Smokefern lifted her paw off Newtbelly's throat and took a step back. It was enough room to allow the Enforcer to get up. She took a few moments to catch her breath, enjoying a cool breeze as it drifted through the clearing. "A quick enough wit to make up for average strength. You're rather skilled yourself. If this were a real battle, I wouldn't be thrilled to go up against you."
A polite compliment, though Smokefern was rather humble. A faint grimace adorned her features as she looked at the mud covering Newtbelly's face. She turned, looking around the clearing. It was in a familiar part of the territory, and she only needed a moment to regather her bearings. "There should be a stream around here, if you want to clean up."
He couldn't hide the small smile that came from the older cat's compliment. He'd always placed great value on the opinion of his seniors, thus the pride that came with prasie never seemed to change. His confidence had been knocked lately, but perhaps, with work, he was gaining it back. "I certainly wouldn't be thrilled to be up agaisnt you, either," he stood up, shaking his paws off. Listening to her explanation of the river. "Hah - I think I need it." He grinned, wiping the mud from his face with a smirk. Few things amused him, but something about that did. "Thanks Fernsmoke, we should do this again sometime." He gave her a polite flick of his tail, then he was off to the river.

Smokefern snorted softly at Newtbelly's compliment, but didn't refute it. She started padding over to where she knew a stream would be. Sure, she could leave Newtbelly to it, but it felt rude to just leave after that. Plus, dipping her paws in water would make them easier to clean off. "Just let me know when you want to brawl again."
