But everything about Luna's posture suggested they wouldn't be participating. That she'd chosen direct confrontation to finish this by her hand.
Was it perhaps because she didn't want to use tactics that felt unfair?
A preference for direct confrontation over a strategic optimization that could be perceived as cowardly?
Luna had demonstrated during years that she valued certain honor code in how she approached things.
Or perhaps it was simply because, as Liora had discovered during her own battle, starting with absorption wasn't convenient for some specific reason related to mechanics of how the wolf processed stolen energy.
Perhaps there was a limit to how much it could store before battle without creating instability.
