Forge me in flames; Spar

A boy lathered in moon-lit tones would grace the field before her. His long legs taking him in stride to the centre of her vision and she found herself for a moment taking in his golden orbs, and the fierce look of determination that caressed his features. She would offer him a slowly spreading grin as she stretched out her muscles in preparation for the time ahead. Her paws would slide outwards easily, naturally as they found a grip against the earth and claws would dig against the earth for an extra touch of traction. Her lushly dark toned ears would fold backwards against her skull to give him less to grip upon as she rolled forth her shoulders to protect her vitals. Her banner would flare out behind her for balance as her chin tucked downwards over her delicate throat. She would flex out her claws again, her back would arch upwards to appear larger and more frightening, bending her knees and feeling the looseness of her joints telling her she was ready. Again her claws would grip the earth and now her hackles would rise behind her even as her brilliant eyes would flash and a single lid would drop once in a seductive wink.



The boys lush tones would stretch out across the void between them and again her muzzle would stretch out into a grin as she read the soft uncertainty in his tones. ?Oh, my dear it would be but an honour? her voice was rich with easy humour. No more words would have their chance for utterance since her stranger seemed that the time was right. He would lunge towards her, covering the gap between them in bounds of his long legs. His teeth would part and as she leaned her weight forward to take the hit his weight would find her. She would loosen herself subtly; buoyant knees moved back that slightest fraction to lessen the impact against her even as her claws dug deeper into the earth to stabilize her. She would allow the attack that went for her rolled shoulders, letting the thick fur and muscles in her left shoulder there take it as he moved his paw off the ground to push against her. She had been waiting for the slightest hint of lesser balance in him and this would be that moment. With his head close to her to get at her shoulder she would aim to move her own jaws to latch on to the left side of his cheek, a softer place to bite into then a shoulder. Should the aim hit she would also move her left paw forward, aiming to dig her claws into the hollow webs of his right paw, should her claws find their mark they would dig into the soft webs and aim to hold his paw down to throw off his balance, had her teeth found their mark in his cheek she would push all of her weight down with her teeth and to his left side where his raised paw would lessen his stability. She would roll her shoulders back to lessen surface where his left paw had aimed to push against her.
