LIKE THE MOON SAYS TO THE DARK — Michael let out a soft grunt as he was nudged roughly by his sister, opening his maw to reassure her that he had been joking, – mostly – but he was interrupted by the arrival of Trygve. Turning to look at his nephew, his heart sank a bit when the kid asked to spar, even if he seemed rather lighthearted about it. It wasn't that Michael didn't want to spar with his apprentice, but as Ry had continued growing older and older, he had gotten... well, bigger, and bigger. The size difference between them was becoming fairly obvious to anyone with even the most awful eyesight, and in a spar like this, he didn't exactly have his usual boon to make up for his small stature. After all, it wasn't as if he was just going to start firing earth "bullets" at his nephew, especially when they weren't even being allowed claws. He could try to at least put up a little bit of a fight, even though he was fairly sure he wouldn't win. He had experience on his side, yes, but most of that experience was in tricking and fucking over his opponent so that he could escape, not winning the fight entirely.
Shooting Roxie a little look of help me the bobcat sighed heavily before moving to the side, slipping his jewelry off and arranging it in a careful little pile out of the way. He knew it would be nothing but a disadvantage in a fight, and he didn't want anything getting broken. Once that was finished, he made his way to the position across from Ry, lowering his shoulders and taking a deep breath. He muttered tauntingly, despite his lack of true confidence in himself, "I'll never be too old to kick your ass, Ry. Now come on, I'll even give you the first move." The one thing the older feline had going for him was his speed, so he might as well take advantage of that for dodging, right? — WE WILL NEVER BE APART
