And the trumpets they go~

Oh it felt good to be back in the thick of battle, even if it was just a short spar like this. That rush of adrenaline, the sting of her opponent's teeth. She had missed it. Libra felt satisfaction as her teeth met Sibelle's leg, no matter if she hadn't been able to push Sibelle over like she had planned. It was simply a testament to how well her opponent had set up their defenses. Even while in the middle of her attack, Libra was sure to keep up her defenses so Sibelle couldn't catch her off guard. Her ears were pinned back against her skull, her eyes narrowed, lips pulled up in a snarl, and her shoulders rolled forward so that her scruff was bunched up around her neck. She also made sure to keep her tail and spine even, her paws evenly spaced under her, and her toes spread.
It proved to be a good thing for her to watch her defences since she soon felt Sibelle biting at her scruff. With her jaws currently clamped on Sibelle's upper left foreleg she wasn't able to see Sibelle's movement so was a bit surprised when Sibelle's teeth found her scruff. She was a little impressed by the accuracy of her bite given that it was on her blind side, but she also reminded herself that she had put herself in very close quarters with her opponent. It wasn't that unreasonable to think that Sibelle would be able to find her neck. She ignored the sting of the bite while Sibelle went on to press her weight into Libra's bite, stretching her jaw and putting her neck at an awkward angle so that she had no choice but to let go. When her jaws were empty once again she let her neck fall even with her spine once again and tilted her head so that it was protecting her throat.
In one movement she released Sibelle's leg and then pressed her weight forward in hopes that she could press her left shoulder into Sib's chest, using the slight bend in her knees to be able to push forward and still keep her balance. Her claws dug in to keep herself steady as she pushed her shoulder up, hoping that with Sibelle latched onto her scruff she would be able to hit her shoulder into Sibelle's throat and either cut off her breathing for a moment or be able to make her let go of Libra's scruff.
