The only problem was today was double battle day, meaning she either needed to sign up with a partner or be assigned one at random from the lit of other single participants. It was a bit of a gamble fighting alongside a stranger, but she didn't really know anyone else in town that would stand a chance in the ring. As she handed in the form, the woman at the desk nodded and stamped it before pointing her in the direction where she'd be assigned her fighting companion moments before their first fight together.

She walked to the area where people were waiting for a team mate to be assigned to then as she takes her place she looks the other people she could end up over and sees a few she hopes to be her partner and one of them being a cat woman and she decides to walk over to her as she is the first Demi-human cat she has seen around these parts. " Hello there cutie, how strong would you say you are?"

"Stronger than the rest of the trash here, why?" She narrowed her eyes, she had a feeling she knew where this was going and she wasn't against teaming up with the female as long as she could pull her own weight. Truth be told Haru was better at taking a punch than dealing blows herself, but what she lacked in strength she made up for in her speed and determination. As such, she was confident she could take out most of the competition without too much hassle.

"Would you like to be my partner for this dance? " she put her hand out to the feline woman with a smile to see if this woman would accept this partnership if she did Vex feels her chances of winning would could up a bit as she feels this woman in front of her is different the the others that were around them here.

"Sure." The feline nodded a little hesitant, her golden eyes finally taking a moment to fully take in the woman's appearance. She had pointed ears that represented elven heritage, but the strange wings on her back left the demi-human a little confused. Were they real or part of her outfit? She was about to ask about them when the call announcing the first battle would begin shortly sounded.
The single participants were yelled at to find themselves a partner quickly, which fortunately Haru had now. The pairs were then ushered to the next area where they were given a random number to determine which other team they would be fighting first. Looking down at the card in her hand was a big number "2" meaning they would be a part of the second fight. Well, at least they got a moment to breathe while those that drew ones stepped onto the boulder on which the battles took place.

" I guess we should share our names, so we may speak as equals. You may call me Vex." she smiles and keeps her eyes on the fight about to happen in front of them, watching to study how they moved and if they had any blinding weak spots they could use vs either team. She was well learned to study her enemies so she could assist her chosen husband in planning if he ever faulted so she could correct him, so he may take credit for her work in helping him and by proxy boost the houses standing through her hard work with out her being credited for it.

"Oh, Haru." She stated, her golden eyes glancing momentarily towards the elf before returning to the fighters trying to defend themselves. One pair seemed to be struggling to stay on the boulder. If they got knocked off, they were knocked out of the competition. Perhaps that was a strategy she herself could use on their opponents, rather than trying to physically deal blows. She glanced back to the woman beside her again, wondering if she was much of a strategist.
"Are those wings useful?" She finally asked, figuring it would be good to know if her partner could fly or not. If she could it would certainly give them a strong advantage. At least Haru wouldn't have to worry about her partner possibly being knocked down so easily.

"That is a cute name. Where are you from? " Vex looks at the woman after asking that question seeing if her guess the woman is at least half fioiran is right or not, not that it really mattered she just wondered her background. She plays with her thorned hair vine as she looked back to the fight again.
The woman looked back at her when she asked about her wings and she frowns and bites her own lip. "Sadly I have not learned to use them yet, I wish I could. " She leans back having seen enough of the fight.
Laying back on the bench and raises her arm drawing in the air in front of herself a game plan in case she and this woman would need to fight this duo in the fight after the one they were about to face as their first obstacle as a team.

"I think I need to make this clear. I'm here to fight and win. That's all, I'm not interested in being your friend. Not unless you have a way to pay me for my time. Got that?" She snapped, glaring to get her point across, "Shame about your wings, would have made things easier." she shrugged, visibly indifferent to the woman's plight.
The sound of a bell chimed, signalling the first fight was over, as cheers ensued from the onlooking crowd. Rolling her shoulders, Haru prepared herself for their own fight as a worker for the tournament came to escort them onto the boulder. Across from the duo stood an odd-looking pairing, a stout, burly looking dwarven woman and a slender, male elf who smirked as he saw his opponents. Haru glared, she couldn't wait to wipe that grin off his face.

She stretches making sure she is loose and then follows when the bell chimed, following the woman she stands beside her on the fighting area and she looks at the two enemies. The dwarf will be a stiff stone to over turn in this fight, so she hopes Haru better be sturdy she thought to herself and she took her stance to get down to fighting with them, wondering how this duo will fight them. If they will start by bum rushing vex or if they will try to wear down Haru first and leave vex for later, cause she looks like she is the weak link to the team.

After dodging her for the umpteenth time, he'd flick his wrist as a magic circle formed on his hand before a burst of razor-sharp petals bloomed forth from his palm. Her golden eyes widened, as she barely managed to lunge to the side in time to avoid what would have been a brutal strike. Magic. It was not something she was used to fighting with or against. She had almost forgotten fighters could use it here since the previous battle had seemed to be nothing but a fistfight.
As the demi-human went to pick herself up from the previous leap, she felt vines wrap around her legs, making it impossible for her to move without removing them first. It appeared the nature mage not giving him on his prey just yet.
As Haru sat struggling to fend off the vines, kicking and scratching at them with her nails, in an attempt to pull herself free a solid whack hit her in the back, causing her to fall on her face. The dwarf had managed to land a kick squarely into her, sending her rolling backwards. It seemed the duo they were fighting had a strategy, after all, he was to control the field with his magic while she beat them with physical force. At least all the attention was on her for now, meaning that Vex should be free to fight back, right?

Vex then she turns to the enemy and sees the dwarf and elf are within range to both be hit. "You two will pay for hurting my cat friend here! Haru go for them fast and hard this won’t last long." she raises her arm the back of her hand facing them she then snaps and points and a magic seal appears below the elf and the dwarf and an AoE burst of water blasts up out of the ground under them, if hit their endurance is de-buffed.

Before the dwarf struck a large magic seal shone on the ground below the two enemies, as a burst of water flew around them, hitting both. Haru's eyes grew wide, her fear of water causing her to freeze up momentarily. The dwarven woman still charged regardless of the water magic, easily striking the stunned feline.
While Haru was definitely struck by the force, the neko felt no pain at all, causing her to smirk. She understood now without needing to ponder any longer. Her body was now capable of taking hits relentlessly, so she had nothing to fear as she decided to strike back, going for two short jabs at the dwarf before they had a chance to strike again.
The surprise of the water magic had clearly caught the nature mage off guard as well as his spell suddenly came to an end, freeing Haru's legs and allowing her to perform a sweeping blow and knock down the dwarf, their head making a clunk sound as it struck stone. Clearly out for the count, Haru would move their attention to the elven fellow who had been making this whole fight a lot harder than it needed to be.

She starts running on the other side of the fighting area so if the nature mage wants to try and bind and stop someone he is gonna have to pick if he stops the cat woman or if he tries to stop the wood elf both would be dangerous targets if they get up close to him, but will he drop and surrender or will he face the beating that is about to rain down on his head for daring to bind them.

Unable to make his decision fast enough, both females would reach him before he'd managed to even form his magic circle, ensuing in an onslaught of fists and heels to his body. With just a few spells Vex had managed to completely turn the tide of the battle, as both their opponents now lay defeated on the boulder. Cheers rang out through the air from the crowd for the female team along with some irritating cat-calling.

She gets closer to the cat woman and whispers. "I know you aren't looking for friends, is there anything else I should know that could come up and harm you, we are working together so you have to trust in me here." She used a warm smile to try and lure her into sharing more about herself so she can keep note of what to protect or distract her from.
