I See it Only One Way 1X1 With HowlingWolf

Abhay

Abhay gave a small smile. "I'll be fine, just nervous. And besides, I think I would rather help out your clan then let mine fight dirty." He flicked his ears back and listened to the pawsteps pouring in and watched the spotted pelts move through the den. "And I also think it's a little too late to leave..." He lowered his voice to a whisper as he looked around at the eyes that were locked on him and Ilianda. He started to feel slightly overwhelmed, but his gaze shifted to the two last figures moving though the entrance. Jerume, followed by Ilianda's mother. Abhay pulled his ears back slightly at seeing Mernaya since she had stormed off.

:Ilianda:
She nodded, knowing it was true as the leopards settled down into their places, waiting. She knew the older leopards and dipped her head slightlyvto them in respect, and they returned the gesture. No cat spoke for long moments until Mernaya, annoyance tainting her words said, "Alright I and the elders of my clan have been called to meet on account of what you say will be important information. Let us get to it, then." She sat in front of Abhay and Ilianda, waiting expectantly. Ilianda nudged Abhay eager for him to start to appease them, not wanting them to leave.

Abhay

Abhay sucked in a sigh before giving his little speal. "Well I know my clan fights dirty... well really dirty... but I'd like to help out as much as I can, so I was wondering if you would accept my proposal of giving some pointers on how my clan fights... Well at least I would be able to give the pointers on how to avoid and defend against them. There are some things I can teach that are small but effective..." His voice trailed off slightly as he glanced around the room. "Look, I know it's not much and I don't want this fight just as much as all of you don't, so I'm offering what I can to stop what has been started." His tail flicked slightly back and forth out of his nervous habit.

:Ilianda:
She looked around the room, staring the older leopards down. She didn't flinch away when they returned her gaze with their own hardened stares. She hoped she was offering enough support to help them accept Abhay's proposal by agreeing with it. She hoped they wouldn't see it as the very trickery Abhay had just mentioned. Her hopes weren't heard as one of the elders spoke.
"What if this 'advice' you are offering us is the very trickery our clan uses?" One elder cried from the back, one with a gnarled paw and a large scar across his face. "How are we to know to trust this..aah what is your name?" Mernaya was nodding in agreement," The last time I trusted one of your clan, it...did not end well. It ended bitterly spiced with hatred."

Abhay

"Abhay is what I go by. And I can assure you I am not pulling some sort of trickery." Abhay pulled himself up from a laying position as it was getting uncomfortable being stared down at. "And if it is, I give you full permission to do with me as you wish." He flicked his ears slightly, making sure to meet eye contact with each of the elders, his eyes settling on Mernaya with a determined look glinting in his eyes.

:Ilianda:
She was feeling uncomfortable under the indirect gaze of her clan's elders, even though they weren't focused on her she still felt uncomfortable. But watching Abhay rise to his paws, she couldn't imagine how he must feel, afterall she at least knew them, he didn't and a pprisoner of war to boot. She feared for him when he'd said his last words, knowing that they would if they could. She cleared her throat, "As long as I've known Abhay, he has not once lied to me or shown any kind of decietfulness." She felt their gazes land on her and did not flinch away, trying to keep her gaze steady and strong.

Abhay

Abhay's nerves were on fire, he just wanted to let loose and yell at them to see if he could show them how fustrated he was with all of this. However, the only thing that showed his nervous emotion was the flicking back and forth of his tail and the twitch of his fur everynow and then as if it was removing an itch. He flicked his ears back, hearing Ilianda's words. Her voice brought him some comfort, knowing he wasn't alone and never would be with this. He hoped that what she said would help out the elders and the clan leaders decide, afterall he was shot and tired from the small amount of activities that had gone on. He flicked his ears slightly, waiting for their decision, and as he waited he could see the sligh shift of glances back and forth everynow and then and he just kept his chin up. "I am not one you need to fear or distrust, but I know I come from a... how you say shady background due to my father. But I am not aquainted with him! And I wish I wasn't his son, but I was not able to choose my father as most of you should know." He let out a small sigh. "I want to help, and I would not be offering if I knew what could happen if my clan found out."

:Ilianda:
Her hope rose as she saw the elders glance at each other and as they began whispering amongst each other, she knew their cause was not lost. Glancing at Abhay, she saw how nervous he was and reached her tail out to touch his, hoping it would comfort and support. "What you say aah..Abhay..may be true but you are your father's son, it is wise to keep that in mind where ever you go, whatever you do, whenever." The elder scooted forward a bit peering into Abhay's face. Mernaya cut in, "I will listen to your information and decide whether or not it is useful to my clan, as my mate isn't here to discuss with and decide upon this. I shall hear the elders' advice and decide upon further course of action." Her tail twitched showing her irritation about the whole affair.
Jarume spoke up softly to Abhay, "Quickly now before she changes her mind."

Abhay

Abhay gave a small smile feeling a warm part of Ilianda brushing aginst his tail, his ears flicking at Mernaya's words and he quickly took his chance. "Well if you have met them in battle already, you know their starting plan. They do a basic 'U' formation to seem as they are quite unsure where to start, well once they close in on what they are looking for the middle surges forward as the offence and the sides take defence. But what many don't know is there's a few hiding in the trees, who have been waiting there for hours. The signal, which sounds like like a low rumble gives them signal to drop out of the trees, which would mean a surprise attack, but since you have already battled once, they studied the moves you all have done. You will keep fighting the same leopard you met the day before until one of them are defeted. And when they do this, they study you, testing your abilities, your strengths and weaknesses, what side you attack best on and what side is easy to get past. Now I know this seems almost common sense to do as many do it, but my clan's weakness, is being studied themselves. We are constantly changing our moves, but they are all add ons to the old ones we know. If you can study them and their starting positions, I promice you, you will be able to know what they will start out with and how to either block or find the weakspot... I can show you some of the starting poses, which means I will also show you the basic blocks and counter attacks with those stances."

:Ilianda:
She felt her forhead furrow as she listened to Abhay. She found it to be a bit confusing, but then she'd never been one to rely on specific tactics when fighting, even when she recieved her basic training. Even when she recieved the special training leaders and upcoming leaders recieved, she'd always found her weakness to be using and rembereing tactics and techniques. But she shrugged her confusion away, afterall she wasn't going to be fighting anytime soon. She would make sure to pay attention however. She flicked her ears, waiting for the rest of the leopards' response. Mernaya sat like a stone, silent and calculating, her gaze directed at Abhay. The elders whispered amongst themselves, sending furtive glances at the enemy's son.
Jarume padded forward and was soon among them, his whiskers quivering with his rapid talking.
