Unravel
An answer to his challenge came swiftly. He heard the approach before he heard the words, the earthen male listening intently as paw steps drew closer. "I haven't brawled in a while," The voice began. "I could use a little warm-up." Dragon lightly smirked, but it quickly faded away. The voice belonged to a male he didn't know, an older male by the sound of it. He signaled to his companions that they wouldn't be joining him in this one. He wanted to test himself. Alone. One on one. "I agree, so let's get to it then, shall we?"
He listened carefully to his opponent's movements, trying to pinpoint where he was. Ears lightly twitched as the sounds around him seemed amplified. A result from all the time he had learned to use his hearing and other senses since he had lost his sight. He swiftly settled himself into a defensive stance, starting with his what remained of his ears pinning to his head. Head lowered over his throat, chin tucking to protect it. Shoulders rolled forward to protect the sides of his neck, as well as pulling his scruff forward to add a fatty layer of protection. Hackles rose along his spine, tail flagging out to align perfectly with his head and spine. His stance widened to hip and shoulder width apart to better his balance.
Once he was done settling his defenses, he waited a moment before deciding his next move. He couldn't see his opponent, but he assumed that the other male was well prepped in his defenses as well. With that thought in mind, Dragon decided it was time. His head was lowered, almost as if he were investigating the ground. Though with his sightless gaze, it was hard to tell what his intentions were. Suddenly and without warning, he launched himself in Xephyris' direction. Paws ate the distance as he sought to close the distance between them, coming head on towards the smaller male.
Dragon's shoulders jutted forward as he aimed to crash both the point of his shoulders and his whole chest into Xephyris' own chest (or whatever part he could manage to find since he wasn't entirely sure where he was hitting just yet, let alone the male's exact position). Simultaneously, his jaws would twist to the right as he aimed a bite to Xephyris' right ear, seeking to grip it and cause pain. As he did this, he lifted his left foreleg and aimed to wrap it over the smaller male's neck in an effort grip him close. His own hind legs spread a little more as he distributed his weight more evenly upon them.
