Balthier vs Inoki v2

Inoki had been lazing about nearby, torn between exploring the mines of the mountain, and heading southward to go looking for some more herbs, so when she heard the call for a sparring partner she shot up to her paws excitedly. Perhaps a quick friendly spar would be just the thing she needed to help her make a decision, as she often felt her mind was the most clear after something as invigorating as a fight between two strangers that didn't really mean the other harm. She moved at speed to the battlefield once again, her short legs making surprisingly quick work of the distance, and it didn't take her long to come upon the familiar golden-toned form of the wolf she had sparred with once before.

She pranced over to him, delight shining in her eyes, and offered up a friendly bark in greeting. "So we meet again, eh?" Inoki  squared up her stance, this time taking a more offensive stance compared to the first time they sparred, readying to push off with her hind legs to meet him halfway, wanting to test out her ability to make quick attacks, rather than dancing around at the edge of her opponent's reach.
