gale force

Strai startled a little as Bylgja turned suddenly towards him, putting a little distance between them. Immediately, he started to turn, gums pulling back over lips as he sought the threat. The reason she had turned suddenly…  before reason caught up with him. Her posture wasn't that of a threatened wolf, but a friendly one. One that was… ah, looking for a friendly spar. A match where the world itself was against them. He started to grin. He'd wanted to warm himself, what better way? He relished the chance to pit himself against her. Knowing every time he did, he got a little better.


It also felt a little like home. Energy and delight coursed through him as he let his posture develop into a fighting one. One designed to counteract the storm as he let his toes dig into the sand bar. His ears slicked back, and his eyes narrowed. He tilted his head downward a little, turning it so that part of his face was sheltered from the wind. This wasn't his first battle in a storm. She hadn't voiced her thoughts, but he agreed. It felt right.


He waited a moment to ensure she was ready, and then launched himself forward. He knew he had to pay attention to the direction of the wind, and knew his hearing was impaired because of it. He aimed to smack his shoulder into her, attempting to push her, and turn her face into the storm. At the same time, he went for an attack against her inner neck, near the shoulder. Letting her own body shelter him.
