Summer
With the last of the rainfall seeming to have swept across the peninsula, summer days await! The days are warm, though comfortable, and peeter off into more mild evenings while the humidity remains low. It is the perfect inbetween until things transition towards more sweltering temperatures, so best enjoy it while it is here.

Rose
The complex workings of this landscape was so strange to her. Everyone seemed nice and just handed out respect like it was something sweet to eat. Where as being civil wasn’t a new idea to the maned lioness the common workings of so many prides in one area was unexpected. She didn’t know just how many there was but she could smell many different scents. Interesting she would have to test them all. See who was strong and who was weak. The weak she wouldn’t waste her time on, but the strong she would test again and again until she found the strongest male to align her future bloodline with. Strong lion and strong lioness made stronger cubs. Strong lioness and weak lion made poor cubs. At least in her eyes. Therefore she must test everyone she met. Even females so that she herself would become stronger.
Therefore when a call came out to fight she happy answered. Chuffing back to let the stranger know she had been heard. Prowling forward Rose kept her ears pinned and her tail straight for balance. Her head was aligned with her spine and she would stop many feet away. Legs spread and knees bent ready to spring forward.
“Rose. You strong? I strong. We fight and see.” She spoke with broken English and a strong accent from her homeland. Eyes narrowed as she scanned the woman. Her brows furrowed while she peeled her lips back showing her awaiting fangs.

Ears pushed forwards as Astrid would hear a chuff hit her ear drums. Oh goodie. Someone was going to come and play. Perhaps Tyr would be blessing her today as well as the All-Father. Ears pushed backwards as teal jewels found the female stand before her. At first, she was confused. Very confused and for a brief moment it showed before her features went back to being neutral and stoic in her guard. Nostrils flared as she breathed in the unfamiliar scent and caught female. And yet she had a mane. A full mane at that. Oh well.
There were words that were spoken but none were registered as she would push herself forwards and move so that she was at an angle to @Rose's left side. She was bigger, heavier than this female and was going to take advantage of it. It also meant that she might be a bit slower but not by much as Astrid would attempt to throw herself at her opponent's left side with her front paws aiming for her side - claws outstretched. This would be fun as Astrid would be attempting to throw her entire weight at Rose. At the same time, she would be attempting to grab at the top of the shoulder blades with her jaws.

Rose
This female didn’t seem the chatty type which was fair enough with Rose. If they didn’t want to talk with words she was all to happy to talk with claws. Allowing a snarl to escape her throat the stocky lioness sized up the only woman. She was bigger, and naturally heavier. Rather or not they were slower than herself was unknown. As her gaze studied the stranger’s form she felt her body tense up for a moment before she sprung forward. Astrid had aligned herself more to Rose’s left and so it came as not surprise that the woman targeted that side.
As the two got closer Rose felt the impact and was pushed back a bit from it. Attempting to swing her hips to right she snarled as she felt jaws bite into her shoulder. Well if the other woman wanted her shoulder she wouldn’t deny it from her. Instead she attempted to push her shoulder forward. Trying to almost choke her with it. At the same time she tried to claw at her front left elbow.

Fangs met flesh and iron was tasted on her tongue as Astrid would feel the shoulder blade push into her jaws, causing her gums to grow sore as she would let go of her opponents flesh before attempting to slide with her claws attempting to dig into flesh down her opponents side back to the ground as she felt claws dig into her elbow and up her arm due to her position. Blood dripped down onto the ground as she growled in frustration and pain. There wasn't much the viking could've done with that move other than what she was attempting to do now. If she were successful, her paws would be placed back onto the ground.

Rose
The feeling of fangs and claws in her skin sent a delightful shiver down her spine. With the blood pumping wildly through her veins Rose was extremely excited to be fighting this woman. Call her a weird lioness if wanted, but the maned lady was raised for this life. She lived to battle and she’d be damned if she allowed fear to get in the way of her fun. Ears pinned against her skull as she let out a hiss of pain feeling the strangers claws make their way down her side. She was so going to be feeling that for a while.
Good, good so the stranger was smart in battle. That was strategy for the art she could respect. A fight wasn’t all about brute force after all. Snarling she furred her brows and attempted to back up and shift to stand more in-front before the Viking. She than tried to surge forward. Pushing off with her back legs in an attempt to balance herself better she aimed to push herself against Astrid’s chest. Being smaller she tried to wedge herself under the woman while trying to push backwards and knock her off balance.

Claws made purchase into the ground an Astrid felt the woman move away from her. Teal jewels watched her closely as she would let the @Rose stand before. Her breathing was heavy from using the unfamiliar muscles. The muscles that haven't been used for months due to her [s]hibernating[/b] the summer away. A growl formed as she would soon braced herself for the impact that would happen. It caused her chest to blossom and her back legs to tense up as she felt herself slide backwards a few inches. Her chest would be hurting for a while but for now Astrid would find herself twisting her head so that she would attempt to dig her fangs into the left side of Rose's thick maned neck.

Rose might like to see logic play into a battle other than sheer brute force, but she herself didn’t often think about just what she was doing. It currently at least. Attempting to push forward more. Trying to roll her shoulders forward as she tried to jab them at Astrid’s armpit area. Her hope was to make the other lady uncomfortable as she also attempted to bite Astrid’s left leg. Letting out a snarl as she felt the woman’s fangs pulling at her mane on the side of her neck. The hairs pinching at her skin making her also let out a loud growl.

Well wasn't that some shit. Astrid has once again been tossed by the Gods and lost. A growl formed as she would rip herself away from the woman before her. Her pride was not hurt. Her ego was not damaged. And though her loyalty to the Gods should be it was not, and the viking woman held herself up proudly as she would look over to the one who had given her a fight. Good fight. Strong. She would state easily enough before turning to leave. There was nothing here for her anymore so why stay? Unless the other had something to say.
