Broken Boulder look the void in the eye and laugh

vilkas rolls his shoulder to rid himself of the smart as lily more or less bounces off of it and watches as she takes up a defensive position, accepting the change of the lesson without complaint. he's pleased. the eventual goal was to get to a point where they could actually spar with one another — that was the only way that a wolf would really learn the areas they needed to work on and where they were strongest; lessons worked for getting a loose feeling for those things. thus far, she seemed pretty good on the offensive and once she curbed her hesitation ( though she'd improved the second time around vilkas was quick to amend his inner thoughts ) she would quickly be able to hone her offensive tactics.

vilkas's gaze does a quick sweep but he does not spend time calculating his move. instead, he launches himself at her right side only to implore the tactic she had just used moments ago upon him and feigned to the left, aiming for her left front leg. the goal ( providing she does not dodge or defend herself ) is to grab it and knock her off balance. the goal of sparring was always to get your opponent down and force a submission from them so that the victor is recognized, though of course when applying that to a real fight the end result isn't often so merciful. but this is far from a real fight ( and not even actually a spar ) and the raptorial firebrand has no intentions of actually hurting lily.
