Kreft would sidestep her initial attack, though wasn't quite as quick at avoiding her bite. The placement of the bite was a little out from where originally intended, striking over the bone rather than the fleshier section she had originally hoped for. There would be no hopes of gripping there and she swiftly pulled her head away.
Her defences remained in place, paws widened weight distributed evenly between her four paws and claws splayed lightly gripping the earth. Knees were flexed, her stance and centre of gravity kept low. Tail and head flicked into alignment with her spine, shoulders rolling forwards and her hackles still on end. Her chin remained dipped, ears pinned back against her skull, eyes narrowed and lips curling into that snarl again, the skin around her features wrinkling for further protection.
His paw stomp was a waste of a move she felt, his left leg stretching awkwardly across her body to try and reach the paw furthest away from him. Perhaps without that initial sidestep he would have succeeded in reaching her paw but now it fell short, hitting the ground a few inches away from it's target, meaning that Talvi's paws remained unharmed.
Her head, still low would have been an easily reached and yet he jumped into his attack like an excitable child. Talvi attempted to pull her head back out of his reach, though she did fail to completely succeed in that aim, Kreft's teeth grazing over her muzzle instead, leaving behind a small, shallow cut about an inch from her nose.
Readjusting her weight mostly to her back legs now, Talvi aimed to lift her front paws from the ground, raising up to try and wrap her front legs around either side of Kreft's neck in hopes of limiting his movement, unsettling his own balance and making his further attacks a little more difficult. Her head would then twist, right side tipping towards the ground as she sought to bite upon the upper, left side of Kreft's neck. A relatively light attack again, not one that leave serious damage behind though she would have gripped to rip and deepen the bite in a serious fight and hoped to rest there for a moment to symbolise that fact.
