Even as he leaped forward he could see the older male beginning to draw back, an evasive move from the attack that Rune attempted to deliver to the black wolf's left shoulder. As his jaws at last came down, he could feel the 'click' as they met, sliding over the wolf's slick pelt to miss skin and only drawing away with dark fur caught within his teeth when his forepaws touched ground again. Lips drew back as he moved his tongue in a vain attempt at dislodging the clumps of fur caught there, but there was little time to truly devote to the small token of vanity and comfort. Cormalin was already moving.

The move the younger male had made had done nothing to distract from the seasoned warrior's stance, so when Cormalin made his own lunge there was plenty leverage behind it. Rune did not quite realize the intention of the attack until it was practically placed, meeting the fierce expression of the other with bared fangs, narrowed eyes, and tightly tucked ears on the chance those parted jaws intended to catch somewhere along the top of his head. His tail, which had flagged outward upon catching his footing after his leap, proceeded to raise slightly while he took a careful step back with his left hind leg to place the paw behind and at an angle to the right as he doubted his ability to keep his footing once the contact was made and held out on the hopes of retaining as much balance as could be had.

Fearful of being caught underneath the wolf, Rune craned his head upward and to the opposite side that the older male reached around his head and neck - foregoing the usual care to protect the latter from attack - and felt his front half be lifted from the ground as the force behind Cormalin's lunge hit him in the chest. Black dipped forepaws reached upward to grip around the larger male's torso as the strong legs of the other moved above them to wrap around his own neck, feeling the pinch and sting of teeth meeting the flesh at his scruff. Trying to minimize the pain and damage he might take from the warrior's attack, Rune merely parted his jaws and attempted to bite into the male's shoulder closest to his muzzle, head turned at a very slight angle so that the teeth along the side of his jaw could catch what they could while he continued to cling to him and try to stay upright on his hind paws.

Round 2/4:

Attacks: A bite, from the side of the muzzle, placed against Cormalin's shoulder.

Defenses: Eyes narrowed, ears tucked, tail flagged outward and raised for balance because of being lifted onto back paws, forepaws gripping Cormalin for support, hind paws positioned at a diagonal angle from each other - the left back but to the side of the right with sort of a "/" line between the paws placement - as a sort of bracing precaution against the force of Cormalin's lunge.

Injuries: Bruising and soreness on his left side from Cormalin's earlier lunge; bite wound upon scruff

OOC: lolol It's alright. xD I'm no stickler on time since I know these things take a certain kind of muse and that's not always readily available at any given time. c:
