Put 'em Up

Shrike could feel his heart racing, a sense of excitement within him. At least for now he could pretend other things didn’t matter... Though he’d feel a deep sense of guilt for not finding Finch before this practice war later. Right now, however, his mind would be all on the task at hand. There was a spar to be done, and he would give nothing less than his very best for it. As Tinaro readied his defenses Shrike would do the same. Head would lower to align with the spine, chin being tipped to protect his throat. Shoulders were rolled forward, neck scrunched, and hackles raised. Tail would tuck beneath his body, eyes would narrow, and ears would tip back against his skull. His limbs were spread, knees bent, and claws were digging into the soil. Shrike was ready and he was certain Tinaro would not disappoint him. There was eight feet of distance between them, distance that Tinaro attempted to close swiftly. As he came forth, approaching Shrike head on, the smaller of the two males would ready himself. Shrike would attempt to step quickly to the left, throwing off where Tinaro’s attacks would land. Tinaro’s right shoulder, while it had been potentially crippling while aimed at Shrike’s throat, would now dig into the right center of Shrike’s forechest. Severe bruising would be the cost of impact. In addition to the sharp pain Shrike would have his breath knocked from him. The second part of the slam would hit as well, causing moderate bruising to his right shoulder. There was also the matter of Tinaro’s bite to deal with. Shrike would tilt his own head to his left in order to attempt getting his head away from the bite that was coming for his face. He could not avoid it completely, however, and Shrike would feel another burst of pain as Tinaro’s upper canine’s sliced the area before his right ear and his lower canine’s scraped his jawbone. Moderate lacerations were left in the wake of the other male’s attack, though he would not gain a hold. Now was the time for retaliation. Shrike would aim to dig his rear claws into the soil as he adjusted about seventy percent of his weight into his hind legs. He attempted to rear up and wrap his right foreleg around the left side of Tinaro’s neck across his shoulder. Shrike’s left foreleg would aim to land upon Tinaro’s right shoulder with the intent and attempt of digging his claws into the flesh of the taller male. He would also attempt to slam into the other with the attack with his chest, hopefully causing some bruising. In addition to this attack, Shrike would attempt to twist his head back towards his own right and snap his jaws down directly over Tinaro’s own muzzle. The upper jaw would potentially lay across the bridge of Tinaro’s muzzle in the middle whereas the bottom would potentially hook across the bottom to hopefully gain control of Tinaro’s head and prevent him any additional biting attacks. If the bite was successful then the result would have his head perpendicular with Tinaro’s with his gaze facing outward, rather than facing Tinaro directly.
