Tired and weary, Midas’ looked onward at the pride of Viking warriors almost distastefully. The smell of the drunken idiots was enough to turn his stomach, yet the real reason for his disgust was his dueling partner. Black eyes drifted over to look at his opponent, Solfrid. Was this Cythraul’s way of ‘matchmaking’? Taking a deep, deep breath, Midas left all the air out slowly before pacing forward. Not all duels had to end in fighting, perhaps they could come up with another way to show each other’s brawn?
“Well, what do you suggest I do to prove my mettle, Solfrid?” Midas still couldn’t help but feel like this was some sort of cruel joke, though he didn’t by any means underestimate the lioness. No, what worried him was the glances she gave him occasionally while they had been travelling. That pining look of pent up emotion and tension.
She was beautiful, but the daughter of someone whom he had found some respect in. Someone he wasn’t interested in feeling the wrath of. She’d have to say something first…
Digging his claws into the ground he stared at a pile of rocks and smirked. “Perhaps instead of fighting you and I could see whose better at building?”

Welp, I seemed as though the young lioness had indeed wanted to fight rather than challenge him in another fashion. Sighing softly, Midas stared at the pile of rocks longingly, he rather liked his idea… “Alright, Solfrid. I am coming for your then.” Watching her quietly, the lion charged forward, springing off a boulder and straight for Solfrid, claws open and ready to strike at her side.
He didn’t want to harm the lioness’, he kept feeling anxious about marring her or going to hard and it showed. Even upon impact, Midas attempted to quickly leap away rather than make for some form of assault.

Feeling claws meet flesh, Midas frown, there was only a touch of blood from the cut, but it was enough to send a small shiver down his body. He had to move forward if he was ever going to make it in, but he still didn’t have the heart to fight. The rock idea was just so good. Speaking of rocks…
Staring at a nice sized stone, Midas smirked and chucked it at Solfrid. His hope was that it would hit her hard enough to stun her so he could create more distance. It wasn’t like him to run away like he was, but he certainly wasn’t interested in leaving the poor lioness’ scarred either. He had to win, that’s all.
Looking at the pride, he watched several lions in the background, one especially catching his eye. She looked similar to Hesper… but her eyes. Watching her for several seconds, Midas lost sight of what he was doing, a price he would surely pay soon.

The first roar was deafened by his infatuation for the lioness in the crowd, however as soon as his name was called Midas went completely ridged. Snapping his head towards the direction of the sound, he all but immediately got a face full of sand. Feeling both his eyes and nose water, the lion gagged, all too conscience of how awful he probably looked in front of the crowd right now. If only he how awful he looked now would be nothing compared to how he’d look in a couple seconds.
Blinking and pawing at his face, Midas kept backing up, attempting to avoid Solfrid and her imminent attack. Only, instead of avoid her, he all but allowed himself to be open to her sliding assault, landing him face first in a pile of sand and rocks.
Laying there for several seconds, Midas felt like a complete idiot. He could hear the chuckles and booing of those in the crowd and could make out both Dhobaru and Yora’s howling laughter. His pride was on the line. Growling, he pulled himself out of the dirt, shaking his mane out.
“I shouldn’t have been so careless with you…” Taking a deep breath Midas readied himself for another attack, this time absolutely ready to counterattack.
