Baldur nodded that it was to be a friendly match and he repeated that in his head like a mantra. Raised in a militant pack he and his brothers were often punished for attacks that were anything less than brutal though of all his brother's Baldur was most capable of casting his training aside, well in his opinion anyway.


The first move was to be his and a flutter of nervous excitement ran down his spine. It had been awhile. Usually he was the one responding to attacks his joking and impulsive attitude certainly didn't help that though he'd grown quite a bit from his time in Alacritia. Baldur's ice-blue eyes slid a sidelong glance at a large albino brute that would stand eye to eye with him. The stranger didn't seem intent on intervening and Baldur assumed he was probably waiting to see if he wanted to duel the winner.


Setting aside his musing Baldur set his mind to focus on his first attack, gaze shifting back to Sibelle as he nodded once again. He would make the first attack per her request. Baldur re-checked his defenses. Fur raised, hackles lacing down his back. His shoulders were rolled forward, neck scrunched back as his chin dipped down over his chest. Baldur's stance was widened slightly, his legs bent and coiled to lower his center of gravity. Ebony toes splayed as claws gripped rock for the traction he'd need to launch his attack. Snowy ears were pinned to his head, jaws slightly parted as his tail strayed directly behind him even with his spine. Brows furrowed, Baldur launched his attack.


The muscles in his his powerful thighs rippled as he pushed off in a bid to close the distance between the pair. He approached Sibelle nearly head-on, slipping only slightly to his right. His neck twisted to his left in an attempt to bite onto the left side of Sibelle's neck, higher up and right in front of her left shoulder blade so he could get a grip on his opponent. As he'd move to meet this target his weight would shift to his hind legs so that is right front limb could seek to fall across Sibelle's back, an inch or two behind that left shoulder blade. His left front limb sought to wrap around her left front leg midway between her ankle and elbow to pull the limb towards him as his back legs would uncoil pushing him forward. He hoped his weight and larger frame would throw her off balance and maybe even bring her to the ground.
