Redsand Canyon where habits have teeth and the words carry knives

Very lion king! And okay! Let me know if any PP is not okay at any point <3

Aquene felt satisfaction as the other woman reared, and in many ways that was what Aquene wanted precisely. She knew she would need to act fast in order to maintain the action. She felt contact with the underbelly, hoping to knock the already rearing Redhawk onto her back so she might crouch over and place teeth near her neck, the typical showing of a victory for a Mereo spar as she had learned.

 
Did the woman know that? If not, Aquene supposed that she was about to learn. Aquene was no master fighter, but she did know the decorum of spars with the Imperator and the other auxiliary… At least she had that going for her, right?
