Come down, come down sweet reverence

Clouds stretched out in the sky over the battlefield. Jynn watched the sky for a moment but as far as she could tell it didn't look like it was going to rain immediately. She probably had time to get another spar in before she needed to go take shelter. If anything the clouds were a welcome relief from the heat, the humidity not so much. Jynn left the temporary den she'd dug and set off to find a good place to call for a spar. Once she did she tossed back her head and howled for an opponent. She needed to get back in shape and set about stretching her limbs while she waited. She was trying to get better at maneuvering without trippnig herself up.

During her travel from the North Bellamy had decided that maybe, since the Battlefield was on her path south, she might pause long enough to do a spar or two. She knew she was just beginning to show in her prengnancy, and that other wolves might be able to tell at the point, but that wasn’t going to stop her from willingly participating. She hadn’t had a casual fight in goodness knew how long. Her past two had been against Ignis and well, neither had exactly been friendly. They had both gotten maimed as a result of the two battles, and for what? In the end there hadn’t really been rhyme or reason for it. Oh well, the past was the past. The call of someone seeking a spar caught Bellamy’s attention and she found herself drawn to the source. A smaller woman was the one that awaited her and Bellamy dipped her head as she approached. “Greetings.” Bellamy rumbled to her. Her companions, who had been traveling with her, trailed up on either side of their wolf companion in silence. Ears looked eager, ready to begin, whereas Whiskers was more thoughtful as she looked over their would-be opponent. “You called, we came.” Bellamy adjusted her stance and took on a more defensive one. “First move is yours, if you so wish.” "Speech" 'Thought.'

Come down, come down sweet reverence

Jynn didn’t have to wait long before a black and white femme appeared with a set of her own companions to accept the challenge. “I’d be happy to!” She hadn’t sifted through the woman’s scent enough to realize the other was pregnant and so she happily jumped right into battle. Jynn set her defenses, making sure to pin her huge ears to her head. She left her tail untucked, opting to have it for balance.

With a cheerful yip she bounded forward, long legs seeking to eat up the distance between them as she slipped suddenly to her right, seeking to twist her upper body toward Bell’s left side. Her jaws flung wide as she attempted to bite into the woman’s side, just behind her left arm.

It seemed the maned wolf woman was more than willing to start them off. Bellamy double checked her standard list of defenses mentally in her head, a quick glance over to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, and she braced herself for the other woman to come running. Though she was taller than the other she kept her ears pinned and eyes narrowed - a careless mistake in a real battle could leave them as targets. Her tail streamed out behind her, aligned with her spine for balance, and once her stand had been widened she dug her claws into the soil for tractiction and aid in balance as well. She didn’t have time for much else as the other woman gave a cheerful yip and bounded forward. Bellamy braced herself, the smaller woman starting at her head on before Jynn slipped suddenly to her own right, Bellamy’s left, and then Jynn sought to twist her upper body toward the larger woman in an attempted attack. Bellamy let her come, keeping her weight distributed evenly across her limbs to avoid having her balance disrupted. Jynn’s jaws got a hold of her side, behind her left arm, just as Bellamy was moving for her own attack. Bellamy’s head twisted to the left, her jaws parting as she attempted to clamp her jaws over Jynn’s scruff in hopes of gaining control of the smaller woman’s head and upper body. Her goal was to get a good hold on the maned wolf, though she had to be mindful of the helmet her opponent wore. While Bellamy was tall enough to reach over her if Jynn decided she wanted to retaliate she could unfortunately get some damage in since it’d be too late for Bells to change her attack. On either side of her Ears and Whisklers were at the ready to fend off the Ethiopian Wolf and Jaguar to the best of their ability - at least they could keep the two fighters focused on each other, without having to worry about their companions being thrown into the mix. "Speech" 'Thought.'

Come down, come down sweet reverence

Jynn's speed aided her as her jaws found purchase. She bit down and then hesitated. Being a large, though lightly built wolf meant she had to carefully calculate if she wanted to grab hold of a target or stick to lacerating blows then immediately moving onto the next attack. Jynn's hesitation cost her for fangs dug into her scruff and she found herself caught. Well crap! What should she do now? Her ears remained pinned to her head and her tail swiftly tucked between her legs. Pulling free would be difficult without risking damage and she didn't want to do anything to severe in a spar such as tearing deeper at tendons and ligaments.

Jynn let go and swiftly turned her head as she sought to nip up into Bellamy's left armpit. Her goal was hopefully to startle the other woman with the attack to a sensitive, and ticklish, area and give herself some time to slip away.

Success! Bellamy’s fangs grabbed onto Jynn’s scruff, though deeper than she had intended. She didn’t release her hold in response, but she didn’t follow up with the shake she had been intending either. She didn’t want to accidentally hurt the other woman more than intended for a mere spar. She didn’t really get time to consider a different route as Jynn nipped into a rather sensitive and ticklish area. She yelped in surprise, releasing Jynn, and in response surged forward, her body aimed to bump heavily into Jynn’s own. It certainly wouldn’t be enough to knock her over, but it might be enough to count as an attack. Sort of anyway. "Speech" 'Thought.'

No… shit…! She had miscalculated her shove against Jynn. The woman kept going, gliding past the maned wolf before she stumbled on her paws. She hadn’t noticed it before but she was breathing harder too. Had she overdone it? She flicked her ears back down, a huff leaving her before she managed to straighten and look at the other woman. “That’s enough. You win.” She glanced towards her belly, her chest rising and falling as she furrowed her brow. “I’m glad you hadn’t gone for my belly. I got nervous for a moment there.” She glanced back to Jynn and gave an apologetic smile. “Sorry if you were expecting more.” "Speech" 'Thought.'
