Animal Crackers

His lazy smile broadened as his deal was accepted. Sweet. Jupiter didn't know if any other members of his family would be as amused by a possible visit from a black sheep and he didn't care. He would be amused and he liked the idea of showing Poem what he'd been brought up to think of as the "right" side of the family. None of that soft, bleeding heart hero stuff his grandpa liked to grouse about.

Technically this was bleeding heart hero stuff, but the flashy titan, though he took his grandfather's lessons to heart, wasn't one to write off a whole category. Doing that would, however minutely,  lessen opportunities to amuse himself - and he couldn't have that. Just think of all the entertainment he might miss out on if he won this little fight. It would be a shame to pass up the opportunity.

Jupiter watched as the girl adopted a defensive stance, but he remained unmoved. His own stance was lackadaisical at best and he continued to sport a lopsided, devil may care grin. As Poem prepared to pounce his grin hardened a bit but that was the only sign he gave that he might be bracing for a fight.

When at last she sprung Jupiter was ready despite what his stance suggested. He leapt to his left as she bore down on him so that her right shoulder grazed the outside of his right shoulder in passing. As soon as his paws were planted again - bunched under him this time -  he jutted out his right shoulder and aimed to drive it into Poem's right shoulder in the hopes of shunting her to the side (her left). Because of his dodge her teeth clipped empty air. For now no blood was drawn.
