Cormalin |
Cormalin nodded as the young male confirmed his question, but he didn?t miss the startled look of recognition the fellow gave Surreal. Nor the nod of familiar greetings from his niece. The fellow forced himself to look back at Cormalin, and introduced himself. Hm. A former Tortugan. Did he sense a bit of displeasure or resentment in Rune?s eyes? Perhaps the newest leader wasn?t to the young male?s liking. To Cormalin, anyone who wasn?t Morphine, who had a bad reputation already, was better. He?d heard rumors that the female hated Valhalla. But anyways, back to business. The young male mimicked Cormalin?s stance. Cormalin had a sense that this was Rune?s first true spar. There was a deeper determination there, however. This spar had to mean something. This male had a goal. Perhaps his resentment to whoever had taken over Tortuga?s lands would lead to a challenge? Something familiar? His build? Maybe the set of his eyes. Kylar. Though it had been a while since that strange spar, the face was still engraved in his mind. This must be offspring. His shoulder ached from the memory of the large male?s weight smashing into it. That male had been courteous, rather like this fellow. He could contribute. He sensed that the male had nothing against Valhalla. He nodded, then spoke. ?How about? Four rounds? We have a Challenge coming up that I must attend, so no serious injury.? His head lowered to cover his throat, and his ears folded back to his head. Behind him, his tail rose to a balanced position as he rocked lightly back on his haunches. He didn?t let his body hide the warnings. He was giving the male and his niece a lesson. He charged at Rune, but instead of making contact directly, he swept past the male on the right side until he was about halfway, then drove his hind paws into the dirt, claws digging into the turf for purchase, tail sweeping low and to the outside, keeping him balanced as he swung into a fluid rollback to the left and lunged toward Rune?s right side, aiming to knock him off balance or to the ground. It was a test to see how quickly the fellow caught on to an attack like this. Usually, he gave the spar caller the first move. This time was different. Round: 1/1 Defenses: Before first move | His head is lowered to cover his throat, and his ears are folded back to his head. his tail rose to a balanced position (Slightly lower than his rump) lightly balancing on his haunches. | In Move | Tail remains balanced, haunches squarely set under him, claws digging in for purchase, tail sweeping low and outward (Right) during the swerve, to straighten out behind as his lunges. Attacks: Charging toward Rune, he passes Rune on the right (Rune's left) side, and halts hard to swerve in at Rune's side, intending to ram the male of balance, or knock him down. No other attacks. Injuries: none, first round. Out Of Character Notes: Took me a bit to figure out an attack. xD Cormalin usually lets the attack come to him. TALLY HOOOO |
