Third times the charm

He was polite enough. Chrysanthe watched him carefully, listening to his words and checking over and over for any sort of hint that he was lying to her. If he was, she couldn't tell - and he truly didn't have it in him to try and murder someone. This spar shouldn't do anything but help her gain some skill and blow off some steam. The young lupine needed that more than anything. She watched him atop his rock, her defenses shifting into place as she carefully evaluated both his first move and her retaliation. Her blue eyes were cut into slits, narrowed at the brute positioned above her, and her ears were pinned to her skull. The girl's shoulders were rolled to aide in protecting her neck, and her head was lowered to protect her throat.


As he came at her, she leaped to her right side, her body positioned in an open arch toward him, but not too far away from him. She was more a close quarters fighter than one that could weave in and out of fighting stances. His snapping jaws caught hold of fur and skin along her upper neck near her left shoulder, but she barely winced at the pressure. This much at least, she expected from a fight. Her jaws were open as she silently snarled, her muzzle crinkled over her nose and teeth being what was keeping the brute from attacking her throat. The princess had all but fallen into a fighting mentality, focused on the battle ahead - everything else could and would wait. It was easier now to do so, than it had been when she first started training herself. Her tail was raised evenly behind her, to balance her, and in a slight display of dominance. She was growing more confident as she grew older, stronger, and it was a shame she couldn't tackle all of the problems life threw at her with a good old fashioned throw down. At least then, even if she lost, she would have been given a fighting chance to make things right.


Her first attack would be to try and trip him up, and she aimed somewhat low, her open jaws aiming to close around the middle of the leg he was trying to stabilize himself with. At the same time she pushed forward, she would attempt to slam her right shoulder into his face or chest, both in an attempt to protect him from going for the back of her neck.
