[the stallion is nearly moved to object to this battle, a young lass versus and warrior. but he knows there is no stopping the queen if she sets her mind to it, and so his cry is silenced. instead, he moves backwards, opening a space so that the two could duel without the needless injury of more. he gruffly calls for the others to do the same, his tone offering little room for resistance]

The stallion could fight; she knew that before entering, and he would employ any advantage his crepuscular mind can find. Weight was in the steed's advantage, as it would be in most such contests, but only the naive would believe that either of them were relying on strength alone. Action--action was all she cared about, removing the invaders from her lands. Superficially, reason had little sway with the dark noble, but the surprise attack had been a measure specifically calculated to catch them off-guard, hitting them where they should be strong but are defensively weak. The goddess would not allow it.
Her mind raced deftly through the situation, and she only backed one hind before twisting out of their locked position. As he had predicted, she had been robbed of none of her agility, which now graced her with feline fluidity. Rapidly, she tucked her momentarily exposed flank behind her again and immediately planted herself, using roughly the same tactic from his shoulder rather than chest. The cream had no pretentious assumptions of this being an easy fight, but she would not give up her homelands without one. He had trespassed on what she loved most dearly besides the lives of her children, and it was her moral duty to challenge it. His advantage may lie in brute strength and cunning, but what a match can sheer will and passion be.

(Yay! I am officially 17! *grin* So happy. Also, just to assure you since it's been a terribly long time since I let my girl get into an all-out fight, DOL never heals herself in mid-fight. Unfair advantage, I'd say.)
