Winds of Change [spar]

A young male answered her call in what seemed like no time at all. Peregrine looked him over, realizing at once that he was already a bit larger than herself despite being somewhat more youthful. Jerk, she thought to herself, ever eloquent. It made her feel better when he gave her a fragmented, somewhat awkward greeting. She grinned at him and said, "Yes indeed. It's been too long since I tested my mettle against someone not actively trying to kill me. If you're here to rumble I'm ready when you are!" She stood and took a moment to ready herself, hopefully giving the boy a moment to collect his thoughts as well. Peregrine settled slowly into a stance she'd nearly forgotten. Her legs spread out evenly beneath her, braced for balance. Each claw dug into the earth beneath her, ready to push off or be pushed, whichever happened first. Her tail stretched straight out behind her and lifted, a sign of her confidence and hopefully an aid to her balance now that her spine was aligned from her nose to the tip of her tail. She tucked her chin, and allowed her hackles to rise. She forced the loose skin of her ruff to fall forwards, affording her throat as much protection as possible. Her ears flattened to her skull, her eyes narrowed, and she bared her teeth, ready to snap at the slightest provocation. Every muscle in her body was tense and ready to act or react, yet she forced the joints within her legs to loosen and bend, lowering her center of gravity and allowing her to remain nimble. The boy stood approximately ten feet away, which she judged to be a good distance. It was not too close for comfort, but gave her options as to where she ought to focus her efforts. Peregrine rocketed forward into her attack, hoping to take her opponent off guard. She attempted to close the distance between them in no more than two paces, thinking she would have to be much quicker than he to make her planned attacks work. She charged him head on before feinting to her own left, then pushing off hard on her left side paws to spring back to her right. If the feint slowed him by even a breath should would consider herself lucky. Upon arriving on his left side in the same motion she would shift her hindquarters one extra step to the right so that her body met his at a 25° angle, hopefully maintaining distance between his jaws and her tail, along with other choice body parts. She aimed her jaws for his hind left leg just above the knee, and attempted to grab hold of the limb by tilting her head slightly to the right, hoping to clasp and crush it with her upper jaw latching onto it's outer side, and her bottom jaw biting into the inner side of the limb. She then picked up her left forepaw, struggling a bit with the close confines, and attempted to slam in down on his hind left paw so that she would hopefully compromise his balance even further, or at least break a toe or two. Finally, she would attempt to throw all of her weight into the shoulder of her left side, presuming that with one leg out of the picture she might be able to gain a quick advantage and topple him sideways.
