He followed as they made their way to the training rings, settling into his place across from her as she did. She allowed him the first move, though he was hesitant to start. She was shorter and leaner than him, giving him the size advantage for once, but it was hardly much of that. She had far more experience in this ring than he and he was still getting used to the sand and the difference it had from the usual dirt and grass he was used to. Perhaps better than sparring where they had been, but still uneven and easy to lose one's footing if they weren't careful.
Usually, he used his speed and lack of height to his advantage since many of the wolves here were much larger than him, but that wouldn't work with her. While he was sure she was used to fighting wolves seemingly twice his size, this spar wasn't looking to be in his favor. Regardless, it wouldn't stop him from trying and he finally lunged towards her, tucking his head low in case she assumed he would use his height to get above her.
He moved swiftly, but the sand of course slowed him as he pushed through. Careful to keep his footing, he tucked his jaw as close as he could to his chest and flattened his ears as he hoped to work his way under Malalia or at least ram into some part of her if she started to move away. His body was kept low to protect what he could, but there was little he could do to protect his back and nape in this position. He could only hope his weight would be enough to at least knock the wind out of her, or maybe even make her stumble and struggle to regain her stance.
