hey, soul sister

i used to think when you were gone {i'd still hear voices in these halls} Gus' swift recoil from June's aimed nip allowed the female to leap to her paws, licking her lips awkwardly at the taste of blood as she landed on her feet again. This movement allowed her to once more prepare herself for an attack on Gus' part - as he prepared his defenses, June too would get ready for his attacks. Her eyes narrowed once more, limiting her field of vision but protecting them from any attacks, and her tail extended to improve her balance as June settled her weight to be as centered as possible, and dug her paws into the soil. Her ears flicked back, pinning themselves back against her skull, protecting them from damage. She had taken advantage of August's preparation to launch an attack to prepare her defenses, and it seemed that this had done her well. When August moved into action, June flinched away from his first 'attack,' recoiling backwards just enough that his nip at her ankles did not quite land properly. His teeth closed around the flesh of her right ankle (since he sidestepped to the left, which would be her right - hope i didn't read that way wrong), but did not break the skin, leaving her still slightly bleeding ear the most serious injury that she had sustained thus far. As August attempted to move past her body, June aimed to nip lightly at his left cheek. Her attack was not aimed to land, but instead to be a warning. June figured drawing blood once in a spar was enough, and at any rate, she did not wish to harm her brother any more than she had to. As she drew back from the attempted warning bite, June let her tongue lol from her maw, a light laugh escaping her. She liked sparring! It was a strange thing for the timid creature to enjoy, but she did enjoy it. Especially with Gus. no, you're never really dead to mejune kalendae
