Redsand Canyon if you're shaking from head to toe

nyra didn't hesitate to take the opportunity. but even with a wolf the size of a bear charging them, it was better to take a moment to readjust than to go straight back into a fight.

they brushed away the ache. nyra came to them, head lowered, and renard could only just drop far enough that the crown of her head connected heavily with the join of their neck and shoulder with a crunch that didn't do much for the sting in their neck. that would bruise. their hind legs skidded in the sand as she pushed them back.

praimfaya had charged them, in a spar weeks ago, and they had ducked under her advance and locked their teeth around the nearest limb to send her to the ground. hadn't had quite the same luck avoiding the worst of the charge here, but it'd worked the first time. now they'd try to use nyra's weight against her just the same, teeth snapping for her leg as they lunged forward.
