Just a little rusty
His charge had landed, though judging by the impact of where his left shoulder hit, it was safe to assume she had decided to move positions and his attempt at slamming into her completely had somewhat failed. A moderate bruise blossomed on his left shoulder, but he ignored the pain. Ears swiveled to listen to his surroundings and his opponents movements to try and determine her movements. She was no longer in front of him since his attempt at trying to grab her paw failed, and he felt nothing in the general space.
His teeth did manage to find a mark. Not the hold or grip he wanted, but he felt his teeth cut skin and was satisfied with that at least. With their new positions, Dragon suddenly felt Caelum's shoulder dig into the left side of his body right behind his own left elbow. A moderate bruise formed there as well, and here he moved quickly. Replanting his paw to the ground, he shifted his weight to his hind legs, pivoting to his left, he sought to face her own left side. The earthen male spread his hind legs to hip width apart just before he sought to raise his front half. Forelegs sought to wrap around her neck with his left foreleg aiming to wrap beneath her neck just below her jaw line and right foreleg sought to wrap over her shoulders. He aimed to hug her close to his chest, hoping this would help his chances of winning. He knew he gambled by trying to fight blind, but he was determined to keep at it.
Due to his attempted movements, Caelum's bite landed further down his body. Instead of grabbing where she originally intended, she ended up biting his left side behind his foreleg where the rib cage began. Moderate lacerations would be the result, and Dragon winced at the pain. Without waiting to see what else she might do, he tucked his head in towards his neck and aimed to bite the top of her head right between her ears. Top fangs sought the far side (towards her right ear) while bottom fangs aimed to cut the side closest to him (towards her left ear). As he did this, he strove to shove his chest into the left side of her neck, seeking to push her away from him (and possibly strain her neck).
All the while he kept his defenses in place. Ears pinned to his head, tail aligned with his spine. Hackles remained bristled along his spine, shoulders rolled forward and toes spread over the earth while claws dug into it for traction.
Dragon vs Caelum for Spar |
Dragon never goes anywhere without his Dragon armor, assume he is always wearing it unless otherwise mentioned! He also has a pair of seeing eye jaguars, assume they're always present unless otherwise mentioned.
