Life in the fast lane

Dómari held his defenses and nodded as Adore moved to set hers. He smiled. "Good!" She decided she wanted to go first and her tensed, waiting for the attack. Adore kicked off and raced toward him and he resisted the urge to nod in response. She was moving rapidly and already seemed to know to use her speed against him. That was good, she was thinking about what would give her the best advantage. Adore shifted to her left to line up their right shoulders but Dómari would quickly step to his left so that her right shoulder would ultimately miss it's target and instead just graze the outside of his lower right shoulder. He wasn't quite as lucky at avoiding her jaws though as her neck had a greater reach. Her fangs would just nip his right side, just behind his right foreleg.

While she had the advantage of speed he had the advantage of weight and tried to use that to his advantage. Dómari shifted his weight evenly to his back legs as his tail splayed out for balance, his back claws biting into the earth as he reared up and twisted his upper body to his right with the intent of wrapping his arms around Adore's neck. He sought to wrap his right foreleg under the base of her neck near her chest while he sought to throw his left forearm over the top of her neck, just in front of her shoulders with most of it wrapping around the right side. He hoped to use his weight to push her down. Simultaneously his jaws shot forward seeking to grab hold of her scruff where her head met her neck. He didn't intend to draw blood but merely wanted to get a grip from which he could control the movement of her head. If he succeeded he wanted to know how she would handle that situation. He guessed from her nip she didn't want there to be to much significant injury in this and he tried to keep that in mind. He and his siblings had always played rough. Keeping his ears pinned tightly to his head he tensed his abdomen to help his balance, his hackles still raised.
