i'm BULLETPROOF [spar]

Was it normal to look so happy about a spar? Kamala felt almost . . . intimidated, simply because Luana seemed entirely unworried. The joyous female that she was to spar seemed to be confident--no, that wasn't right. More . . . unperturbed. There. That fit better. She simply didn't seem to care in the least about the fact that they were about to be fighting. Well, mock fighting, but still. The point was the same.



But Luana's words were contagiously happy. "Very well, Luana." Kamala responded with a wag of her tail, "Though I would like to ask the same of you. Perhaps just Kamala would do." With that, Kamala fell silent, crouching down slightly and trying to balance properly as Luana dashed off. When Luana turned to zig and zag across the field once more, Kamala found her tail extending out behind her (for balance, some part of her mind reminded her), and her ears flattening against her skull as Kamala crouched slightly, green gaze tracing Luana's running form. Her every attempt to predict Luana's next turn was thrown on its head; the other female was not following any sort of pattern.



It was only when Luana launched herself at Kamala that Kamala really figured out what Luana was going for. A low growl rumbled in Kamala's chest (nothing particularly intimidating, of course) as the female crouched down slightly, steeling herself for the force of the other colliding with her. A few short moments later, the hit came, slamming into her left shoulder and Kamala felt Luana's forelimbs wrap around her neck. Kamala stumbled heavily, front legs buckling as she stumbled to the left, paws sliding slightly across the ground. Her balance had not been as good as she had thought it had been. That would be something she would improve later.



When Kamala finally found her balanace again, she was standing awkwardly, with her front legs all but useless and Luana's legs wrapped around her neck, Kamala's next actions were fairly limited. She would have felt bad if she injured the other majorly, despite what Luana had said about not going easy on her, so Kamala twisted slightly in Luana's grip, aiming to snap her fangs in the direction of Luana's face. She did not actually intend for the attack to land. Instead, it was aimed to distract Luana just enough that Kamala could make her next move.



This time, Kamala shifted her weight and would attempt to lunge to her feet and get her paws back under her so that she would not be entirely at Luana's mercy. Hopefully, she would manage to escape Luana's grip. If not, Kamala probably would not manage to get to her paws again, and her actions left her body vulnerable as she focused on escaping Luana's grip.



round 1/4

Injuries: potential bruising in the shoulder where Luana collided with it

Attacks: Feigned snap in Luana's direction that is mainly an attempt to distract Luana while Kamala tries to get her feet back under her again.

Defenses: For the moment, minimal, as most of Kamala's attention is focused on escaping Luana's grip. Her tail is extended behind her (which is fairly useless right now), her ears are pinned against her head and that is it. She is pretty vulnerable right now.
