Learning to do

The little warriors body thrummed and pulsed as the heat of battle filled her. With Basilisk coming in with his mouth wide, she wouldn't disappoint him. Rather than bite behind his jaw as she planned, Aslatiel met his open mouth with her own. His teeth sliced her lower lip as their mouths crashed together, but she believed that the action would throw him off enough that she could use her hold on his leg to jerk it out from beneath him, thus making him lose his balance.

Asla had used this kind of attack before. No one really expected another to repel attacking jaws in kind. That was why she made it a point to do it whenever she could. Besides, if this got a little rise out of the earthen brute, then she would be even more tickled. If he fell, she'd stand over him and kiss him better. If he didn't, she'd make him stand over her (Duh, he was much taller) and kiss her better. Everyone wins. Nobody loses.
