ooc: 2 rounds sounds great! And sorry for the delay in getting a reply to you. Auditions drain all my muse >.< Athena was pleased to hear the brute she had approached accept her offer of a spar. He was a good bit larger than her, even though she was now a year old and almost her full height, but that didn't put her off in the least. She only saw it as an added challenge. Besides, this was only just for fun. Had it been a proper challenge she might be a bit more concerned. "And I'm Athena," she replied before setting her defenses as well. She would set her stance wide and steady, her paws evenly spaced under her. At the same time she would bend her knees, keeping her lower to the ground, helping her balance and making it easier for her to spring out of the way if he should attack first. Then Athena tucked her ears back against her head and her tail under her body to keep them from being targets, along with narrowing her similarly split-colored eyes. Her toes spread under her and her claws dug into the topsoil both for balance and for traction as she launched herself toward him, letting her smaller size be an advantage since it would enable her to possibly move faster than her opponent. She shifted her path slightly to the right, turning her head toward him and tucking her chin toward her neck as she moved to help protect her neck. Athena scrunched up her scruff to protect the back of her neck as she bent her head down toward his right foreleg, aiming to snap at the lower half of his leg, right under his knee. If the bite should land she wouldn't latch on, she would let her teeth do their damage, then keep moving. She would brace herself by leaning her weight toward him, just in case he decided to try to throw his weight into her to knock her off balance. Then as she slipped past him she would try to land a second bite on his right hind leg, this one a bit higher, just right above his knee. Again, she wouldn't latch on. She wasn't trying to seriously injure him, only slow him down. If she was successful in getting past him, she would quickly turn to face him again, her tail flaring out and lining up with her spine to help with her balance, using it as a counterweight to keep from knocking herself over. She would set all of her previous defenses then, waiting for her opponent to make the next move. 1/2 for Practice Defenses: Stance wide and even, knees bent, toes spread, claws dug in, ears back, tail first tucked and then out for balance, eyes narrowed, chin tucked, scruff bunched up, leaning her weight toward him to brace against him throwing his weight at her Attack: Running past him to the right, taking a bite at his right foreleg right under the knee and right hind leg right above the knee Injuries: None yet Speech Thought Others |
