Come down, come down sweet reverence

Ahhh it was good to be back north now that the warmer seasons had returned. She hadn't sparred in ages and so headed to the battlefield in search of an opponent. A spar would also have the advantage of serving as exercise. Not that she was in dire need of it. Constant cross-continent travel had a tendency to keep one slim. Still, she was eager to do more than just walking and a spar sounded like a nice departure from her usual routine.

Once she arrived at the fields she scoped out a good place to serve as a fight ring then tipped back her head and bark-roared for an opponent.

Something rattled in her bones. There was a tense feeling that she needed to shake. Even as she prowled through Boreas, she couldn't get rid of it. No animal would settle the unease within her so the Battlefield was her target destination. She could smell the rot and decay from a mile away. It would be the perfect place to release the tension digging into her muscles. Maybe it was the sleepless nights causing her to be on edge. Maybe it was the whispers of a raid for the future. Either way, she needed to let it all out. Thankfully, as her burly paws trekked through the bloodstained dirt, it would not take long for her steely gaze to land on a contender. The ringing howl that echoed over the deserted land caused every bit of her to tense. No words, no courtesy, just one glance and nod in Jynn's direction as she approached. This was not a place for niceties. All knew that the Battlefield was for sparring and one coming here looking for something else would surely be in danger. Stretching her limbs into long strides to cover the final distance between them, Tenshi reached out with arms flayed wide. To her opponent, it might appear as a feline-like move, but with Tenshi's heavy body, keeping her thinner opponent close was a better option. Aiming to wrap her front legs around Jynn's shoulders in a bear hug, she kept her chin tucked and ears flattened. If successful, she would try to wrestle Jynn to the ground.

Jynn shuffled, a light hop from right to left to keep herself loose and to get rid of excess nervous energy. It felt like it'd been awhile since she'd sparred. Hopefully it would come right back to her. She was soon joined by a pretty horned wolf who gave her a nod of greeting then jumped right into the fight. Jynn tensed, swiftly setting her defenses and making sher her large ears were pinned as out of the way as she could get them.

As the woman lifted up onto her hind legs and launched her arms toward Jynn, the shorter woman ducked down and kicked off hard seeking to dive under Tenshi's belly. The movement caused the other woman's arms to sail over her head. Jynn's long neck darted forward as she attempted to nip Tenshi's right thigh.

Tenshi was not surprised but more delighted to see that her foxy opponent was swift. It would have been disappointing if her flying leap had actually landed on the smaller stranger. Watching as her heftier frame sailed over the top of Jynn, she struggled to gain more control. Perhaps she had put a little too much oomph into her initial attack. As Tenshi began twisting her hindquarters so that her rear paws could find a better purchase in the slick dirt beneath them, she felt a sharp pang pierce into her thigh. Gritting her teeth together as a growl rumbled within, she managed to finally get her front paws on the ground to begin sliding away. Pivoting her rear end away from Jynn as hair fluttered into the air, she darted forward with her front end. Leaning down so that she was more on an even level with the girl, Tenshi pushed a shoulder forward and aimed her own nip at Jynn's side.

Jynn managed to score a hit, nipping the other woman's thigh before she pivoted her hindquarters out of the maned wolf's reach. Jynn swiftly pivoted as well in an attempt to bring them back face to face though she hadn't quite managed before Tenshi sprang into action. Jynn quickly leapt to her right, just barely managing to avoid the other warrior's shoulder but Tenshi's neck had a far greater range and her fangs clipped Jynn's flesh just behind her right front leg.

Jynn kicked off, attempting to bring herself face to face with Tenshi again as she dove in low seeking to latch onto the front of Tenshi's right front leg in front of the elbow joint. She hoped to get hold and push forward with enough force to cause the limb to bend and unbalance her opponent.
