Perhaps the first person that the male sparred with shouldnt have been Feza. It had seemed like a good idea at first, given that it could be a good learning opportunity for Feza, as well as practice for himself, but it seemed as though Feza's beginning attempts to try and use her limited fighting knowledge had failed her, and now she was being gripped by panic. Despite the fact that the lion had simply been whacking without claws at her belly, he could see the cold fear and panic that filled the partymaker's gaze, and soon she was kicking out frantically at him, one of her paws slamming into his stomach. He stumbled back a bit, a grunt leaving him, before he decided it was time to end this. He doubted Feza would feel good if he stopped fighting her midway, and would believe she had somehow ruined the "fun", so that meant that he needed to finish things so he could back off. Pulling away after the harsh and frantic kicking, the male knew that Feza, still toppled over onto her side, had almost no chance of keeping him away, so he sighed before charging forward again, pinning her shoulder down with one of his large paws and moving to clench down at her scruff near her neck, simulating a final killing neck blow without actually hitting her at all, except for perhaps a slight pinch from her scruff in his mouth. Whether he was successful or not, he would then step back, rumbling softly as he observed Feza, a soft and faintly disappointed frown on his face as he spoke, "I guess you weren't lying when you said that you had never fought before. You didn't do too bad with the kicking me in the stomach, but it was obvious that you were panicking, and you didn't even try to get back up to your feet afterwards... you'd be dead twice over now if I was a Pittian." He winced a bit at how much he sounded like his Father right now, but he was just being honest, really. Feza hadn't done well, and with the coming big battle approaching, she would either be forced to stay here and help the medics, or would need to learn fast.
He then lowered his voice a bit as he moved slightly closer to her, not wanting to embarrass her over her obvious panic, "Are you alright...? You crumbled quickly, and you seem like you're freaking out a bit..." Once he knew that she was aware of him not wanting her to suffer, he allowed his attention to be pulled away over to Moth. Blinking at Moth, Wormwood rumbled with a little bit of a nod, "Alright, you can feel free to watch if you want, Moth. Don't be afraid to ask to spar with me of you want though. We should all have at least a bit of fighting experience so that nothing bad happens." He didn't mean it as an intentional jab at Moth being attacked by Roman and easily caught up in his jaws, but that was one of the relevant things in his mind at the moment. He didn't want anybody else getting snatched up by the Pitt these days, and he knew that Moth was far from the biggest fighter in the group, and could definitely use the practice. In addition to that, Moth was one of the few others in the group besides Feza that could actually spar fairly with him without him just crushing them easily, besides maybe Red... but Red was too injured right now for Wormwood to even think of considering that.
