She wasn’t sure what to make of Theory’s announcement about the coming raid, but she did know that she was suddenly excited to spar against Corvus. The two of them had raced, and had a lot of fun together. The man had also witnessed her at her lowest point after losing her dearest nephews. Twig looked to Corvus for support, friendship, and now maybe something more. Her heart skipped a beat excitedly as she gave him a genuine smile, but remembered the third in the group. 

Twig looked to the almost yearling, he was a tall thing with little expression on his young face except perhaps trepidation. She decided to focus on the boy first. ”Come on Void!” Maybe if she could help this young Abavenite the actions would soothe her guilt over her nephew’s disappearance. Twig sprang towards the gangly lad, her movements quick as she aimed to race around him and nip lightly at his striped rump.

Void listened to what his cousin Theory had to say, most of it he didn’t quite comprehend, but he was eager to go ahead with the fight either way. Even though he still felt like a beginner to the way of tooth and claw. He’d seen his uncle Rhyme fight a long time ago, and he was eager to show off that he was doing the same. Quietly training in the background as Abaven recovered from loss and tragedy after loss and tragedy.

His serious features and silent thoughts were interrupted at the sound of his name on the she wolf’s tongue. Void didn’t really know Twig very well, but she was a warrior and that gave him respect towards her. Corvus was the same way. Though he was already so much taller than Twig he could hardly keep a bead on her as she skirted around him and managed to nip him on the rear.

Donning the ridiculous helmet that he'd won at the firefly festival, which seemed like so long ago now, Corvus headed toward the two he was fighting. He'd been put up against Twig and Void. He didn't know Void terribly well, but he wouldn't go too hard on the young boy... and likewise, while the thought of wrestling Twig settled quite well with him, the possibility of hurting her did not. But they did need to prepare, and so Corvus reminded himself this wasn't just a romp in the sand - they were supposed to be practicing, even if he wanted to hold back quite a bit.

He watched with amusement as Twig raced after Void, nipping at his hocks. It wasn't surprising that Twig managed to keep up easily with the youngster, though Corvus had taken to running lately after his little beach run with Twig, and he was eager to show her what he'd been working on. Kicking off hard through the plains after her, he focused on Twig, aiming to tackle her from the side and away from Void. Though this left him open to an attack by Void, there wasn't much he could do as he charged Twig's side other than brace himself - and if she toppled over he was surely going down with her.

Twig used her quickness to her advantage when it came to fighting. The girl had always been fast with fleet feet and even against the young Void she could manage to keep up with him. She was only slightly surprised when Corvus, her once running partner, was suddenly upon the pair of them. Unintentionally she squealed as his arms were suddenly around her and the two of them were careening towards the ground.

The two of them would be on the ground and Twig switched her tactics from agility to more akin to a kitten. She kicked her feet out to drive the wind from the bigger wolf, though he was taking it easy Corvus still had quite the weight and height advantage on the small Memoire. She aimed to wrap her arms around his neck and hold tight as her back legs kicked at his belly.

When Void and Deso had play sparred the two of them tried to listen to their instincts, the young Destruction did that now and felt nothing but uncertainty as her turned around to catch Twig and Corvus heading to the ground. He hesitated for far too long, but he still made the attempt to get back into the fray. Dark ears were folded to his skull as he revealed his teeth and made an attempt to attack again.

Void aimed to stomp on Twig’s long tail with one massive rear paw. At the same time he’d open his dark jaws to seek purchase on Corvus’s tail. Hopefully it would be enough of a diversion for the both of them. The pup obviously needed to experience a bit more training or age before he was for reals fighting anyone.

Luckily Corvus was able to catch up to her, despite her speed - though if she'd had a lot longer to get going he had no doubt she'd outrun him entirely. He tried not to hold back too much as he tackled her, knowing that practicing for the upcoming raids was important, even if the thought of hurting Twig in any serious way wasn't something that interested him. He braced for the impact, trying to land softly on her as they went down together. Almost instantly she started kicking her hint legs up at him, while maintaining a hold on his neck. Her move didn't leave much room for him to strike back, knowing he could quite easily crush her... but then again maybe not.

As he leaned toward her, trying to snap his jaws lightly to grab her own muzzle in a firm hold, she kicked hard at his stomach and very nearly knocked the wind out of him. Trying to grab at her own muzzle didn't leave much opportunity for him to strike at void, who grabbed hold of his tail. A low growl fell from his lips, more playful than anything, as he tried to wheel his hindquarters around and away from the younger male.
