If I Mess Up, I Just Cover It In Cheese

The other wolf wasted little time with small talk, which was just fine by him. He wasn't really here to make a friend anyway, just to work on his own personal fighting skills. "Pleasure to meet you, Skælingr," he offered out of respect before the two of them faced off. He watched as the stranger, who was a bit smaller than him though by enough to mean the fight wasn't fairly evenly matched, set his defenses. Corvus did the same, falling back a bit and distributing his weight evenly, ears pinning back as he waited for the other to strike - or make a move that meant Corvus should strike.
Skælingr charged him quickly, though he reacted just as fast. The other male aimed for his shoulder and grabbed on. Corvus wasn't the type to fight by ducking and dodging; his heavy build didn't give much room for speed in general, so he had learned to use his size to his advantage. Wincing slightly at the hard bite, he twisted his own head, jaws unhinging as he sought to grab hold of the side of Skælingr's neck. It wasn't a good enough position to really leave him vulnerable enough that he'd submit instantly, like if he'd grabbed onto the underside of his throat, but he hoped he might get a firm grip nonetheless, bearing down enough that it might be painful without being overly aggressive. He was done fighting like a pup as well; he might get a bit knocked around in a practice spar, but it was nothing he couldn't recover from, and what better time than now to focus on training when Abaven was doing so well?
