Rior would be lying if he said that this situation, the one he was in right at that very moment, was the weirdest situation he had ever been in - though he had to admit, it ranked fairly highly. He waited, semi-patiently, for the male cheetah to stop fussing over the lioness waiting on the side-lines of their makeshift duelling arena, mildly amused to see the very, very petite (and pink) cheetah fuss over the bulkier lioness.
Weird couple, Rior decided, but didn't voice his opinion. He really had no right to judge.
But still.
Weird.
"You almost ready, Yuuki?" Rior asked, finally loosing what little patients he had as Yuuki began to rearrange the bedding that the lioness was resting on for the fourth time. He was doubting whether this male was actually fit to be a fighter, he seemed more suited to be a mother, really.

Yuuki fussed over the bedding that he had arranged for Penwakani, casting worried glances towards her. He knew she was ok, but seriously, he had never met a more clumsy lioness. She had recovered from her headbutting of the tree fairly easily, only to fall down a slight decline and twist her paw. He had decided to follow her on her travel and continue his training as he did so.
Which was why when he had run into Rior, he had demanded the elder lion teach him and duel him.
He had agreed readily, which pleased Yuuki, but Penwakani had insisted that she be there to watch, which made him faintly nervous. What if he failed in front of her? It would be really embaressing, he realised.
Startling when Rior talked, he glanced up and shot him an apologetic look. "Yes! Of course." He cleared his throat and jogged the short distance to stand in front of Rior.
"Your start." He said, generously and fell into a defensive pose, attempting to ignore the female watching from the side.

The female lioness stretched gently on her beddings of dried (and fresh) grass, enjoying the softness and faintly amused that her companion had gone to all this fuss over her. It was nice, though. She appreciated it. She also appreciated the fact that since Yuuki had come into her life, she was not lonely anymore.
She had him. The strangest knight she had ever met in her life, but still. He was sweet to her. She smiled, and ducked her head, watching the two boys fall into position opposite each other.
Seeing Yuuki's look of utter concentration, she grinned and couldn't help but yell out, "Go Yuuki!" She knew Rior wouldn't hurt him badly in the duel, so she let herself distract Yuuki that little bit.
Plus, it was funny to watch him jump. She grinned.

"Most gracious," Rior said in response to Yuuki's offer, and began to circle the male, unable to stop his laugh as Yuuki jumped at Penwakani's holler. He rather liked that girl, he decided.
Circling the smaller cheetah, Rior eyed the male's physique critically. He was muscley, but still quite petite, even for a cheetah. It would be underestimate his opponent, and as Rior went to attack, he hesitated.
Damn it.
He felt like if he hit the damn male, he was going to break every bone in the cheetah's body. Rior was a fighter, he was not a b*****d.
"Actually, why don't you show me what you've got, Cheetah," Rior said instead, deferring first move to Yuuki.

Yuuki nearly jumped a foot in the air at Penwakani's sudden yell and glanced towards her, mildly exasperated but hiding an amused grin of his own. His attention was swiftly brought back to Rior though, and he tensed, waiting for the first move.
When it didn't come, he blinked at Rior in surprise. He tilted his head curiously, but wasn't going to deny that he was mildly amused that his oponent had underestimated him.
"Alright then, prepare for war, Rior," Yuuki said calmly, and instead of pacing like Rior had, he threw himself forward, claws extended. Yuuki was designed for speed, and so the move came quick.
His claws connected firmly to the right side of Rior's torso. It was meant to hurt, even though it was a duel - it just wasn't meant to kill or scar, that was the rules.

This was fun, Pen thought happily, giggling to herself at Yuuki's reaction.
However her joy quickly fell as the real fighting began. She gasped and stared, wide-eyed, at the speed at which Yuuki moved, his muscles tensed in battle.
He was so sweet to her, she had forgotten that he was actually training to be a fighter. This was serious to him, not a simple play fight or some sort of game. This, some day, could be life or death.
She kept her eyes fixed on the males, her pulse racing. 'Go Yuuki', she thought, but this time kept her mouth firmly shut.

Never underestimate your opponent again. Rior scolded himself fiercely as he growled in pain at the feeling of the cheetah's claws scratching at his side. He had barely seen the little wretch move. Damn, he was fast.
But that was ok, because while Rior was not built for speed, he was built for up close attacks - and that was exactly what Yuuki was open for now. Rior roared as he spun, twisting his body and ignoring the ache in his side, reaching for Yuuki with his claw. He swiped across Yuuki's chest, there was no mane to defend his chest and so it would knock him back at least.
Huh. Yuuki was good, but Rior was better he decided

Yuuki felt a thrill of joy as his attack connected, but that thrill turned into fear as he saw Rior charge him. He had left himself wide open for an attack! He swore at himself as those claws connected, sending him reeling back several steps, winded for the moment as the air was forced from his lungs.
For a second, he could not breathe and he simply stood, gasping. It was only when he regained his breath did he fall into a defensive position, watching Rior warily.

She didn't like fighting, she decided firmly, and gasped out loud when Rior hit Yuuki's chest. She whimpered at the sight of him gasping for breath, and it was only her twisted paw that stopped her from jumping to her paws and helping him. She knew Yuuki would hate her for it, but he had been so good to her, how could she sit back and watch him get injured over a silly duel?
Why were boys so STUPID?

Rior watched Yuuki gasp for air. If this had been a real battle, he would have charged again, but since it was simply a duel, he waited until the cheetah could rightfully breathe and was defensive again, instead of taking advantage of that weakness.
"You may be little, but don't expect kindness from your opponents, Yuuki," Rior said firmly, and with that, he launched himself forward, paws outstretched. With his bulk and Yuki's breathlessness, the cheetah would not be able to avoid the attack.
With any luck, he wouldn't squish the cheetah, Rior thought, mid-air.

Yuuki saw it coming but could not avoid it. The large lion hit his smaller form with a heavy thud and pushed him to the ground, though Rior did not squish him completely, he did wind him once again as he laid sprawled on the floor.
"I neither want nor expect kindness in battle," Yuuki growled. He took a swipe at Rior, but gasped, vision dimming and his paw hit nothing but thin air.
Damn his lungs! Just because they had a large lion resting on them, did not give them permission to fail!

She had to cover her eyes, horrified to see Yuuki first be unable to attack and then the force at which Rior tackled him to the ground. Yuuki could barely breathe! This was horrible.
"Please stop," she whimpered to herself, but she doubted they could hear her over the sounds of their violence. She knew it wasn't real, but it was terrifying.

The missed attack was worrying, as Rior was so close physically to Yuuki that missing should have been impossible. Not good, Rior thought, considering Yuuki's health.
He narrowed his eyes, and shifted himself off of the male. He hesitated at launching another attack, though Yuuki had swiped at him.
He watched, and waited. If Yuuki rose, the battle would continue, else he would call it over.

Yuuki was very glad when the lion-weighted pressure was removed from his chest. He rose, but he rose slowly, and narrowed his eyes at Rior. Taking a deep, steadying breath, he threw himself forward, claws colliding with Rior's legs.
It wasn't a strong attack, but he was not down and out yet!
