Blacktail Deer Plateau Battle of the bruh

tagging for reference! also, plz excuse angsty teenage daunt, lmao. first roll is your's chey!

dauntless’ ears perk as the call for a sparring partner rises through the air of the plateau. he’d been spending time with @Lavender where the pack convenes as it was a particularly cold day and he knows that his white, red and lilac merle sister is easily chilled; but it was sunny that had sent up the call which caused a persistent itch to accept the challenge of a spar. he liked sunny immediately the first time he’d met him — because realizing he wasn’t the only boy besides grayday was always a boon — but a teenage dauntless, who is in that stage of trying to figure out where he fits in the hierarchy of his siblings, flipping flopping between assertive commander and obedient and loyal protector and with the recent noticing of girls not related to him in new ( and exciting ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) ways brings to attention that sunny is the cool older brother and this leaves dauntless struggling with the hormonal realization that cool, big brother is competition. dauntless presses his nose to lavender’s cheek before he heads towards sunny’s position.

dauntless’ head bows as he catches first sight of his burly brother, the smoky grey pelage standing out in contrast against the ivory of snowfall and the deep browns and greens of nearby foliage and winter flora. dauntless’ gaze, more brown today than it is green, zeroes in on sunny and he lets out a soft chuff that says: challenge accepted. it’s a friendly spar, dauntless knows this, but as he does not expect sunny to take it easy on him and neither will dauntless hold back. his tail raises over his back and gives a wag of invitation for his elder brother to initiate the spar.
