"Remember, you're smaller right now, so use that to your advantage. Smaller often means faster, too. When you're against a larger opponent, it's best not to let them get a hold on you," To emphasize, Cloud lunged forward with open jaws, seeking to gently get his teeth around the back of her neck. If she was smart, she'd take his words into account and figure out how to avoid him.
