Tamu was hardly a warrior. While he could just claim her as an old born member and the pride would take him at his word, she wanted to enter as a warrior. It was strange, especially coming from one who had as small of a frame as she, but Thor could respect Tamu's wishes. Small as she was, she had spirit. She had a sense of honor. She wanted to stand on her own tiny paws. Perhaps it was in the wake of the terrible tragedy of losing her family that reality's cold grip had forced her to take her own defense into her own paws.
So it was that Thor arranged a duel for her. She was new with combat, that was clear enough in her structure. Thin legs, slender muscle build, and not a battle scar on her body. With time, that would all change. Thor's build was solid as a rock, his pelt scattered with thin, healed scars, and his movements boasted a prowess and security in his own strength that few warriors carried. They were many within the stormborn- but without, he couldn't say the same. Most lions that came to the border were.... tiny. At least in comparison.
"NEVER HOLD BACK, LIONESS OF THE BUBBLES." He instructed carefully. "DO NOT HOLD YOUR CLAWS IN. THROW YOUR WEIGHT INTO EVERY BLOW. I WILL NOT DISHONOR YOU WITH SOFT PAWS OR CUB-STRIKES. DO NOT DISHONOR ME BY HOLDING BACK."
With that, the lion charged with a furious roar. His eyes blazed and he raised a paw for a hammer-blow to the lioness' side. A decent enough hit that wouldn't hinder her too much if she failed to get out of the way.

 Tamu was starting to realize that perhaps 'this'... had not been a particularly good idea at all. She'd rejected Thor's offer for getting into the pride, and the more she trained, the harder she worked... the more she realized they were simply not cut out of the same material.
Not at all.
It was quite depressing, on certain levels, but then, she often had to remind herself that she herself could do many things Thor could not. Even though at that precise moment, the rather small lioness was having trouble thinking of even one thing, "I'm trying!" the sentence was cut short, ending in a bit of an 'eep' as the large male roared and charged towards her; she always had trouble with this part, having a hard time not dropping to the floor with her paws over her head. Her flight or fight instinct demanded she run, or otherwise take cover, and it was proving hard work to tame it into submission.
"Nooo, nononononooo!" she squeaked as the huge paw passed only bare millimeters past her frame, her body contorting to escape the blow as she attempted to retaliate the blow with one of her own.
She lacked the strength and the brute force to take on him, bulk to bulk, and thus had been instructed to fight in a different fashion; she was meant to find an opening, and exploit her speed and agility, her small frame and her limber movements to take her opponent off balance.
This... was easier said than done, "I don't know how I'm meant to find an opening!!" she yelled as she scampered under his frame and appeared on his other side, her adrenaline pumping and not letting her see clearly, "I don't know what to do! WHAT DO I DO??"Thalion Poor Tamu. She fails a bit. XD She's trying. She'll get there. Maybe.

While Thor was not as thick-headed or thick-skinned as he seemed, the lion was able to keep himself in the moment. Sadly, for Tamu, that moment was combat training. While her pleas and pitiful attempts at blows tugged at his heartstrings, he could not allow her to see him waver. She would very likely face foes once more, and he would not always be there to stop them. Even behind the safety of a pride, she was vulnerable. No one was completely safe, especially one with an exposed nerve as vulnerable as a cub.
"FOCUS LADY OF THE BUBBLES. DO NOT DWELL ON WHAT YOU CANNOT DO OR CANNOT UNDRSTAND. FOCUS ON ME." He stepped around her, lashing the air with his tail.
Tamu wasn't even trying to strike at this point. She seemed barely able to even process the situation at hand. A friendly spar had her this rattled...
"CALM YOURSELF. LOOK AT ME. DO NOT THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. WATCH MY MOVEMENTS. LOOK-" He raised a paw and slowly feinted an overhead swipe. "WHEN I STRIKE LIKE THIS, MY FLANK AND PART OF MY CHEST IS EXPOSED. NOW TAMU- MAKE YOUR MOVE."
