Mud wrestling

Bramble's zealous enthusiasm to kick off their spar was infectious, and it brought a toothy grin across the Aegis' muzzle. "Bring it on, pup!" he teased her back despite his once little girl now almost matching him to height, fire-toned eyes narrowing to focus on his opponent while she squared up against him. After watching his youngest litter go tumbling about their own separate way in a pile of mud and puppy limbs, his attention returned to Bramble just in time to watch her spring after him. Almost immediately, he could see the way her paws scrabbled to find footing in the loose mud, her charge more like an energetic flail than a graceful bound. Smirking with barely contained amusement, Art watched Bramble do her best to lunge for him, only for his lanky daughter to stumble and go sliding past him, her sire taking an almost comedic sidestep to his right just to smoothly put himself out of her way.

He laughed—then exclaimed in surprise as Bramble's leg shot out to snatch one of his hind legs out from beneath him. Thankfully with his momentum and sidestep, Artorias ended up just sliding down into a sitting position in the mud, still very much upright while he turned to face his daughter as she slip-slides away past him. "Nice try, kiddo! But you're gonna have to be more agile than that!" As if demonstrating his point, Art stood up and kicked off the mud, leaping through the air and coming to land with his paws kicked out so he slid on his heels to the opposite side of Bramble, a playful grin on his face. "Can you hit a moving target, Brammie?" he asked, pushing off his heels and sliding through the mud behind her again. He wasn't aiming to take her down, but he was going to challenge his ambitious girl.
