With a new pack came new work, and Tzafar decided that she would start at home. The Commandant knew each of the members only vaguely, at best, but it was steadily growing as they lived together. Today, she’d get to know them a bit more intimately; throughout the day, she would observe all of them in combat (or, in the case of the couple of healers, how they could handle a challenge of their own). And now it was Beatrix's and Anaxilas' turn. The day was a nice one, moderately warm as the autumn days progressed. A good day for a skirmish.
The Kangal mongrel looked between the two that faced each other. They stood a few paces away from the other, ready and awaiting her orders. There was only a slight pause as their leader settled in her place, standing at the ready to watch over them. ”Okay,” she began, sweeping a brief look over each of them. Beatrix, the distant and supposed assassin who had worked briefly under Cain; she remembered her vaguely as the so-called King had attempted to take the Fortress that had been her home. Anaxilas, a creature who was honorable to a fault, a large and imposing shape that she fought alongside with. They had to be ready for their new life here. Tzafar would guide them the best that she could, in the ways that she had been guided herself. She was the Mother of this Tempest, and she would not forsake them.
”In this fight, you are not to draw blood; teeth are a crutch that you needn’t rely upon. Anything beyond that is fair game, provided you do not do permanent damage. I wish to see your technique at its rawest.” To excel, one had to be well-versed in all manners of combat. While, in theory, there weren’t really many situations that they’d be deprived of their built-in weapon, it was good to build up other aspects of the self. Bloody spars would come later; it would not do to throw them in too deep just yet.
”I will be commenting as you progress. The fight goes on until I stop it. After that, I will offer you each my assessment of your abilities. Further training will continue from that point.” There was a heavy pause as she looked one last time between to two stationary fighters, until she finally gave the go-ahead with a sage nod of her muzzle.
”You may begin.”

Okay, so I’m trying something new with these spars. These are not officially judged if you do not want them to be (if you do, go ahead and post them when they are done!). They will, however, be judged in-character by Tzafar. Therefore, most of the judging will be based on IC things, like creativity of an attack and how ‘good’ it is, general things that Tzafar can observe. And realism, of course, though that is a bit different. So talk amongst yourselves, decide if you want a judged fight. In both cases, Tzafar will give her opinion interspersed and after the fact, and will declare a winner afterwards (though in the case of judged fights, the judges will ultimately decide). Hopefully this goes smoothly, haha. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to let me know!
