OOC: I know it's somewhat short, but I'm running low on Inspiration right now. Forgive me, would you?

Sakume didn't understand enough about her foe, and it made her even more irritable than she was to begin with. She wanted to finish this battle quickly, but his slightly irregular movements made it difficult. She spat a little bit of bloody residue towards a nearby trashbin, smiling all the while. "You're more difficult than I thought." she uttered silently in her mind.

"I want to look into your eyes, demon!" she spontaneously shouted, wanting to make sure it was not a person, but in fact something other. "Take off that bandanna from them, now!"

"Come and take it off." Kinar waved her forward, challenging her.

"FINE!" Sakume jumped towards the wall of the alley, pushing off with incredible dexterity and leaping to the roof of the small house, after a few wall jumps. She hardly flinched when he did the same, his weapons drawn. Silence followed for a few moments as they each appeared to gaze into the other's eyes, drawing out what they could and hiding what they knew they didn't want the other to find out.

After a moment of waiting for him to make the first move, Sakume pushed her foot against the shingles of the roof a few times, a wolf's way of challenging someone for authority. Her tail stood out behind her, rigid and puffed up slightly, her hair on the back of her neck straight. "Shall we dance?"
