ooc: WOW I SUCK Thank you for being so patient <3 As Domari shifted away from her, she felt her shoulder just barely graze his as she passed him so obviously that attack didn't work out quite as planned. She tried to make up for it by reaching more with her neck so that she could still land that nip at his side. Even if it wasn't a full blown, damaging attack it was still something and she was proud of it. She had slowed down when her shoulder brushed his and without realizing it stopping there had left her completely within his reach. Before she noticed what was happening, she caught his movement out of the corner of her eye and felt his forelegs around her neck. She had a brief moment of panic and she wasn't sure what to do so she did the only thing she could think of. She pulled back as quickly as she could in an attempt to slip out from under the foreleg that was draped over the back of her neck. She made herself as small as possible, pulling her head back and scrunching her neck down toward her shoulders and bending her legs to drop down closer to the ground. She slipped away from the hold on her neck, but she didn't completely escape his jaws. She felt his teeth scrape against the base of her skull, just missing the scruff that he was aiming for. The sting told her that she would have some moderate scratches left behind, but she was fine with that. You couldn't even really tell through her vibrant red fur on her head anyway. She took a couple of quick steps back and took a brief second to regroup and reset her defenses. She kept a slight bend in her legs and spread her toes with her claws digging into the soil. Her shoulders remained rolled forward while her neck leveled back out to lay flat with her spine and her scruff stayed bunched up to protect it. Her tail was level with her spine to help with her balance whenever she started her next attack. She also kept her eyes squinted and her ears folded back against her head. Her lips pulled back in a snarl as she moved back toward him for her next attack. Now that she was in it she was beginning to wonder why she had waited so long to really try fighting. It was a challenge and it was really fun. Since she was already situated closer to the ground, she took advantage of this lower position to reach forward with her jaws open in hopes of grabbing his right foreleg. She didn't want to bite down hard necessarily, she just wanted to hold his leg between her teeth so that she could try to pull that leg and knock him off balance. She wanted to jerk his leg out from under him. Adore tried to use that same forward motion to headbutt him in the side, right behind his foreleg, with the hopes that combined with her first move might make him fall over completely.
