[Training] your opal eyes

If Sah were in human form, he would have grinned when he was able to quickly turn the tides of the spar. When he got Sohalia under him, the wolf hadn't been sure if he could keep her pinned. From what he could tell, even if he were objectively stronger, the jaguar had size and flexibility on her side.

When it became clear however that he had won, pride surged through him. The wolf carefully stepped off of Sohalia to let her up, his tail wagging. You did great! Sah's pride was in fact for both of them and he let its presence be known through the bond. Waiting for your opponent to make the first move is always a great choice if you're unsure of their abilities or tactics. It works the same way in hunting too. Sah playfully nudged his shoulder against Sohalia's, Well done.

With the spar complete, Sah allowed the jaguar to rise. She'd have to give some thought to how she might wiggle out of such a hold in the future. She was bigger than Sah in this form, and it seemed like she should have been able to outmaneuver him. Still, she wasn't disappointed. She'd held her own up until the end, and that was more than she could say for other spars.

Thank you, she said seriously, making mental notes of the tips Sah offered. I appreciate it. This was fun! I've never sparred in a shift before. She didn't spar much at all, to be fair, but this was a first all the same. Want to head to Sidhe Village? I could use some lunch after all that. And so off they went, headed back to the Fae village and civilization.
