The smaller wolf returned the sentiment, albeit not as warmly, and in a much more monotonous tone. Very well, it seemed this spar was more business than pleasure. Astrophel could get behind that. He had just prepared himself to begin when the other wolf shot forward at speed, much faster than he would have assumed the wolf could move at from a stand-still. It looked as if his opponent was going for a straight-on strike, and so Astrophel dug his hind legs into the sand to steady his balance, bunching his shoulders so he could take the brunt of the impact without too much trouble. But then at the last second the smaller wolf dashed to the side, spinning as he did so, and kicked out with a hind leg against his side. A little thrown off, balance-wise and mentally, he stumbled to the side from the force of the attack that had come from a direction he had not prepared against, but swiftly regained his balance and turned on his feels to face his opponent again. Astrophel took but a moment to gauge what his attack would be, before stepped forward with a long stride and moving to shoulder check the smaller wolf, wanting to force his left shoulder directly into the other's hind end and push through with his momentum to try and unbalance the wolf. It seemed as if teeth weren't going to be a part of this spar, so Astrophel was more than willing to throw his weight around instead.
