Fight tooth and nail

Hera's pale ears twitched at the rough howl that called for her, a slow smirk pulling across her lips as she listened. She imidiately turned to head toward the male in question, her steps eager as they carried her across the wet, tree filled landscape. She had been uncertain about joining a pack at first when Riv had first asked her, but now that spars seemed to be growing more and more frequent she certainly couldn't say she was bored. She found the silvery male situated on one of the larger stretches of dry land between the willows and she shot him a grin as she slowed to a stop about four or five feet in front of him. "Well then, feel like a bit of fun today, hm?" She asked with a chuckle as she began settling into her defenses. She wasn't particularly one for pleasantries, not when there were fights to be had. She felt very much the same way that she had when she had faught with Riv the first time. She felt a bit more respect for wolves that had the guts to step up and fight with as much enthusiasm as she did.

Her paws spread out evenly under her and her toes spread to grip the soft dirt under them with her claws. Her knees bent just enough to give her a better range of motion and a bit of give to absorb the impact of his attack. Her shoulders rolled forward and her scruff bunched up around her neck as it fell level with her spine. Her tail joined that even level with her back as well while her chin tucked down over her throat. Her ears fell flat against her skull, her silver eyes narrowed, and her lips curled into a snarl. She gave him a challenging glare and chuckled softly while her tail lashed behind her. She was so ready for this. Since he called this little party she would let him have the first move, waiting eagerly to see what his first move would be.
