Standing My Ground

This was definitely some kind of family member, Noir didn’t know how but they were related. He could see the look of determination in the boys eye and would have recognized it anywhere. Rhyme’s side of the family did not back down, and Noir was eager for such a trait. He wanted to see what the younger boy could do, but mostly he wanted to win against him. Not that he had any foul plans to ruin anything, but picking on the Imperialis boy was amusing.

Noir half attempted to hide his smirk as he was given a perfect reaction to his words. The boy’s ears fell back and he hid his initial nervousness. Noir felt his body shift, his weight was distributed more evenly, his joints bent in preparation as his tail flagged more dominantly. His opponent seemed to recover quickly enough as he announced that he was going to try.

Noir chuckled in his deepening voice as he lowered his head and raised his hackles. ”There is only Do and Do not, no trying involved.” Noir offered what he thought to be sound sage advice. Not that the other boy thought so, but Noir was sure he’d get along well with this cousin, uncle, or whatnot. It didn’t matter, the two of them were going to fight. Just as the blue striped brute wanted.

Alarr raced at him and Noir braced for impact. He was a bit heavier than the slightly younger wolf. Noir instinctually pushed his right shoulder forward as the other boy aimed to slam into him. Sharp point met with broad bone. Noir was jarred and forced to take a step back as he pushed through the pain of a forming bruise. Noir’s pivot to his right that made Alarr land the blow to his broad shoulder caused the boy to miss his precise target with his jaws. He was rewarded instead with the fleshy bit of Noir’s thick neck.

Noir took the chance to retaliate, carefully readjusting his balance the Destruction aimed to lean back on his back legs and wrap Alarr into a bear hug. At the same time he took a page from the boy’s book and opened his jaws wide. He aimed to snap them down under Alarr’s left jaw and around the back of his ear so he wouldn’t have as much room to maneuver, and maybe he’d let go of Noir’s neck.
