Valentine vs. Acere

Instead of dodging, Valentine took the blow to his shoulder. Instead of flinching away he quickly raised his forelegs and attempted to wrap them around the base of Acere's neck. The pain in his shoulder was easily ignored; he'd experienced far worse than a glancing blow to a well padded area.

He ignored his opponent's foxes. Though several of his children had companions and would no doubt use them in fights, he still held to the belief that their usage was a mark of weakness. Perhaps that put him at a disadvantage, but in his old age he needed something to sneer at the younger generation for, didn't he? Why not their pussification? If he was going to win or lose he was going to do it alone, by himself, solely under his own power with no one to blame for his loss or take away from his victory.

As soon as he realized he was getting a mouthful of dead tiger Valentine switched targets. He was still a touch too slow to move on - it was kind of hard to stop mid bite -so he was a beat behind Acere as the younger male attempted to reach down and bite his throat. That didn't stop him from trying, though. He sought to intercept Ace's bite by biting over the younger male's muzzle, hopefully closing his reaching jaws and keeping them from reaching their target.
