wears down my bones but they're not broken
There was clear hesitation, and for a moment Aisha thought she'd chosen the wrong predator. Though he wore the skin, he didn't have to become it as she did hers, a huntress and warrior of claw and bone. She thought to retract the offer, but he caught her just before, agreeing to the spar with a lightheartedness about him. Another purr, satisfaction and delight, this would be fun.
She stepped away as he did, angling herself into a good beginning position, on that betrayed her offensive intent. This was not a beast to wait around with; she had speed on him, not strength or endurance, and she knew to use it. He let out a mighty bellow, ringing through the streets and drawing faces to the windows. She wondered if the people here were used to sights like this, or if they'd have an audience soon.
That thought was pushed away as she locked her mind into the spar. Dark claws dug into the ground as she prepared to launch herself forwards. She used that foundation to press off the ground, paws leaving the snow behind as she darted forwards. The leopardess made it in close to the bear, aiming to grab his shoulder in her jaws and pull him to the side. She had no plans to draw blood, but it wouldn't be a pleasant feeling either.
