As Good as I Ever Was

Her charge brought her slamming against Caelestis eye to eye, and she froze up at the sudden close proximity with her heart all pitter-patter. Wow, she'd never seen Cael's eyes up close, and the sea green beside the pink, the lines of deeper color that always starburst through irises at close proximity, the touch of her dark fur against Peggy's own pale pelt...

And then reality came crashing back when suddenly she found herself flipped over and actually crashing down into the dirt when Caelestis tipped them both over. She let out an undignified squeak, and she definitely did not come out on top but rather got herself pinned beneath the larger girl. Surely blushing crimson in embarrassment beneath her fur, she squirmed wildly, trying to flip over onto her back to bring all four paws up in an attempt to push Cael up and away from her. She barely had time to duck her head before Cael could get her throat, so that the older girl's jaws clutched her scruff instead. Her own jaws she aimed in an attempted grab at Cael's lower right leg, twisting her head to the side and being careful to keep her vulnerable ears pinned back and her scruff bunched up with her hackles raised to confuse any grip Cael could get there, so that she might only end up with a mouthful of fur and skin if she tried for another bite.
