Pushing and pulling like the tides of the ocean, Bane and Gent struggled against each other. Kova was happy to see that biting was kept to a minimum and that the two wolves really weren't accruing  any injuries from this battle. He was glad because whenever he had thought about wolves battling for rank he had imagined the scene being rather bloody even if the wolves didn't kill each other. This though, this made Kova much less unsure about the whole idea of pushing around a pack mate. It was clear to him that they weren't doing it out of anger at each other, but simply to see who was the strongest. The young wolf knew that the strongest wolves generally dwell in the higher ranks keeping the pack strong. So it was only natural for another wolf who thought he was stronger than his superior to challenge them much like Gent had done with Bane.

Still, Kova felt bad for Bane. He could see now that the dark wolf was losing and Kova wasn't sure if he liked Gent enough to have him lording over everyone. Well that was if Gent acted like that. Kova wasn't sure as of yet. Maybe he would turn out to be a good man like Bane was. However, Bane had been a good wolf from the start, and Kova would not have minded taking orders form the Aranna wolf. One day maybe I'll be strong enough to take somebody on... He thought quietly momentarily forgetting about his own fight with the lone wolf. Kova had lost that battle, but he had giving as much as he had taken.

Suddenly the two males stilled. Kova looks over their forms excitedly wondering who had come out on top. “It's over?” He said this question aloud though the young lad hadn't meant to. He shifted to the right taking the weight off of his left foreleg, then whisked his tail back and forth in a slow wag. The young wolf watches the finale taking close note of the victor. Then he waits patiently for the wolves to break apart before attempting to slip by them and into the den.
