She had gotten used to the daily routine by now and patrolled in the morning. Walking the borders she checked to make sure everything was normal. As she finished her first round the morning sun had brightened the sky even if it was still hiding behind grey clouds. Still the weather was dry and the rain had stopped making it an ideal time for some training.

Going to the training grounds for the lagoon she stretched before calling out to see if anyone wanted to join her in training today. Nothing major just a simple dominance match would suffice.

As she waited she got her defenses ready. Head becoming even with her spine, tail straight out for balance, legs evenly spread out with knees bent. She pinned her ears and narrowed her eyes while keeping her jaw partly ajarred. Ready she waited to see if anyone would accept her offer.

Feeling anxious after the meeting, she decided to stroll through the Lagoon searching for any herbs she could add to her stash. It was likely she'd have to go into the main parts of Amaryllis to find more. She passes by the training area, blue orbs picking up on the form of Fairytale. She gives a soft chuff of greeting to the lioness. Normally, she would sit on the sidelines and observe whoever came to spar with the red female, but today she decided it was she who could work on her skills. There was no telling when danger might happen and so Rhea wanted to be ready so that she could better protect the Lagoon. Facing the other, she would charge forward attempting to slash her claws onto the side of Fairytale's face.

In some ways, he felt he should have just continued moving along and to mind his own business. Yet he sees @Fairytale and @Rhea beginning to fight and while his first instinct was to rush in and break it up, he sees vague signs that this is not a squabble but simply an act of a test. A fight for nothing specific except for the chance to better balance their strengths and their weaknesses. So Chaeton moves in to witness them, their offense and their defense. One swing countered with another, as he seats himself upon a flat boulder that was nestled firmly into the sand and begins to idly scratch his own claws into the top. Sharpening them with each movement as his eyes dare to not leave the sanctity that was a good-natured spar.

The wait for someone wasn’t too bad, but she hadn’t expected that her opponent was going to be the medic. It didn’t matter for she was still thankful for the practice and that she had been vigilant in making sure her defenses were set already as a claw slashed across her left cheek. Smiling with slightly open jaws and narrowed eyes she snarled through the pain as she attempted to return the favor by attempting to push off on her hind legs and tried to push Rhea away. Front paws lifting as she attempted to place one on each of the girls shoulders her claws partly out but at the same time she was trying to avoid doing anything too serious. If war was coming best not do anything majorly damaging.

She lands a successful smack and Rhea feels her belly twist in discomfort. She hated seeing her own talons succeed in damaging another being. She has to force herself to focus, almost forgetting that they are training as the temptation to stop and heal the cut that she has caused comes on strong. "Sorry," she murmurs softly to the red lioness, but before she can say much more the other is on her. Shoving into her shoulders as Rhea feels the prick of claws. Blood drips from her own pelt now, the lioness. Again she shoots up one paw - half heartedly as she tries to strike at Fairytale's chest. Perhaps someone else should of been her spar partner.

The pink woman was glad that the medic was practicing with her. Everyone should be able to defend themselves in battle at least with the basics. Ears pinning as she lets out a soft gasp as she feels Rhea smack her in the chest knocking a bit of wind out of her breast. "Don’t worry. Nothing to apologize for." She chuffed after a sorry was given. Though she wondered why the healer had joined her as her opponent if she really didn’t want to fight? Pushing that aside she attempted to kick up sand and toss it towards Rhea’s face while also attempting to get closer and try to lick the woman’s right eye. Always keep them guessing. Right? Hopefully.

Her opponent soothes her, but Rhea knows she must focus only giving the red lioness a small nod. It was okay, this was just for practice. She knew how to fight, but having to do it without being forced was strange for her. She feels worse when Fairytale gives a gasp at her chest move. Though she only has a second to feel that way before grainy bits of sand are flying at her face, Rhea instinctively closing her eyes to avoid the burning of getting the sand out of her eyes later. Then she feels a lick? On her eye? Strange. Now she throws her own pawful of sand, but blindly before she carefully opens one eye. Then, she would bring her limb up to quickly swipe away the sand that had clung to her face.

This was a serious fight. One of practice but serious at the same time. Why then did it feel like it wasn’t being taken seriously by either of them? At least not at the end. Licking an opponent wasn’t the most exciting move but it was definitely not a normal one. The sand she had thrown had done its job and it seemed it had done too well as the move was used against her. Getting sand in her own face she coughed and snorted as it got up her nose. "Aww. Doley noted." She half laughed as she shook her head to get rid of the sand grains. "Sand works too well best to only use against enemies in single fights." She added as she would hate for these to be friendly fire.

FAIRYTALE HAS WON THE CHALLENGE FOR DOMINANCE!

The results of this fight cannot be acknowledged ICly until either both challengers have responded or 3 days have gone by — whichever comes first. Any posts breaking this rule will be removed.

She loses, but the medic does not take it in a negative way. She just needed practice considering how rusty she was with her skills and how far she had ran from violence. Rhea dips her skull respectfully to @Fairytale. "Good job," she smiles softly before turning to those gathered and giving them a similar nod as well before she turns to head back towards her den. She would patch up the few cuts she had (at least they were minor) and besides a slight discomfort they wouldn't bother her for too long. Maybe she could ask Guelle to practice with her sometime. She would probably worry less that he might take a wound from her in a bad way.
