Wook entered the arena, across from Roho, smiling fondly at his opponent.
"A good nights sleep can do wonders." His smile became a playful grin as he mimicked her bow and even followed suit by replacing his grin with a measured stared that had been instilled in him during his adolescent years in training - certainly a trait of those who took their work very seriously. The lion slowly rose, but his muscles were tightly coiled, prepared to move himself rapidly.
"Ladies first?"
Perhaps his favorite part of any good duel, the taunting. His muscles shifted, remained tight, but preparing for a more defensive maneuver as he expected a reaction from Roho - to a degree. Wook recalled that her actions always seemed to carry purpose, as though they were debated about for quite a while though they were likely decided upon in minutes. The lioness he now faced was graceful and extremely agile, not that he wasn't but he was likely better suited for barreling through a situation instead.

Trained eyes watched his opponent, the joys of battling in the arenas meant that the attack would actually be worth some salt - not like the typical roguelander that approached their borders and weakly attempted entrance. Fools. If he'd had a chance to truly watch Roho from an outside perspective he would have been in awe at the way she moved, but instead he had to make a quick decision - defend or attack.
Purple eyes narrowed as he met her blue ones, but as they narrowed his lips turned up just a small amount - he'd have fun, regardless of the reason behind this particular duel, enjoying his duty was what provided his drive ample fuel.
Wook began to compartmentalize the situation as the dark lioness pushed into high gear, launching herself towards him in such a manner that allowed him the freedom of choice - of course any situation would likely result in the option, but this one particular gave him an opportunity. Typically he'd have defended, allowing an attacking rogue to attempt in proving him or herself, but since this wasn't the typical scenario he decided to apply himself to an attack.
His own tightly coiled legs, already prepared, released an incredible amount of energy as his decision was made. Wook raised himself up and propelled himself forward, determined to meet the lioness in her assault.

The paw she had raised immediately became defensive as Wook made his move, her lower back twisting as she tried to prepare for the inevitable. Yet, quick as she was, even she was not going to be able to get into a good bracing position in time. Roho had expected him to move away or, at best, lift a paw in retaliation. What she got was over and above that.
The strength and weight of her opponent was more than enough to shove her backwards and, with her posture unprepared, her hind legs went out from under her, rocking her backwards and into the sand.
Her eyes - which had squeezed shut in preparation for her undignified landing - flared open again to find herself with her back to the ground and her opponent hovering above her. Well...damn. This was not at all how things were supposed to go. Exhaling sharply to free her nostrils of sand, she attempted to roll away and back to her paws.
Abominable Greenie Wook, you have permission to pin her if you like XD !!!

The world outside of the arena began to grow small as he closed in on Roho - it seemed he had the upper hand, something he imagined didn't happen often for the dark lioness, heck it was something that he hadn't even prepared for. The connection was made far more quickly than he had anticipated, perhaps his agility wasn't as bad as he'd thought, but he didn't have much time to think as time seemed to speed up.
Mere seconds and he found a paw touching the sands, the other somewhere tangled in the pair of them and his hind legs finding their steady ground. Just a few more seconds, since every one of those seconds appeared to count, he straightened his stance out, purple eyes locked with her blue ones as they opened and his previously 'tangled' paw worked to press against her chest - firmly pinning her to the sands on which she fell.
"Where do you think you're going?"
A question, which under other circumstances could sound threatening, but during this situation came out as a playful taunt (which he carried over from his previous taunting tone). Breaths came quickly, but evened out as he began to relax himself - but his damned heart wouldn't quit beating rapidly, had anyone asked he'd have said it was because of the duel itself - not his opponents doing.

His paw came down and she froze, her body growing tense at the sudden contact. She could quite easily, of course, have blamed her sudden spike of emotion as anger. As irritation. As frustration at having been bested so easily. But, at the back of her mind, a tiny voice knew the truth of it and whispered just loud enough for her to hear. The whisper, in fact, was so distracting that she hadn't even heard Wook speak.
She shook her head fiercely as if trying to dislodge something from her ear and met his eyes again.
He was...very close.
Her mouth opened of its own accord, though she had no idea what she would even begin to say. If she'd heard Wook before, perhaps that would have given her a hook to catch onto and propel herself out of this stupor. Her jaw shut again, then opened again and between rapid blinking she said: "you're delaying..."
Yes, when in doubt, go back to the one thing that could be relied upon. Trusty battle skills. Was he...waiting for her to try and escape? And...why wasn't she doing so? She was delaying, too. Urgh. Well, this was not fun. She was making a fool of herself!!
With a sharp intake of breath she tried to roll free again, scrabbling to find her paws with a distinct lack of grace not usually attributed to the feline.
