Kasi approached the duel area again, mildly amused. Her second rogue entry duel and with the same person. Odd, but not unwelcomed. She had seen potential in the other female and found herself wishing that the female had gone away and improved since their last meeting. She stretched leisurely, working out any kinks in her spine from the day of training before stepping up to where she saw the female waiting.
"Greetings, again," Kasi said, almost friendly but not quite. She glanced at the female and then nodded her head. "Your move."
Again, she dropped into defensive position, waiting. With any luck, this time might actually be a challenge.

Kasi took a defensive step backwards at the female's attack, narrowly missing the blow but unable to stop the grin from appearing on her face anyway. "Sloppy," she taunted lightly, and, remembering the way it had thrown her off last time, began to circle the rogue.
She kept her pace steady, but quick, using her speed to her advantage. Hopefully, she would disorientate her opponent and that would be the end. Once they were disorientated, it was hard to come back from that, Kasi thought with a grin that only continued to grow.

The hit struck Kasi hard, sending her head reeling slightly, but she felt a rush of...joy. It was a strange thing to feel after getting smacked in the face, but Kasi lived for the rush of a good fight. It had almost killed her when she was pregnant and unable to duel, but she had lived through it. Now, she was just happy to get to fight someone again.
She growled, and struck out, but felt only air slipping passed her paw, not the feel of fur and flesh. Damn! She had missed her opponent, and for a moment, she felt disorientated, leaving herself open to attack.

Kasi hated feeling out of control. She was always in control of her actions, even during a duel, but the attack came as a surprise and the headbutt - which she had thought juvenile - really knocked her back. She swung her paw out, still reeling, and hit nothing but air.
Miss.
She stumbled back, away from her opponent, panting heavily, but her mouth stretched into a wide grin as she shook her head, gathering herself and reorientating herself. Her disorientation could have gotten her killed, if this had been a real battle, and so she knew what she had to do now.
"Well done," she said, her voice cheerful, almost cublike as the rush of the battle continued to soar in her veins. She strengthened her pose and looked approvingly at the dark rogue. "Welcome to the Motoujamii-Simo."
Tally: Kasi : 2 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 10 Kirimi: 1 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 11
Kirimi wins!

Victory screech!
Kirimi stood with a look of accomplishment on her face. Even though her breathing was labored, and her body felt like it would collapse, she was pumped. She wanted to roar her victory to the heavens, to the father she had never known, to the mother and sister she had left behind, but thought it improper and rude.
So, instead, she settled with grinning like an idiot and clenching her paws in the sand. "Thank you. It was an honor to fight against you." And truly, it was. She'd never have thought that such a thing as fighting could teach her anything about herself, but it had. In order to keep herself on top, of both her emotional state and her future well being, she needed to fuel that rage into something productive.
She straightened herself, schooling her expression into the calmer look she was used to. "Would you mind answering a question for me?" Without waiting for a response, Kirimi tossed it out into the open. "Do you know of a rogue that may have joined some time ago? Dark red fur, black mane, and black sun on his flank? He goes by the name of Xennek."

Kasi looked pleased at the compliment to her fighting skills and nodded her head. "It was an enjoyable fight, even if it ended in my losing," she mused lightly, as close to a compliment as Kasi would likely get. She felt her blood pumping and enjoyed the rush that the fight brought, but her rush was brought to an abrupt end at the question she was asked.
She frowned, watching the rogue with some suspicion now. Kasi knew Xennek. Knew him pretty well, in fact, they had fought each other as duelling partners and she saw him around rather often.
"Perhaps," she said, carefully. "Why?" If this rogue was out to get Xennek, she wasn't going to give away his position in the pride, even though her 'perhaps' had basically answered that part of the question.
