It was something to be expected, he supposed. Even with a shift in the structure of those who were in charge, and the surprisingly peaceful vote, infighting might happen. Or rather, PLANNED infighting. Duels, he'd observed, were perfect for everybody to measure how strong others were. It helped determine prospective mates, or simply partners to have cubs with, when strength had much more to do in the choice than anything past blood relation.
Not that Na-atesh had anything to worry about, he was related to nobody in the pride except his parents.
He stepped up, rounding his shoulders as he stared Agni-pariksha down. "Doc..." He gave a little laugh. "I like it!" Tail brushing the sand, Na-atesh hunkered down. "I'm ready when you are!"

Move 1/5: Bide Total: 2
When she hit, he slid just slightly in the sand, paws braced. The pale lion grimaced, then watched. He wasn't ready to attack just yet. If anything, he had some patience, and began to circle. He took in everything, the way she moved, the way she stood, the way she breathed. He knew her medical history, too, how many injuries she might have incurred in her life so far. Which as he recalled, wasn't too many. His tail flicked, sending a bit of sand flying. "Is that the best you've got? I thought you were fighter material!" Na-atesh let out a barking laugh. "I barely felt that!"

Move 2/5: Hit Total: 5
"Oh, you want MORE, do you?" His tail lashed as he gave off the air of ignoring the swat to his face. It did sting, and he'd have one of the medics address it later. But for now, he pointedly ignored it. There was no shift in his posture to give warning as he turned and, very suddenly, launched at the dark lioness. One large white paw swung out, aiming for her shoulder in a move that could, if done right, render the joint dislocated at worst, nastily bruised at best.

Move 4/5: Hit! Total: 9
Agni-pariksha nearly chuckled at his answer, noting that she both struck a nerve and he was now fighting like he meant it- not to kill, of course, but certainly to cause damage. She'd provoked him and she was going to pay for it.. but damn if it didn't make things more exciting!
Shifting her weight away from the leg that was already hit, she braced herself for the impact so that the worst of it, at the least, did not compound upon existing blows. It nearly knocked the wind out of her, but she gave a painful twist on her bad leg and ducked so she was positioned near his belly. Anywhere else and she couldn't have made an effective move with little effort, but with such a vulnerable area, any insecurity and you got the hell away.
With that in mind, she used her head and neck to give him a good shove from underneath before he could figure out what she was doing.

The regent gave a snarl when claws connected with her face, leaving marks that may well add to her collection of scars. He wanted to leave her with a reminder, she would happily accept. She'd learned a great deal about him in their fight, many surprising things that would beg for a follow-up, but he seemed far too worked up for that now.
"I yield," she said, stepping back and glaring in response to his suggestion. She had few words left for him, knowing better than to taunt a lion already in a rage. There would be time for that later. He might need reminding that she outranked him as a soldier, but now she was certain he might have joined her and the others as Brigadier had something not stopped him. A very interesting idea.
"Go cool down before you hurt someone else," she said, a small grin returning, "I better go see a medic about my shoulder."
