The man's gaze shifted at the sound of that sardonic voice, his own internal thoughts pressed to the back of his mind as he regarded her. A singular eyebrow rose as she stepped closer towards him, that annoyance rolled off of her in waves he could nearly feel and yet, Tetradore stood his ground all the same, hardly perturbed in the slightest. He was hardly surprised by that declaration of war the woman offered him, nearly demanding that he proved his point that she hardly stood a chance against those beasts that haunted his halls. His lips pressed together into a small frown as she declared him 'of some rank'. Dear God, she knew nothing of what she was truly asking, did she? To think she could best the were king was altogether laughable. He was invincible within the ring, never once bested even by creatures far larger than his size. His species was wholly unique, those large canines meant to piece skulls in a fashion few others could. He preyed off of fear in more ways than one and yet, a mere mortal with soft human flesh was challenging him?

Tetradore watched as she presented him with a cheshire grin, her fingers reaching down to pull out those daggers and toss them to the side. She wasn't serious about this, was she? That taunt that left her lips caused him to roll his eyes, his voice decidedly deadpan as he responded, "You are a complete idiot." A soft sigh left his lips as she drew her hair together, braiding it with rapid ease and yet, he simply stood there, eying her quite intently with his arms crossed over his chest. Tetradore still hadn't yet decided if he was going to entertain this notion. After all, he wasn't even sure yet she was worth his time. She was obnoxious and haughty and a bit disrespectful but, it was entirely within his capabilities to put the girl back in her place. His gaze slid slowly down her figure as she took up her stance before moving back up and yet, he still made no effort to move. He watched as she rolled her muscles, clearly preparing herself as that final taunt so left her lips, followed closely after with a wink. Tetradore shook his head, his voice decidedly unhurried as he offered in response, "I can't tell if you really are this stupid or just have a death wish." And really, it was quite the valid question. Who possibly thought they could take down an animal several hundreds of pounds heavier than them with just their bare hands?! Apparently Vhalla.

That sentence alone, however, apparently seemed enough to push her beyond the edge, the girl quite nearly charging him in those moments. It hardly would have been difficult to just avoid her attacks, his affinity well capable of doing so and yet, perhaps it was best to cull this ridiculousness before he got any further along. Those shadows so clung to him, teleporting him away from her direct path and instead appearing behind her and on the opposite side of the clearing. "As you wish." He muttered softly, pulling his jacket from his frame before reaching up to peel that shirt off of his toned caramel skin. Both were dropped upon that snow covered ground, a small shiver running up his spine as he reached down to undo the button on his jeans, letting both them and his boxers fall to join that small mound of clothing. That sight of the man's flesh, however, was entirely short lived as that shift so abruptly over came his figure, occuring in no more than mere seconds before that abnormally large jaguar stood where there had once been flesh and bones.

The feline's jaw parted, revealing those sharpened canines, a loud roar echoing in the quietness of that clearing. This was the 'pretty creature' he was, this beast of muscle and claws and teeth, this was the very thing she intended to so best and yet, those intelligent emerald eyes still watched her with a piercing gaze as the predator slowly began to circle her, his claws digging into the snow beneath him in the process. If she wanted to play, he would oblige her this once, to a certain extent. For now, however, he was willing to show her exactly what she was up against, that ebony tail lashing in his wake as that low growl reverberated in his throat. Well girl, now what will you do?
