Silvano rolled his shoulders, letting the bones crack as they adjusted to his demands. He stretched out his hands, flexing fingers and testing the joints at every point. Everything felt far stiffer, and far colder, than he liked. It was like he was a youth again and just starting to work on his muscles with running and lifting. Perhaps that was what being busy was like; sacrificing one thing for productivity somewhere else. He let out a light growl as he set his legs in a similar stance as the golden prince, though he felt it was more unfamiliar to him than it was to the other male. He was at a disadvantage from that, but he was at an advantage with age and strength, hopefully. It was poor form for the Constable to be beaten at a game of strength when his job focused on top performance in strength related activities.
Before he was ready - or before his muscles felt properly warmed up - Skoll lunged at the other male. Unprepared, the man fell for the feint and the air was lightly knocked out of him. He inhaled sharply as he jumped back away from the other man's grasp. A cocky smile was plastered on his face and he felt alive. It was enjoyable to say the least. Perhaps he ought to truly get serious; Skoll seemed intent on doing well in this spar, so perhaps Silvano ought to as well.
Silvano lunged forward, eager to grab the golden prince's arm so that he could turn him about and apply pressure. Dark hands attempted to grab at the man's arm, though he felt as though he had overreached as he came up beside the man, but facing away. What a nasty turn, this was. Silvano turned slightly, so that he could see just what the other man planned in retaliation, all in the few moments between attacks.
