You Only Get One First Impression

With them both just scrambling about on the ground, their fight became more like a war of attrition than a proper spar. Neither Artorias nor Briar seemed to want to let up or give the other one any inch of space to move. The two headstrong puppies were now just grappling and wrestling for any sort of advantage they could seize over their opponent. Art felt his paws make contact with Briar's stomach, only to feel her legs kick back in turn, following his lead and leaving the two in a kicking match. Unfortunately for him, Artorias lacked the benefit of having the sharper feline claws that Briar had, so when a couple of her kicks landed on his stomach, those claws raked against his skin, cutting through his soft belly fur as if it wasn't even there. Artorias yelped in surprise and pain, trying to kick his legs back out to catch and block hers where he could, but still neither of them let the other one go. He refused, holding on through kicks and scratches of razor sharp claws, staunchly maintaining their grapple and denying her an easy victory. She had thought he'd be an easy opponent; so long as he shattered that expectation and gave her a dose of reality, that maybe she wasn't as great as she thought she was, Artorias could count that as a win.
