    Rosalind bounced in an exited manner, still having her little kit-like nature. It was slowing slipping away, but she didn't know that. "Mother would of course win!" she exclaimed, agreeing with her brother.


    Nez purred an agreement. He did enjoy his sister quite a bit. Even though their blood was different, he thought very fondly of her. Nebuchadnezzar knew that family was one thing to stick by, and this one that had taken him in would be worth living and dying for.


    He waited for the battle to start. Nez couldn't wait to see who would be his trainer.


    "Do you have a trainer, Rosalind?"

    Caught off guard, Kaza tumbled over under Tigerlily's weight. Hissing at the treacherous she-cat, his head lunged forward like a snake's in an open-mouthed strike.


    Tigerlily felt his teeth meet her ear. She hissed then sneered and asked "Angry that you got tricked in the easiest trick in warrior history?" she asked then smiled not really caring if he bit harder on her skin.

    "G't - 'ff - mm - n'w!" Kaza spat furiously between his teeth, never losing his grip on the ear. He pulled his head backwards, hoping to cause Tigerlily enough pain that she'd let go of him. Oh, the whole of Skulls would laugh at him now - tricked by a peasant she-cat!

    Tigerlily smiled then winced as he pulled back on her ear more. Instead of letting go entirely she lowered her ear closer to him to releive some of the pain. "Don't you even think for just one second that I have no experiance in fighting. I was once a princess but I left that all behind to find adventure. Don't also forget that I'm doing us both a favor," she told him with a smile and stepped off him. She realized her ear was still in his mouth. "If you don't mind I'd like to have my ear back unless you are that desperate to have it."

    Flight leaped on her imaginary adversary, tussling on the floor.

    Feeling really quite foolish, Kaza let go of the ear. Well, it was good that she had experience in fighting, and that she could pull off tricks like that - but still! "Mind you do that when you're fighting," he muttered into the ear he had released, trying to regain some composure. "Play on your opponent's mercy, if you think they have any. Make them let down their guard if not. And the training session is over!" he added hastily.

    Tigerlily flicked her ear then laughed and asked "Is the training session over because you feel stupid?" she asked while grooming her tiger pelted stripes.

    It took a great deal of mental strength for Lala to tear her attention away from the orange tabby. It was almost a physical pain to demand her eyes stay elsewhere. Concentrate, concentrate. Even if Jedi was toying with Poe, she would try to win; to come back in hopefully one piece and to make the tom proud. The white munchkin blinked long and hard as she forced her mind to focus on the information Jedi had given her. "Light on feet, don't look away, quick jabs...I think I got it." Already the nervousness was rising in Lala, making her a little fidgety. "Anything else?"

    Jedi grumbled to himself. The sun was shining in his eyes. He was hot and bored. When would this fighting get started? And Poe seemed not to be reacting at all to Lala's appearance. He had seen a quick glance from the tom towards 'his' she-cat, but then he had looked away and not looked again. It frustrated Jedi. He wanted to see Poe in physical, mental, and emotional pain. The brown tabby dug his claws into the ground. Patience. The moment Lala steps foot in the ring and draws blood Poe will be swooning. Jedi smiled at the thought. This had better be interesting. His ears perked up at Lala's question. He turned and glared at her coldly. "Yeah, don't get killed!" He snapped. Stupid she-cat. They should know how to fight without him instructing them like kits. He rolled his eyes and wrapped his tail over his paws.

    Poe heard Lala and Jedi's exchange and flinched. Don't get killed! Pluxiria had said this was to be a fight demonstration... not to the death! The thoughts of Lala dieing made him queasy, and he found himself having to swallow his breakfast to keep it down.


    Knowing Bellamy was ready, the games yet to begin, Poe padded over to Lala and locked eyes with her. He didn't say anything. Right now he wished he could communicate with telepathy or something, but a gentle tail drape would have to do.

    Tigerlily stopped talking and watched the she-cats who she might be fighting against.

    Lala looked down at her paws, hoping to hide the small scowl that flashed briefly over her face. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind." Wasn't this simple fighting, not death matches? She supposed accidents could always happen, and if she was too horrible at fighting, it might not be all that hard to do. Don't think about that now, she told herself sternly, mentally running through the very few rouge skirmishes she had gotten into during her time outside of the Skulls. It was obvious she wouldn't get anymore out of Jedi, so all that was left to do was wait.


    Her green eyes flicked up, and then rose again as she realized Poe had padded over and was staring at her intently. She forced herself to appear more confident, for his sake, and returned his gesture quickly.

    "Good luck," Poe murmured to Lala. He gave her a quick lick on the forehead and moved away as quickly as he had come over. He worried about throwing her off, or even himself. Bellamy needed him... but he needed to know Lala would be okay.

    Jedi whirled around with a snarl and slashed out for Poe. "Back off! You trying to throw off my she-cat or something? Use your filthy tricks on someone else Poe!" The brown tabby snapped as he moved closer to block Lala from the tom. He knew Poe wasn't doing anything harmful. Didn't matter to Jedi, he just wanted to ruffle his feathers.

    Rosalind shook her head. "No. I thought you had one, Nez," she admitted. She hadn't seen Pluxiria till now, and it was a long time since she had seen him.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px] The leader flicked his tail, signalling that the games would now begin. 'Silence! Training session is over!" he yowled, his voice echoing slightly off the pit below. "The first she-cats to fight is.... Lala and Tigerlily!"


    The cold eyes of the Skull leader scanned for the two she-cats, before he meowed once more, just to be clear. 'Both of you she-cats get into the pit. Toms, Jedi and Kaza, just stay on the side. You may yell advice, but if any of you wants to go and help with the fight... you can't. Just stay at the side."


    Kaza flashed a grin at Tigerlily, more out of excitement than actual friendliness. He wasn't exactly the most patient cat, and here his she-cat was to be first! "Remember what I told you," he meowed, moving over to her and keeping his voice carefully lowered. "Make allowances for Lala's strengths and weaknesses by creating their opposites in your tactics. Absorb the way she fights so you can use it against her. And use your brains, not just muscle - like you did during training." He knew he'd told her all that already, but it didn't hurt to give her a reminder.

    Tigerlily nodded at Kaza, stretched quickly, then nodded to the leader and Lala as she jumped into the pit. She wasn't sure if she was to wait for the leader's permission to fight or they could start whenever. She decided to wait for the leader's instructions. As she waited for Lala to jump down into the pit she flexed her claws determined to win her freedom.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px] Pluxiria let out a growl. "Get on the side, Kaza. No extra advice. Now, she-cats! You may begin your fight when I give a signal for you to. I want you to be ready before I signal. If you attack before, you shall be disqualified." The leader dug his claws into the earth, glancing at the she-cats as they made their way into the pit.
