Best Buds [Nolan]

The darned owl above them gave away his approach and his sneaky attack was foiled before he had a chance to fully execute on it. His front paws landed on the sand with a thud and he shot Cai a playful glare. Luckily his glare unintentionally made him see that Cairo was trying to shove his shoulder into his side and Nolan was able to skitter away just enough to avoid it, feeling the armor that covered his opponent's torso brush his side just to emphasize how close he had been to being knocked over by him. That wide, playful grin never left his face, even as he reset his more defensive, stable stance. He was having a great time and he certainly wouldn't let a missed attack sour his mood.
He saw Cairo's jaws darting for his scruff, and in a moment of quick thinking Nolan let him do it. He wanted his cousin to be in as close quarters as possible for what he had planned. He tried to quickly angle his head and neck a bit so Cai's grasp would solidly land on the thickest part of his scruff. Nolan's legs bent slightly, lowering his stance enough to make him more solid and harder to move so when Cai's leg went to pull at his own to pull him off balance he was able to hold his ground. It made him wobble a bit, but not enough to shake his foundation.
Then, hopefully while Cairo's left paw was still off the ground, Nolan made a quick, hard shove with his shoulder, hoping to push Cairo over with the motion and send him flopping into the water. Now he knew full well that with Cairo's jaws gripping his scruff there could be a strong possibility that he might get pulled into the water with him, but that was a small price to pay in order to see Cairo drenched in the river, right? Or maybe if he was lucky the surprise would make Cairo let go and make it all the sweeter.
