And the trumpets they go~

speech,





Libra was really only a little surprised when Sibelle's russet form appeared to answer her challenge. She had hoped that maybe she would get to practice a bit and shake the rust off her skills before she faced Sibelle herself, but she was just as happy to take on Sibelle. Of course Libra saw her missing eye. It was hard to miss. That made no difference to the golden warrior however. She had grown up with wolves of all shapes and sizes, all walks of life, that had earned their battle scars and had kept on fighting. In fact, Sibelle getting back into sparring so quickly made her respect the other woman more. Libra grinned with excitement and replied "That I am."

She settled into her defenses as well, starting with folding her ears neatly back against her skull and narrowing her eyes. Her paws spaced out under her as her weight settled evenly into a firm, balanced stance just as her lips curled up into a snarl, bunching up the skin there protectively around her muzzle, cheeks, and eyes. Her toes spread out while her claws dug into the earth to help propel her forward as she began to move to make her first attack. Her muscles tensed and her head, along with her tail, fell even with her spine just as she began to move, her hackles rising to protect the back of her neck at the last second.

She wasn't one to fight dirty, but she also felt the need to make her leader aware of where her new blind spots, for lack of a better term, in her defenses were. Libra came at her head on and didn't dodge one way or another till the last second. Her head tucked down over her throat and her knees bent as she aimed her attack low and leaned toward Sibelle's blind side. She kept her movements quick and light, hoping to land her attack before Sibelle had much time to react. She aimed to bite at the upper part of Siblle's foreleg on her blind side, wanting more to grab a hold of her leg than to do real damage to it. If she was successful, Libra would press her weight into the bite in an attempt to shove Sibelle off balance.
