Best Buds [Nolan]
07-11-2020, 10:32 PM
Nolan was a bit surprised by his friend's howl calling him toward the edge of the territory, but the rambunctious energy in Cai's tone and the promise of a spar made a wide grin spread across the young man's muzzle. He certainly didn't have to be asked twice when it came to getting into a spar with his best friend. He quickly got to his paws and took off in a loping trot with his naturally long strides to meet him. It had been a while since he had gotten to spar and it was one thing that he certainly meant to do more often. Maybe Cairo would be able to help him remedy that.
He slowed when he got close enough to Cai to be able to clearly smell his scent. There seemed to be another scent mixed with his - something he'd have to hound his friend about later - but an idea popped in his head that was too good to pass up. He made sure that the wind was blowing toward him so his scent wouldn't drift toward Cai too soon. He got down in a crouch and hid himself behind the tall grasses and occasional trees as he made a wide arc around where Cai was standing till he was behind him. There was still a good bit of space between the two of them since the grasses didn't go all the way to the edge of the stream, but he hoped it would give him a bit of a surprise attack advantage.
Nolan coiled his muscles beneath him and quickly sprung forward with a grin, his tail wagging behind him. He felt like a pup attacking one of his playmates, but the playful nature of it all was welcome in his book. They could still have a real spar to learn from and have fun with it at the same time. With a couple long leaps he was close enough to reach Cai and reared back onto his hind legs, which he spread slightly to give him a more stable sense of balance. His paws sunk a bit into the soft sandy shore of the stream, but he was able to regain his footing fairly easily. His lighter build did come in handy from time to time. He reached forward with his forelegs to try and wrap them around Cai's haunches or neck, anything to get a hold of his friend and try to shove him into the shallow water.
