Arkay quickly closed the distance between the two of them, he'd feel himself collide with the other wolf. What Arkay hadn't been ready for was how much it would hurt. With his adrenaline pumping and focus on fighting it was much less than he'd expected. Of course this was also in the moment, after everything was all said and done he'd be in much more pain. Everything happened really fast, his chest would collide with Feli's shoulder and he'd find his arms around his cousin's neck. Arkay felt the soreness already, but the collision was not enough to cause bruising. Both Felicien's top and bottom jowls would seek purchase on the bottom part of Arkay's jaw, causing both muzzles to miss their mark.
The young Destruction felt kind of silly, but wouldn't be able to think on it as Feli started shoving forward. Arkay would feel himself falling backwards and had to think quick. As he fell backward onto his left side the young boy would seek to disrupt Feli's balance as well. Using his already slipping hind feet the Destruction would kick out at Feli's front ankles and legs. With Feli's weight focused on his hind end Arkay wished to knock his front legs from underneath him. Arkay would also seek to keep hold of his cousin's neck. He'd attempt to pull his opponent to the ground with his weight and the momentum of falling. Again the boy would seek to wrap his jaws around his opponent's face. Seeking to take control of Feli's muzzle Arkay's top jaw would aim for the top middle of Feli's muzzle while his lower jaw sought to wrap around the bottom middle of Feli's lower jaw. He'd want to use this hold to continue in his endeavor of pulling Feli's front body to the earth with him.
Of course this didn't come with out a price. Feli's shoulder slam had brought him to the ground, chest had pushed against his arm pit, lessening the bruising from what it would have been if his shoulder point had hit. Still there was pain there and all along his left side. He'd have slight bruising along his left side and on most of his chest. With more of a collection on his hip bone and shoulder. That wouldn't stop him from keeping his defenses. Ears would remain lowered to his skull, his eyes were narrowed and even with his bite he'd have his chin close to his neck. He'd roll up his shoulders and keep his neck scrunched. His tail was brought up between his legs and close to his body to protect his soft underbelly. He'd keep his legs bent and toes spread, ready to stop any incoming attacks to his underside. His hackles were raised and he'd keep his body weight centered on his torso so he could roll away from otherwise unavoidable attacks.
