we're not all the same

As her head dived downward the man would pull a strange maneuver flipping onto his back and then back onto his feet.  She was surprised enough to watch the motion rather than diving in for his underbelly, carefully checking her defenses.  Her skull aligned with her spine, her chin tucked, neck scrunched back and shoulders rolled forward.  Hackles stood on end her toes splayed wide, claws tearing into the earth as her jaws parted, the flesh of her brow bunching as her eyes narrowed and her ears pinned to her head.  If he thought he could catch her completely unaware he was a greater fool than he realized.

As he came at her again her previous attacks connected her left forelimb hitting the back of his neck at the base and slipping quickly back down to the ground having not been able to wrap around it like she'd wanted, her greater weight immediately spreading evenly across the three limbs, tail spreading out as a rudder and her abdomen tensing. Her right forepaw managed to wrap around his left elbow.  Fate would charge forward, the full of his chest slamming into the lower portion of her chest where moderate bruising was sure to occur but her three-grounded limbs and superior weight  kept her upright. The grip on his left elbow helped as well.  As she had not been flipped his fangs were a good ways away from her hind paws and he would fail to bite into one and she grinned violently.  It was her turn now.  Birna's powerful back legs uncoiled rapidly as her right forepaw released his elbow, seeking the ground so that she could propel herself with all four limbs, he wasn't going to get away from her this time.  

The bear woman charged forward, her body shifting lower and just slightly to her own left as she sought to lance the front of  her right shoulder forward into the grove where Fate's left shoulder met his left sided chest.  She hoped not only to sprain the limb but to topple the man as he was already raised.  At the exact same time she launched her shoulder forward her head darted forward as well, ivory fangs gleaming as  her head tilted to her own left, jaws seeking the mans throat, right below his lower jaw.  Her upper fangs seeking to pierce the flesh just under his right-sided jaw, the lower fangs seeking to pierce the flesh just under his left-sided jaw.  She wanted a powerful grip from which she could choke this fool and end this fight.
