He is ridiculous. +339
A more experienced warrior might have noticed the opponent’s loosened grip and taken advantage of it accordingly, but Skoll only noted that she looked surprised by his movements or something. He might have chalked it off to him pulling off something really cool if he didn’t have the decency to admit he sucked at this. Fighting with weapons had always seemed grand in the tales, from master swordsmen to Mowgli using the Red Flower, but he was more feral than most in his family. He still enjoyed all the luxuries the Court offered, but he had an appreciation for his natural form unlike that of the others. He knew that he had gifts that were his own, like his teeth and endurance, and he’d never needed to hold a sword or a stick until now.
By fluke or fate, the staff glanced off the female’s golden side as she swept it away clumsily. Before he could bring the staff closer to him to parry, she took advantage. His free hand shot out then to protect his chest, but he was too slow to actually catch the stick like he wanted, not that he’d be able to pull off the same trick with a real sword. The weapon smacked against his wrist, and he jumped backwards.
“Ouch!” Skoll barked again, and he shuffled away clumsily, moving in a half-circle around the girl with his sword out threateningly. He tried to look for weak points, but he got distracted and lingered—on her muscles, on her fur, on her dark hair framing her blue eyes. But then he shook his head and growled, looking more proper werewolf than a squire with a practice sword.
He dashed toward her with a howl, and swung his sword quickly, putting what strength he dared behind it so it wouldn’t break or break anything on her. His aim was blind, his balance completely destroyed in that moment, but he wanted to land at least a glancing blow or even knock the sword from her hands.
