Balthier vs Inoki v2
Inoki
"And the same to you," she said with a cheery grin, noticing that he seemed to have less apprehension this time around. That was good and bad, good as she'd really have to think quickly on her feet, but bad as that meant he'd likely be more sure of his actions. But win or lose, a spar was simply good fun, and she would learn something new regardless.
This time instead of waiting for him to reach her, Inoki ran to meet him, not quite sure what she wanted to accomplish. He surprised her by raising himself up to wrap his front legs around her shoulders, and she was so caught off guard she had no time to skitter to the side before she felt him make contact. Her opponent was heavy, much heavier than her, and she felt her front legs buckle with the added weight on her shoulders.
Inoki's chest hit the ground, but she'd managed to keep her front legs extended and so began to shake her body wildly in an attempt to slip out of his grasp and back away out of his reach. Her head tipped back to snap the air around his face, not close enough to make contact with the delicate skin, but she wanted to stop him from getting in too close around her in the hopes it'd give her a better chance at escaping the hold he had on her. If she did manage to get free she wanted to spring up on her paws and dance around him. Her only advantage was her speed and agility, and she'd be damned if she didn't use it. |
