“bold of you to assume my stamina won’t last all day! i’m just, like, this huge ball of stamina. never ending stamina. I Am Stamina. you can’t outstamina me. plus, i just gotta wait until your stamina runs out and then i can win - er, continue winning!” spiderpaw watched as lionstar did a leap looking thing and was confused for a second before realizing what he was trying to do. it was a bit late to dodge, and spiderpaw was sort of lost as to what to do. well, when you were lost, there was one thing you couldn’t go wrong with!

well, it could probably go very wrong, and spiderpaw wasn’t really sure what would actually happen as a result of her action, but … you never know until you try, right?? as they say- you only live once. bracing herself for any incoming pain, spiderpaw jumped straight into the air. just jumped. that’s it. a little hop. mid-jump, she changed her posture so that her back was very hittable, and lionstar had managed to swipe at it, but she’d hoped the force she’d put into her jump and the .. weird angle her back was in would either throw bigcatstarm off or hurt him a bit. who knows?? she was literally just throwing around random ideas.

spiderpaw basked in her glory for a hot second as her ‘spider technique™’ did.. something. that’d been the goal. it was a tiny victory, but!! hA! she could still silently gloat! a mini win was still a win!

taken aback by his hissing, spiderpaw hisssssssed back, elongating it intentionally. whatever he could do, spiderpaw was going to prove she could do longer. maybe she couldn't do everything better (yet), but she could try her paw at doing things longer. she was swept off her feet — literally — when he came at her hind-legs, losing her balance and falling painfully. she lay for a moment, breathing, before popping back up, wincing, and throwing herself at lionstar.
