People-pleasing planet

Ludovic’s grin widened as her nervous laugh escaped, her anticipatory energy almost infectious. He held his ground, watching her hop from paw to paw with something between amusement and approval. When she stretched low, obviously preparing herself, he inclined his head just slightly, observing the way she set her defenses up. "There she is. The fighter." he murmured under his breath, more to himself than to her, though his tail gave a subtle flick of encouragement, of excitement—maybe both. His stance remained calm, loose, and steadfast as she introduced herself.

“Lore, huh?” he repeated smoothly, testing the sound of her name on his tongue, voice faintly mischievous. “Well, let’s see what you—” Her sudden lunge cut him off, her burst of speed catching him off guard as she darted to his right side. He let out a sharp laugh, a mix of surprise and delight, as he tried to pivot in order to face her, his body acting on reflex. But her aim was clever—he felt her teeth catch his back paw, and the unexpected angle forced him to stagger, before he shifted his weight on his other three paws to avoid losing balance entirely.

“Quick on the uptake, aren’t you?” he remarked, voice still playful as he twisted sharply, aiming to loop his forepaw over her shoulder and use his weight to push her off-balance in turn. Not quite wanting to use his teeth or talons on her. The glint in his eye and the teasing lilt of his voice made it clear—he was enjoying this, and he wasn’t about to let her win easily.
