Terra bared her teeth at the offer of surrender. She wasn't someone to give up so easily, even if it was clear she was outclassed. Terra wasn't quick enough this time, and barely managed to move her leg back. A shallow stab hit above her kneecap, blood running down. Moving would be harder now. Terra growled softly, trying to figure out what would be a good move next. Axelle's words had her glancing back to her opponent. She didn't even seem winded by this. Terra should never have entered this duel. Well, she did learn some things about fighting at least.
Wearily Terra nodded. If she was going to travel she couldn't afford any more wounds. Tossing her dagger to the side Terra sat back down on the ground, careful to keep dirt out of the wound. Her movements were awkward, revealing her inexperience with her optime form. It would be easy for her to deal with the wounds in lupine form, having such wounds before. It was difficult moving like this. Terra kept from meeting Axelle's eyes, sad that she lost. Name's Terra.
