The way he had hit her had caused her to stumble back a little, she hadn't been expecting for him to come at her as he had. So she had to rethink things a little she supposed. However she waited to see what his next move would be so that she might be able to avoid what had previously happened. When he came at her with his jaws parted Leotie quickly thought about her options, she'd never had to think on her feet like this before or spar actually . She wanted to do well and not completely fail in front of her friend. It came to her mind almost by accident, just before Kerb reached her Leotie moved out of his way.
She wasn't sure what it was called but something has come to her, perhaps a memory from her puppyhood. She didn't know but she used that memory as she jumped on his back though she wasn't sure what it would accomplish. Something was better than nothing and since his sad happened to be there sticking up she grabbed at that with her teeth. She didn't know if she was actually sparing but she hoped Kerb could help her if she wasn't really sparing.
