Take the Shot

There was no pressure in this little spar with his sister, even if his little woman was sitting on the sidelines spectating. Even if it didn't mean much, he had to keep his focus on the spar with his sister. He wanted to best her because of course, he was the older brother so he had to be better. And he was a warrior. This had to be his strong suit. Just like his father.
Even for a guy of his size, he could move quickly on his paws if he really needed to. And this occasion was one of them. Though it was a good length of space between himself and his sister, his bounding strides ate up the distance like nothing. He had he been more equal to her in size, then he might have used another tactic in order to start off their spar, but if he had size on his side, then why not use it. Cerulean slits were focused on his sister's creamy, russet figure, trying to anticipate her counter move. It wasn't until he was practically on top of his sister that he realized she was leaping out of the way. She launched herself straight up into the air when he was still several paces in the air, but those few paces brought him right underneath her. Taking advantage of his position, Gael threw his head up, keeping his ears flattened against his skull and his eyes narrowed, bumping Azalea's abdomen with his head hoping to disrupt her landing long enough for him to be able to arch around to come and pin her. What he didn't take into consideration, or at least what he hadn't been paying attention to, his sister's hind limb springing back out. Her back talons scraped across his forehead, nearly taking out his right eye had he not closed it entirely to save it from her claws, raking down towards the top of his muzzle. Gael tucked his head back towards his chest, tucking his tail between his hocks to avoid it becoming a target, pulling it away from her flailing limb as he rushed out from underneath her. He shook his head as he snapped his eyes back open, taking several more paces before arching around to his left, looking to charge back towards his sister and pin her if his hit had landed.
Round 2/2
Attack: Raised his head and bumped Azalea's abdomen, hoping to disrupt her landing
Defense: Ears flattened, eyes narrowed, right eye completely closed to avoid total gauging
Injuries: Scratches from his forehead down to the bridge of his muzzle
