He wasn't as lanky as other cats were. Didn't have the speed to match them. His size might make sharp movements less feasible. But the brute force, he could get behind. He eyed Hazycry's scruff for a moment, trying to imagine shaking her harshly from side-to-side, then hurling her away so that he could land another heavy blow between the eyes before she had the chance to stand back up again. Envision, memorize, stash away for later.

He nodded once to himself and extended his front claws. "Between the eyes. What would happen if I struck someone there with my claws out instead? Would that be as effective?"

"you could hit their eyes, so in a friendly spar never do that, in an actual fight like a border skirmish? go right on ahead unless otherwise told. if you want damage, use claws, if you want a longer stun, keep them sheathed." stars how she hated talking, but at least it was about something she was good at.

"i would spar with you, but i dont want to aggravate my injuries." i dont want to be anywhere near sleepysunrise "any other questions? i could probably drag my former apprentice out here to spar with you instead if you'd like that."
