Dyami had been hoping to be paired with someone around his own age but luck didn't seem to be in his favor for that. So, deciding to make the best of it he nodded his head to his opponent and prepared himself for the fight. He was nervous though. He wanted to do his clan proud. He wanted to get past round one. So despite his rather cool appearance he was anything but inside as he threw pressure upon himself.
The other lions initial attack -did- take Dyami by surprise despite his awareness and he stumbled backwards in an attempt to get out of the way but only managed to trip over his own paws in the process. His gangly adolescent body was working against him.
Despite his uneven footing her attempted to rebound from his blunder and strike a paw at his opponent.
