Natasha was not expecting that. Her eyes go wide when the knife rips free and then she's solidly on her stomach struggling under the weight of Vanyel's wolf deliberately trying to keep her down.
She doesn't want to thrash--the wolf might latch onto her to try and keep her down if she does and Natasha isn't committed enough to winning this to deal with that. She also doesn't want to severely hurt Vanyel in a way that would be hard to recover from. The spy doesn't see a way for this fight to continue without doing potentially both of these things. And even then, she's not convinced she could even win.
Instead, Natasha raises her hand and calls out in a clear voice.
"The match is yours!" The crowd erupts in glee at the outcome, and already there's a succubus-maid strutting out to escort Vanyel off to be treated for his more major injuries. Natasha gets up once the wolf is off of her and gives Vanyel a nod before she turns and heads back to her own door. 'Good match' her gaze says. She'll catch up with him later to chat and trade pointers. He's taught her a lot.
