The Kill
Boy did his muscles ache. The young boy hadn't set foot in the battlefield for some time, concentrating his time all in his work of becoming an alpha. Now that it was here, he needed to refine his skills more. Most of it he had been forced to learn by experience and observing, however a still chuckle left his lips knowing his opponent this time would be a part of his family. Did this affect how he felt about sparring? He didn't think so, after all one of his last opponent he had tried to break their bones despite them being a relative of his. Of course he'd never dream of injuring Avalon to where she couldn't function in her day to day life - but he retaliated with the same violence if not a little more than his opponent. Large paws made the young boy stop ahead of her. About ten feet he stood directly in a line at her face. Only slightly taller, but taller still he felt his tail level out with his spine. Relaxing himself as he gave his aunt a clean smile. "I'll be your opponent today." he chipped in. As then, he would give her the first move, promptly setting his defenses. Automatically his knees bent slightly - making sure that his balance would be much harder to throw of. Toes spreading against the dirt for more traction. His abdomen muscles tightened, making his body more rigid more difficult to move. As his eyes narrowed to slits to protect his sight, and ears pinned to his skull to make sure they couldn't be snagged away. Tail still level with his spine, his scruff pulled forward adding more skin to the back of his skull and his neck. That would make it harder to bite there as well as get control of his head. His shoulders rolled inward, ready to pounce and react at any moment. Allowing him to be in control of his body despite it's rigidness. Also to protect his tender neck, he tucked his chin closer to his chest. Not wanting to be choke. His lips pulled back, scrunching up the muscles near his face making it so the hardened flesh and muscle around his nose would make it more difficult to put a hold. Also putting his teeth into a flash ready attack mode.
