“im sure it’s like that taste of victory you had earlier that you won’t see again!” okay, to be fair, squishypaw sounded like a cool name. sort of. she could probably do better than bigcatstar. letting out a small “oof” noise as he lashed at her, spiderpaw aimed a thwack at his shoulder. “you’ll be the one crying when i’m done with you!! the first of many i’ll successfully beat up! well, i’ll successfully beat them up because of your training, but aaa. the point is i’ll still beat you.”

ow- aaA- eep— acK-- okay, so that sort of hurt?? maybe he was a tiny bit right about inexperience? then again, bigcatstar’s insults also consisted of calling her squashybug. she could totally take bigcatstar down, inexperienced or not!! “i’d say put your skills where your mouth is, but you don’t have any! any skills, i mean - you do have a mouth.” maybe this was time to insert the almighty front paw smack thing that lionstar had reminded her the name of earlier and she’d forgotten half a moment later. aiming the smack at bigcatstar’s chest, she put a bunch of energy into it, hoping that it’d at least do something.

“i have no idea what you’re talking about! i’m totally winning! mhm! you’re just… a.. sore loser!”

well, he’d sure proven her point when he whacked her on the head. head ringing, she had newfound motivation. “oh, it is so on!!” spiderpaw exclaimed, aiming a series of slaps at lionstar’s head. if it was a war he wanted, a war he would get!!

as lionstar headbutted her chin, spiderpaw was knocked some pawsteps back, cringing a bit. she paused for a second, letting the faint stinging sensation fade away. “oh, well, that’s good for you, because we’re going to be here a while! i’ve got alllllll dayyyy.” once she’d gotten back her stable footing, she put her paw forward and tried to shove lionstar’s head downward — maybe even shove it to the floor? she doubted she’d be able to do that, though…. but that didn’t stop her from trying.
