Cast off the crutch

Xephyris listened with interest as the other male stated that he had also come here to test himself. It was a good thing to know that this man before him was also ambitious and determined. The last words he said caused Xeph's brows to raise - so, Thanatos might consider joining him? Well, he would have to make sure this went well, then. "It's good to meet someone who's also ambitious," he commented, tail swishing, "I'll try to impress you." A small chuckle passed his lips as he began to shift himself into a battle-ready position. "If you don't mind, I'll make the first move," he said, beginning to set his defenses. He pulled back his ears to protect them, as his paws shifted to an equal distance apart, his legs bending at the knees and elbows to lower his center of gravity. The toes of his large paws spread for extra balance, while his nails dug into the packed down earth of the battlefield. His tail flagged out behind him, aligned with his spine, while his head lowered to align with his spine as well, chin tucking to guard his throat. He rolled his shoulders forward, hackles rising and the skin of his scruff bunching up to protect his neck. Silver eyes narrowed, and muzzle wrinkled up in a snarl to expose his fangs.

Setting into action, Xephyris attempted to charge toward Thanatos, hoping to close the distance between them. Keeping low, he tried to dart to his right and then, shifting his weight to his hind legs, attempted to thrust himself toward Thany, hoping to slam the front of his left shoulder blade toward the left side of Thany's ribcage, directly behind the left shoulder where the ribcage and shoulder met, hoping to leave a moderate bruise. Then he turned his head and neck to his left, parting his jaws as he attempted to land a bite in the middle of Thany's side, several inches behind where the shoulder met with the ribcage, hoping to leave mild punctures and gain a firm grip. Now, how would his opponent react?
