Life in the fast lane

ooc: SO SORRY Life attacked me and I didn't get to reply. Lets do a fighting lesson/unjudged spar. We can both get some points that way. A little anxious energy and nerves crept in when Regulus showed up to watch, but she just did her best to ignore him. Now she had to focus on not making a fool of herself in front of him. Adore felt a little better once Domari gave her some praise and started to get into his own defenses as well. She watched how he set up his defenses and tried to mimic him as closely as possible. The more she focused on the task at hand the easier it was to keep her mind in the moment rather than letting it worry over outside things. She lifted her ears from her head so she could hear him more easily while he explained what to do with her tail. It felt like a lightbulb moment and she settled her tail so that it was flat with her spine for now. Still acting as his mimic, Adore rolled her shoulders forward, feeling how the skin bunched up around her neck. With her fur spiked up to match his she looked like a bumpy, rainbow fluff ball, but she didn't realize it since she was so concerned with making sure she was doing it right. For once she was grateful for her slightly oversized paws as she spread her toes to follow Domari's instructions and dug her claws into the dirt. At least her feet were big enough to give her some traction. Her brows lifted a bit at his question and she realized that this was where the spar part came in. She lowered her ears back against her head and made sure all of her defenses were still set, including the once he had just taught her. She was nervous to start out the fight herself, but when would she possibly get a chance to impress Regulus if not now? Maybe he would like that she took the initiative? That's what she hoped anyway. "I'll go." She took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes before she decided to just go for it. She sized him up while she tried to decide what the best thing to do would be since he was a good bit bigger than herself. Adore hurried toward him, realizing that her claws being dug in helped her push off the ground faster. Once she was close enough she tried to move so that he was a little to the right of herself so that their right shoulders would hit each other. Her shoulder blade would probably line up more with the lower part of his shoulder or maybe the top of his leg if she was able to hit him, but she figured that was the idea of it anyway. She didn't want to bite him since it was just practice, so she tried to just reach with her jaws toward the place on his side immediately behind his right foreleg and just tried to nip at the fur there to show where she would have bitten him if this was a real fight.
