Bring it on!

Bass jumped as her reply came from very close by, and he turned to her with slightly narrowed eyes. Oh dear, he wasn't a very good tracker if he hadn't noticed her scent there. Blaming it on his excitement and energy, he just chuckled at her words. She was calling herself fat and out of shape, causing his golden eyes to roll. "Women, I swear. You call yourself fat after eating one rabbit. You have given birth twice and look as good as always." He said, scoffing at her softly. A brow rose at her though when she turned down the first move, a mistake really. Soon enough he was grinning, his eyes staying narrowed as he sharply nodded his head. Sure, biting her first would make her angry, yes? Chuckling to himself he set the rest of his defenses with ease, ears pulling back towards his skull as his head lowered to align with his spine, chin tipping towards his chest. Pale tail rose to align with his spine as well, leaving him as straight as an arrow as his shoulders rolled forward. Legs were set an equal distance apart, weight balanced across all four limbs as he bent slightly at the knee. Toes spread, digging into the earth for added grip. Motif had left about three feet between the two of them, although it certainly would not be there for long.

Quickly Bass broke into a sprint, side stepping to his own right to hopefully align his left shoulder with the center of Motif's chest. As he got closer, Bass aimed to slam the front of his left shoulder into the direct center of his sisters chest, hoping to bruise her if not knock the wind completely out of her lungs. At the same time his head moved towards his own right as well, jaws parting as he aimed to sink his teeth into the left side of Motif's neck, his top jaws aimed for just an inch below her ear while his lower jaws sought the middle of her outer neck. Bass was hoping to bite down hard enough to achieve a grip, but not so firm as to do serious damage. This was just a spar after all, and he didn't want to hurt Motif too badly. In a final move Bass shifted his weight to his right side, picking up his left front leg and aiming to scoop it behind Motif's front right leg, hoping to hook it right around her right ankle. In one fluid motion he tried to pull his own leg back towards his chest, hoping to take Motif's leg out from under her. A predictable set of moves, yes, but it was a good warm up for the both of them. Anything more complex and they just might lose themselves.
