Elias made something that of a hissing noise when the other creature made fun of the way he spoke. The gator was there to do the tournament, not talk. If they took a break from their wrestling round in the middle of the round there was a chance they could be disqualified and Elias wanted to get better at this. Fighting thing, which meant this would give him experience in the non-kill takedowns. Alas, he was against someone much larger than him. That didn't mean he couldn't win, though.
Before he could get a good hold on anything, the head of that creature smacked right into his side and he was sent sliding a ways, claws gripping, and failing to grip into the rocky ground of the cave. When he stopped moving, there was a considerable amount of dust lingering in the air. Elias only grunted.
