[1v1] Mountains and Molehills (Jove/Herryk)

[bipolar bee]

Herryk was slowly coming to realize that even the smallest opponent could be the fiercest. Why he'd doubted Jove's prowess in battle was obvious -- his friend was small in his student form, and fluffy. Both of these things brought out a protective instinct in Herryk that he had trouble tamping down.

It wasn't until this fight when Jove showed Herryk his natural form, when Jove's sharp needly teeth bit into his flesh, that Herryk quickly realized he'd underestimated his friend. And this spar? It was showing Herryk that Jove was capable of looking after himself should he ever need to.

With that thought in mind, Herryk gave the pup an open-handed swat to the top of the pup's head. Even though Jove was proving himself to be a formidable opponent, Herryk could not bring himself to wail on the pup with fisted hands.

Jove let out a strangled yelp as he was swatted, but he retaliated with a growl and snapped at Herryk's hand. After his fight with Roch, the little pup had tried to avoid hands as easily damageable things, but this time it was the easiest thing to grab. And a hand in his mouth was a hand that couldn't smack him on the head.

Herryk drew back his hand when Jove nipped at his fingers, shaking it as if doing so would assuage the pain that the little n** had caused.

Herryk dropped into a crouch and swung his foot out at the ghostpup, connecting with a semi-solid hit. He grunted when his foot collided before rolling back to his feet, eyes narrowed as he waited for Jove's next move.

Jove let out a wheezing bark as he was struck on the side by the enormous foot. Even in his larger form, Herryk was still more monster than undead! But it was good to have friends who were so giant, friends who could squish him underfoot without so much as stumbling.

The pup bared his teeth in a grin and leaped forward to attack Herryk's leg from a more indirect angle. If he could fight against this strength now, eventually he might be strong enough to be the one doing the protecting.

Despite the fact that Herryk had been initially apprehensive about fighting with Jove, it was becoming clearer that Jove was more than capable of taking care of himself. It made Herryk fell a little less horrible about sparring with the fluff pup.

Plus, his teeth were really sharp.

Lifting a foot, Herryk directed a glancing kick towards Jove's side.

Jove merely grunted, and turned to sink his sharp teeth into the offending foot. He had grown into the sort of kid who would give as good as he got, even if he lost. Even though his track record sparring with his friends wasn't bad, he was too little to have escaped all the bullying highschool had to offer.
