break me down, build me up

Unfortunately, every attack he made would leave him open for a counter-attack. That was just the reality of things, and he had to remind himself of that as he swiveled around and tried to lift himself on his hind legs and throw his forelimbs around her neck. Instead of pushing up, as he'd expected she might do despite her smaller size, she ducked down - and then up, her jaws coming down on the flesh between his neck and shoulder.

Her hold was a surprisingly good one, even given her angle. Her positioning made jerking away a dangerous prospect - she was just inches away from his throat, and though their fight was just for practice, that didn't mean he trusted her completely to not actually injure him. As she was anticipating he instead chose to loosen his grip on her and bring his weight down hard, hoping he'd send her stumbling... though he'd likely go down with her, hopefully he'd fall on top of her and find a way to regain his balance before she did.
