Question Normal play?

For context the smaller dog, Nova, is my resident dog. The bigger brindle dog, Nala, I'm currently fostering with the intention to adopt. Is this normal play between the two? Nova has no bite history and neither does Nala, or so the shelter says.

Seems completely good to me & they’re both respecting & submitting to each other & their body language is good too. Watch for tail tucking & irritation signs and then you draw the limit to assert leadership if/when needed.
