+10 observe a fight (drena vs. tripfire) (double xp from amara)

Amara Dieudonné. He knew that name well, she needn't introduce herself again. Although he supposed it was out of courtesy and for everybody else here that was unaware of the Wolfbron... Queen. The purpose of her presence was training. Ah, as much as he was unwilling to even breathe the same air as the Wolfbron lions - he knew the value in the exercise. It would serve to strengthen their alliance, no doubt. @Alaric would be pleased. As for suggestions of pairing them, the alabaster princeling nodded, gazing around to see who has arrived. "Of course," he said, then called out to everyone. "You heard High Sovereign Amara. Find a partner, regardless of age. Cubs should practice with other cubs preferably." he instructed.

Speaking of the Mire Monarch, he comes to settle beside his Heir. Luther flickered an ear, studying the man's reaction. Soon, @Tripfire and none other than @Drena began a fight, and Luther sat down to observe them. He'd fought the woman once when he'd claimed her, and now perhaps he could study and learn her weaknesses.

A larger group than she anticipated began to gather, and Tinúviel was swift to duck out of the way of @Luther ♔ as he came near to the Wolfbron Queen. It is only the reassuring presence of @Livyatan that eases her nerves, and she offers a brief and shy smile toward the male, hoping that his healing was going well, and that he would find the energy and strength to perhaps test his mettle that day. Certainly, that is why he was here, no? If not, perhaps he could study them; the thought of it appealed to her far more, considering he was not too far out of his injuries.

Even as @Alaric arrives, Tinúviel is pointedly unnoticed, and she is content for that. There are far too many faces here for her to not slip so easily between the crowds, and toward the sidelines she meanders, hopeful that the few herbs she'd brought with her would be enough to sate the needs of this many. As fights began to break out, however, she knew she would need far more than she had gathered. Her eyes quickly scanned toward the few already engaging together, unafraid to utilize aggression to gain the upper hand. She bit her lower lip, and sparing the others a quick glance, began to hastily make her way back toward her den to gather more herbs, to prepare them for the many that would emerge scraped and bruised and starved for glory.

Rusalka giggled as she stayed wrapped in his paws, she listened as he spoke and then she stepped back, eyeing his father and his great aunt, eyes full of wonder, "" Wow, so you're the High Sovereigns nephew. That must be really cool!' She stated, of course she could have bragged that she was the Jarls daughter but she was smart, and didn't disclose anything about her last name.

She looked at his little brother and smiled, warmly welcoming the little boy, "" Hello Mars, I'm Rusalka.' She offered, before returning her gaze to her friend, "" I'd love to wrestle!'

Livyatan often was cold, and disinterested in most others. However, this sentiment was not true of his fellow pride mates. He actually enjoyed the majority of their company. Particularly that of Alaric, Luther, Guilia, and Tinúviel. So when @Tinúviel smiled at him he even offered a rare smile back to further reassure her. She was their healer, he wouldn't let anything harmful come to her. Fights began to go off slowly and he watched them but when she moved he turned his head slightly to watch. And with a grunt he moved to follow her, maybe she needed help gathering more herbs. He could help her carry the excess she needed. If Guilia was around then maybe he would be sticking around to show off and impress but having not seen her he decided to help the woman who healed his face.

@Tinúviel

Things began to wane as he observed the battle between Drena and the Wolfbron man. They fiercely tore into eachother, and he couldn't help but notice that it was far more than a simple spar. There were claw & teeth involved, as there should be. He supported their spirit.

Members of both prides began to leave. The healers seemed to depart with bigger stashes of herbs, while the fighters with a bit more knowledge. Or so he liked to think, anyway. He hadn't paid too much attention to everyone else but the fight in front of him. And so, when he'd seen enough, he stands up to leave.

Beñat's face brightened when Mars introduced himself, at least he was being braver than before! Then he grinned happily, yes! A chance to test his skillz! Bouncing back he gently moved Mars out of the way and spoke to him, "Stay here ok?" and then he darted forward towards @Rusalka running he attempted to tackle her to the ground. No claws of course, this was a friendly session no need to get serious, right? He attempted to then lightly bat at her face while laughing. Everything at this age was just practise for the later stages where he would have to be serious!


Beñat vs Rusalka

Fun!

The forest-coated woman goes in for the attack upon the bright lion's paw as it retreats, leaving a few raked marks over top of it. That would no doubt be painful to walk on for at least a few days depending on how deeply it held. The lion was brave to set the injured one back down in an effort to raise his other; balance could be so easily lost now should his injured one buckle.

Either way, the fight was beginning to wane and Carina noticed a few of the lions were beginning to take their leave. Was this truly the only fight to be had? Blinking a few times with confusion as she decided to take her herbs and collect a few more. Dropping them nearby should any of the healers present wish to take what she had been collecting if they intended on patching up either of the combatants. The likelihood of their skill being better than hers was quite high and even if she was selfishly wanting to heal them, they were better off with a trained individual.

Once she left them behind she wandered off to collect more of it for herself. The gnetum roots were rather common in the swampy jungle area. Carefully removing the branches for their leaves and seeds. Not wishing to make a mess of them nor leave any trace of her presence behind, either, as she stripped them of unusable or unnecessary things before taking a few in her mouth and beginning to depart. If the Ecrosia lioness truly needed healing, Carina would be on call nearby but from where she stood there were plenty of healers. exit carina

Naturally she didn't have any interest in fighting any of the Wolfbron lions. She did take notice of Luther ordering cubs to pair up with other cubs, it made sense because naturally you didn't want one of them getting injured in the process. That would have been a horrible introduction of prides to each other. For a few moments she is content with watching, noticing in particular as a man and woman pair up, both equally as ferocious as the other even if it was supposed to just be a "spar". Knowing she had likely seen most of what she needed to Giulia would crawl out of her fallen log, making her way back through the fog, hopefully still unnoticed by the others. Just as she preferred anyways.

Her teeth graze his paw just barely, it certainly isn't enough contact to satisfy the woman by any means. Suddenly however she feels him hook into her back with his greedy claws, a snarl bellows from her lungs as she feels herself sliding backward in the muck underneath them. With newfound fury Drena would dig into the ground with her hind paws, surging forward as she attempts to ram her left shoulder against Tripfire once more. In a split decision her teeth would snap outward, attempting to connect with the man's forehead in a last-ditch effort to cause bloodshed. Drena was a fighter through and through, she would do whatever it took to at least leave a lasting impression with the man.

The young seeress's ear twitches at the sound of clashing bodies that inevitably rings out into the air, surprisingly forceful for what she might have expected to come from a friendly spar. If her nose is picking things up correctly (which it rarely didn't), she'd say that there was even a bit of blood being drawn. Interesting. Well, perhaps everyone just happened to be feeling a bit overly excited.

For her part, Hadiya still rather doubts that anyone will end up bleeding out into the mud today. There's not enough tension in the air for that, she thinks.

The girl sticks around for a bit, but being both unable to appreciate the fine details of whatever combative displays are going on and disinterested in participating herself, it doesn't take particularly long for her to grow bored and fidgety. "Here. You can take some if you need." She generously sweeps a few bits of her horsetail collection over towards Dobromira as she stands, sending another smile in the woman's direction. "You can chew it down if you want to use it on yourself, but try not to swallow too much of it!" Is the last bit of 'wisdom' she has to offer, tossed over her shoulder while the yearling was already wandering off.

She won't go too far - she'll still hear it if someone starts screaming bloody murder, but she'd rather keep her paws busy in the meantime, even if the usefulness of her idle poking of the swamp plants isn't immediately apparent to the outside eye. But she has her methods. There are some interesting-smelling mosses growing on some damp rocks just over yonder, near another pool of horsetail. If she wants to find out what they do, she might as well peel a few strands away and set them out to dry in the sun too.
