sparring in the rain

Ezra grinned at the enthusiasm Ike had at his suggestion of a spar, glad that he had found a like minded wolf when it came to fighting. He knew she had been a part of the tournament as well, but he knew not all wolves that practiced did it out of enjoyment and he didn't want to make her do something that she only did out of obligation. She was quick to jump right into the thick of things and lunged at him almost immediately and he quickly dropped into a familiar defensive stance to take her on.

He still had a little bit of a height advantage over her since she was still growing, but she was lighter and a bit faster, especially with this element of surprise she had. Her forelegs wrapped around his neck and while his armor did block her talons from hooking into his scruff, they were able to hook around the edge of the metal plate on his armor so she was still able to get a pretty good grip on him all the same. He yanked his head to the side to avoid her antlers that she tried to jab into his jaw, but by doing that it kept him from being able to avoid her biting at his neck, making him wince as her teeth poked at his skin. Aquila swooped down from the near by tree to chase off her canine companion as he tried to circle around Ezra and he tried to just do his best to see past the wings of the pheasant on her back.

He tried to twist some in her grip so that he could throw his shoulder into her chest - though not super hard since he didn't want to hurt her too badly with the spiked pauldrons that capped his shoulders. He also tried to reach one of his long limbs around her side as he twisted to try and pull her down to the ground, hoping that her two-footed stance on the wet sand would make it easier for him to knock her down.
