he doesn’t doubt.

Her teeth raked through his fur, perhaps gently nipping the skin.
She grinned, proud of herself.
And hopefully he'd remember to save his flanks next time. Though next time may even be in a war.

She brought some distance between them, now going on the defensive for him to have a pot shot at her. If he did better here, then it would be a good idea for him to be on the offensive so he can overwhelm the wolf he attacks, rather than trying to protect himself and deal damage.

Besides, she needed to know wat she needed to work on.

His lip snarls into a smile as she bites at his pelt. He  knows she’s showing him up right now and perhaps she’ll continue to. For now as he jumps forward to close the distance between them, both of his attacks are a miss and therefore leave him open for attacks again. This time though his lip snarls up in disappointment. And his brows furrow. All he can do now is prepare for Vanity’s next attack.

It seemed she was too fast for the bute, who was probably used to having his opponent be either too scared to fight, or ready to launch themselves into his waiting jaws.
Vanity, not so much.

Her gameplay was evasion until she found her opening to strike, and with his failed attempts to snag her, she found her opening.
As he went for her shoulder, she managed to sidestep out of his reach and dipped her head, making it seem like she'd snap up his leg.
One of her oldest tricks was not committing to a feint when it would be hard for her opponent to tell.

As he recoiled to protect himself, she pushed forwards, going for his flank, and ultimately headbutting him rather than biting, because she didn't want to accidentally latch on and have him rip himself open.
The dice is never this nice to me xD

The she-wolf is anything but slow. This he finds out the hard way. And instantly he’s mustering curses under his breath at the hits she gets on him. He chuckles and his brows furrow, though the smirk he has on his face isn’t so much irritated as they previously were. It’s lively, for this is a real spar and it seems like she’s going to make him work for his victory. He accepts that. 

Though as she headbutt a his leg it buckled out from underneath him for a second. He wouldn’t be surprised if she goes in for another attack then. He chuckles. “You’re good, chica.” Is all he pants out in his Spanish lilt. “But I haven’t lost yet.”

With that, he surges forward and is able to bite at the fluffy fur of her neck. He seems to have learned his lesson though because right after the attack is dealt he goes on the defensive and hops away from her ready to watch for her next attack.

She recoiled from her headbutt.
Damn, she really should not do that.
It seemed she still have some weakness after Venny conked her really hard that one time.
that or Santi's legs were really tree trunks in wolf skin.

"Tu tambien eres bueno Soldado."
And the respect was rightly due as he lunged for her, using his immense size to overwhelm her defense and land a nip to her neck.
Fighting a wolf who fought like that was dangerous.
Vengeance.

She shook her head, hackles bristling at her thoughts.
He's dead.
He didn't love her, so why did she care so much?

But this time, rather than going for him again with a hot-head of fury, she resigned. She knew better, and smirked, telling him she was done and needed to tend to her children. He agreed and moved off to get a bite to eat whilst she trotted back to her den. Head swimming with her former lover.
