Gone In An Instant

Perhaps he should have been more hardened to harming his opponent, but seeing as his opponent was his son, Malleus couldn't help but recoil instinctively when his teeth made contact with the thin skin of Aureus' cheek. The thought of accidentally splitting his son's cheek from lip to ear - the knowledge that it was a very real possibility - was a thought that alarmed him and overrode his fighting instinct. That fear propelled him backwards a step with a noticeable, pained cringe. An outside observer might have thought an electric shock played a role in it somehow. There was a silver lining to his hesitation, though. His backwards movements nearly matched Aureus' forward ones so his son's teeth slammed shut short of their goal. Instead of closing on his throat Aureus got a mouthful of fur and a couple furrows of skin from where his teeth scraped the surface. Quick as a flash Malleus sought to use his left foreleg to sweep Aureus' forelegs out from underneath him. His son would hopefully be so focused on the nearness of his father's jaws and the failure of his bite attempt that he wouldn't be prepared for another sudden change in tactics.
