You Only Get One First Impression

They were in a complete stalemate as they grappled together and hit the fairly soft ground with his teeth still latched on to the base of her neck and her claws dug in deep to his scruff. It seemed like her bites around his head didn't really do much to get him to let go since she couldn't quite reach from this angle to do much more than graze the top of his head and his ears were folded out of her reach. She just wanted to get him off of her, but at the same time she was too stubborn to be the first one to let go. It seemed like they were pretty evenly matched and that was maybe the most frustrating bit of all of it! She wanted to be able to completely wipe him out and prove that she was better, but he wasn't going to let her do that without a real fight.

She coiled hind legs to kick at him with her back feet and he happened to have the same thought as her as their back paws started kicking and flailing at each other's stomachs. His hit her a couple of times, knocking the wind out of her a bit but not hurting too bad. She felt like she had a slight upper hand in this department though when she let her claws in on the action as well, attempting to swipe at his stomach with her claws exposed. She didn't try to kick too hard like this since a little nagging voice in the back of her head knew that she'd get in real trouble if she really, really hurt him like this, but if it was enough to just get him to let go then that was victory enough for her as far as she was concerned.
