Bulls In The Bronx [Raid]
The male kept some of his defenses up naturally as the distance between himself and the female closed, for she too was on the move. His golden eyes remained narrowed to help protect them, ears pinned to his skull. His hackles were raised to make him look a bit bigger as well as help protect his body from bites. He kept his weight distributed across all four limbs in a slightly widened stance, shifting that weight into his front right leg as he launched his attack. His tail remained sticking out, his rudder, his balance as he worked on his attack.
The woman was no greenhorn though, that was for certain. Castiel, while expecting a counter to his attack thanks to his warning, did not expect one so expertly placed. Seeing as how she shifted he too leaned a bit more, this time to the left as she started moving to her own right, to try and sync up their attacks. The end result, supposedly, was the attempt that their shoulder bones ground together dead center with enough force to cause them both severe bruising. [Counter… to the counter?]
At least that displaced her second push, their chests bumped into each other with less force than intended, and due to it being more centered, the effect of impact wasn’t as great as it could have been. Cas let out a coughing noise but kept his attack with jaws coming. He ended up overshooting though, his jaws winding up on the left side of her head and clasping air with an audible click. Because of his own bit of an overshoot Castiel felt the woman’s teeth sink into his left cheek. There were definitely going to be some deep puncture wounds left behind, but Castiel wasn’t giving up yet.
Though it was again thanks to the fact he sought to sync up with her directly that caused the woman’s paw stomp to miss. If anything her paw was likely somewhere in between the middle of his front legs and closer to his left foreleg.
Now was the time to keep the fight rolling. Castiel aimed to pull his head forward and down a tad, jaws opening once more to attempt clamping down on the left side of her neck by hooking his bottom jaws towards the direction of her throat and upper jaws laying across facing the sky at a forty five degree angle. Even if he ended up deepening the wounds on his face in the process he had to get ahold of her somewhere, get her to release him.
Cas then aimed to throw all his weight into his back legs and push off the ground, claws biting the soil, to push his body directly into the woman’s own. Being a little taller here, his main goal was to push her back, maybe keep her from getting her breath. His right foreleg also came up, aiming to simultaneously come and slam his right forepaw onto the left one with claws coming down in an attempt to rake at the webbing between the toes, or at least catch her flesh on the way down to smash her toes with severe force. His weight had only one to go; forward, so he was hoping for the best!
