Spectral Woods Face Forward

OOC Thanks a bunch for this. I think I just got myself addicted to spar threads ^v^

Anthem felt fur and flesh in his mouth and he tried to nip and then release it as fast as he could. He didn't want to be stuck in this position it left the top of his neck and shoulder area open. A good spot to get a hold and not let go until your opponent was to tired to fight back. Before he could even begin to move to attack again she had his muzzle in her jaws. Sharp teeth pressed over his nasal canal and pinched at his lips. A warning growl rumbled in his throat but then it faded away. This match was over he was getting to tired to keep it up and she had a hold on him that would restrain him quite efficiently. Letting himself go limp he relaxed. She had won and he was running out of energy to keep this spar going. A submissive whine escaped his jaws. He wanted her to know that he was done but didn't want to try speaking in case her jaws clenched at the movement.

His crouch turned into a laying position. The game had been fun while it had lasted and he felt almost happy. The adrenaline in him was fading and the bruises that he had gained during the match were twinging with pain. Even with that his eyes gleamed with the happy look of someone who had just done their favorite sport or hobby and was content. He was content the fight had been a good one and his opponent was one he would have to find again for a rematch.

Yeah, I like them too!! I like your table by the way ^^

Speech

Seraphina felt her opponents body go limp and when he let a submissive whine drift past his lips, she quickly released her hold. Taking a few steps back to give him some room to recover and get back to his paws, Seraphina smiled jubilantly."That was great!" She exclaimed in a tone more relaxed than her usual one."I've been so wrapped up in the pressure of sparring for rank, that I forgot how good it feels to to do it just for fun." She explained, brown eyes warmer than usual. She thought back to her fight against Aestyn and wondered briefly how this male would do against her. Confidence restored, Phina wondered if maybe she had not been able to beat Aestyn because her mind had been preoccupied with the pressure of earning rank and impressing Phineas. Maybe, she just need to think of the rank challenge as a friendly spar in order to take some of the pressure off.

With new hopes of re-challenging her rival and hopefully getting a better outcome, Seraphina began licking her fur excitedly. She couldn't stand to have her fur out of place, even after a fight, and straightening it was one of the first things she usually did. Looking back up to her opponent, hopefully a new friend, she asked,"You are a good fighter Anthem and I hope we can have a rematch one day. I do not smell any pack scent on you. If you are a loner, you are welcome to come to our borders and speak to the Leader about joining our pack. Im sure your fighting skills would be welcome." Seraphina's cheerful smile remained on her lips, as she waited for the grey wolf's answer. If he chose to join she would be ecstatic to have a new male join the pack and even out the gender ratio a bit more. If he did not, well if that was the case she had made a new friend and hopefully she would see him again. Either way, Seraphina's spirits were soaring and it would be hard to dampen her mood now.

OOC Thank you and you may not know it but it's actually three tables one on top of the other :P

At his submission she moved away and began to talk excitedly. Anthem let out a light laugh one of the few he every had. Getting his feet under him the dark male stretched a smile on his face tail swinging loosely behind him. You just need to find the right partner that's all. He told her eyes alight. A yawn slipped past his muzzle,pink tongue curling, he was ready for a little nap His blue eyes glanced around to the disturbed ground around them. They sure had made the area less pristine that it had been when they had first met. His attention went back to Seraphina as she began to groom herself and his ears twitched as he watched. He didn't bother to clean up his coat just yet.

A smile spread on his face as she spoke again. Of course we need a rematch but first I need to train some more. Her invitation surprised him a little as he shook his head. I still have wander lust that I need to work out of my limbs, but I will keep your invitation in mind should I decide to settle down. He didn't know if he would ever settle down but one thing he knew for certain was that this female before him had earned his respect and friendship. Would you like me to do something for you since you won? It was his way of asking if she wanted a prize for winning. He was offering to do something for her and he would try to fulfill her request as best as he could.

Speech

Seraphina chuckled as Anthem's words reached her ears. She was pleased to see that he wasn't the type to be easily discouraged and planned on training more before their rematch. She truly would be honored to have him as a pack mate but she understood his desire to see more of the world. She could respect that as well. She just hoped to see him again, one day.

She was caught off guard by his offer to do something for her. Like a prize?, she thought to herself curiously. No one had ever offered her a prize for winning a fight before. It was curious indeed and she couldn't, off the tope of her head, think of anything she would want. To count him as a friend was more than enough for her. Her intelligent brown eyes were focused as she tried to think of something he could give her, afraid that refusing his offer might be rude.

Her dark brown eyebrows shut up and her eyes widened marginally as an idea came to her, a very unexpected idea."Well, there is something. If you plan on wandering then you might run into my cousin Flyn. He left our home less than a day before I did, but I never ran into him. If you see him..." Phina paused as she realized she wasn't quite sure what she wanted Anthem to do if he saw Flyn."If you see him, tell him I said Thanks. He'll know what for." A smile spread across her maw as she stood for a moment, marveling at her own words. Thank Flyn? That seemed ridiculous. He was suspected of murder, for the light of the Moon! But Phina's words had been true to her heart. As crazy as it sounded, she was grateful to Flyn for doing the one thing she had been too scared to even consider doing. He had opened a door for her that she never would have opened on her own."Well, I better get back to my pack duties. I hope I see you again Anthem." Phina dipped her head respectfully before she turned and headed back towards her home, a million times happier than when she had left.

OOC TEXT

Anthem watched with interest as she seemed surprised about his offer. He likely would have been as well if they positions were traded. He did want to do something for her though. She had offered him a challenge and had beat him. Now he had something that he could work towards and he had someone in the area he knew would be up for a spar every once in a while. He definitely would be coming back to the area in search of her but as he said he needed to train more before he came back.

Patiently he watched as Seraphina's concentrated on coming up with something that he could do for her. It was amusing to him as he waited. She seemed to think that if she refused that he would be offended but that wasn't true. He wouldn't force her to accept his offer but if she had something she wanted him to do he would do it as well. It didn't really matter the choice was hers and she finally spoke. Anthem listened curiously before nodding. I will make sure that your message gets to him. He told her and then just like that she said her goodbye and walked away.

The dark boy watched and he smiled to himself before padding away himself. He get her message to this Flyn if he saw the male but for now he would find himself a good place to take a nap and from there he would head towards the mountains that loomed in the sky and see what lay beyond them.
