Malalia
She snorted lightly as he joined her in the ring. 'Step one, done.' She was sure in herself when it came to the basics, but there was always something to reach for.
Her mentor stood opposite of her, and with a grin of his own, he made his challenge. 'Ohhhhh boy.' That was one thing she was less sure of--making the first move on a wolf that was larger than herself. The man being a relative giant, he could crush her if she made a wrong move. 'So, don't.'
When he motioned for her, she moved immediately, giving a strong push from her hindlegs. At full speed, she dashed in a semi-circle on her right, keeping her weight low to the ground. Her eyes were trained on his hindlegs. But as she neared his side, Malalia cut sharply to her left. Along a path going underneath his belly, she would grab his left foreleg by the ankle, barreling forward with the force of all her weight in an attempt to yank his foreleg back and behind his right, in doing so (hopefully) dragging him off his feet.
She would quickly release, darting out on the other side of him to avoid his weight, should he try to pin her. But as she spun around to face him again, she realized he wouldn't counter, not just yet. She gave a short exhale and lowered into a defensive position once again, awaiting his instruction.
