Willows

His movements were halfway successful and, amusingly, she appeared to be ticklish. She staggered before she caught herself and was in motion a beat later. As she ripped forward, he released any grip he might have still had and kept an eye on her. As she swung in toward his left, and her teeth aimed toward his body, he dropped abruptly, haunches coiling underneath himself as he came nearly to his belly, forepaws out ahead of him. Her teeth scored only his armor from behind his left shoulder to midback before he went into motion.

He twisted, still low, after her, and as she kicked out at him, he snaked his head forward, tipping as his jaws parted and snapped for her paw, aiming to get his canines ahead of her limb rather than digging into the paw. He dug in his paws and lunged backward, hoping to jerk his younger opponent off her feet should he have captured his target.

Regardless of success, he wouldn’t maintain a hold, releasing soon after his backward lunge before pushing off on his hind legs to leap after her in a tackle that was, in that moment, pure, overgrown puppy in motion. He aimed to half-tackle the younger wolf, though most of his bulk was aimed to the side of her as his left fore-paw aimed to snag across her shoulder and topple her. Should she look back at him, she'd see one of those trademark, good-natured grins that said he meant absolutely no ill in the move, and even held a note of approval.

He didn't care if he won or loss. Either way, he'd had a good spar with a possible new friend, and it would all go toward his learning.
