To follow in the pawprints of the ones before me

The woman waited, and as she waited she heard the call of Splatter as her winged companion arrived on the scene. The bird had become a great help to her thus far and she was grateful for his companionship. Hopefully, in time they would become used to one another and really work in sync. For now, however, it was a learning process for both of them. It wasn’t much longer after Splatter had arrived that a stranger appeared. He was a bit older than she was but he seemed kind enough. He was willing to take her up on her search for a sparring partner though and that was why she was here, was it not? He looked strong and capable, and Nuru dipped her head to him. “Kind of you, friend. I am Ngurulivu Ancora-Desrosiers. Let this be an honorable spar.” The woman slipped into a defensive stance. Her ears fell back against her skull, she narrowed her eyes and raised her hackles before widening her stance and distributing her weight evenly across all four limbs. Her tail raised to align with her spine while her head lowered to it and she shifted her head downward slightly to protect her throat. Splatter cried in the air above her. It was time. The woman charged forward, taking note that the man had no armor or weapon to assist him in battle. She came head-on, pivoting as she drew close, seeking to come up alongside his left side with her own left side parallel to him. She jutted her left shoulder point outward as she came and sought to drive it into the shoulder blade of the male. Furthermore, she sought to bring her head towards her right, tilting it at an angle, before she reached to the left and sought to grab onto the fur along the top of his back and hang on. She didn’t want to hurt the stranger with a bad bite, but she had a plan if she managed to get ahold of him with her slam and grab tactic. And if not, well, that was how a fight went! She’d have to react on the fly. "Talk, 'Think.'
