Can't keep my hands to myself

ooc: I'm sorry it took soooooo long D: He surprised her with his movements as he shuffled to keep his body parallel with hers. That was fine and almost preferable to her, but every time she had fought a wolf as large as him in the past they had tried to overpower her with their size and weight. It was refreshing in a way to see that he had more finesse than that. Of course that only encouraged her to push herself harder to keep up with his movements. She followed along in this dance that they had created, feeling the edge of her right shoulder connect with the lower portion of his left shoulder. She could tell that she would have some moderate bruising there as well when it was all said and done, but that was par for the course with these things. With his back legs shuffling to his right, his side wasn't as much of a target as it had been. He moved just far enough out of range for her bite to only leave her with a small clump of fur in her teeth, her teeth only barely brushing his skin. She readjusted her paws as she moved to keep them and equal distance apart under her to keep her stance firm and steady. Her toes remained spread and her nails dug into the soil to retain good traction. She kept her head and neck as level with her spine as she could and kept her tail tucked under her out of the way. Her shoulders were rolled forward and the thick skin of her scruff stayed scrunched around her neck. She kept her ears pinned to her skull, her eyes narrowed, and her lips pulled back in a snarl. With her attempted bite finished she quickly tucked her head back down over her throat. Instead of trying to fight against his leg when she felt his leg pulling at her right foreleg, she quickly shifted her weight to her hind legs and her left foreleg, lifting her right foreleg out of the way of his leg. His shoulder shoved into her right shoulder and she wobbled a bit from his shove since she had herself perched on three legs. She side stepped to her left to catch herself, quickly putting all four paws back onto the ground in the even, measured stance she had set up before to maintain her defenses. When she glanced back toward him she saw his jaws reaching for the upper portion of her back, but her sidestep from his shove made his reach not quite reach its mark, his teeth instead scraping the upper portion of her right side, just behind her shoulder, right around the top of her rib cage. His bite left behind some moderate lacerations, making her grit her teeth from the flash of stinging pain and the trickle of blood that began to stain her white fur. Acting quickly, she moved in hopes of taking advantage of his neck being open in his reach for her back. She turned her head to her right with a growl and opened her jaws to attempt to reach for the lower portion of the right side of his neck, near where his neck and shoulder met. She felt like it was only fair to trade blow for blow. She wanted to get a quick bite to his neck to leave similar moderate lacerations on his neck, like the ones he had left on her side. She took a step toward him as she did so to make it a bit easier to reach him. Since she already had her paw raised from her step, she attempted to slam her right paw down into the toes of his right forepaw. She wanted to bruise his toes to make it harder for him to move and possibly make it harder for him to put his full weight on it and throw off his balance.
