Show Me the Sea

Oh, he was pulling the future alpha card again, was he? Well then, it was time to put the future alpha to a test! Artorias, intent on forcing Rudy to put his money where his mouth was, didn't hold back. Although he had been unable to grab Rudyard by the neck, his paw did make contact with his brother's shoulder, allowing the dark-furred boy to grab at his brother with puppy claws, aiming to grapple with him where he could use his larger size and weight to try and leverage Rudy into a pin. The water was thankfully shallow, so he didn't have to worry about risking drowning him unintentionally or anything, but it was still enough to prohibit their movements and make battle require a bit more forethought. Although Art loved the water, he didn't think he'd ever want to try fighting in it again—but it was still good practice all the same.

Artorias saw Rudy's mouth go for his neck and twisted his body to the side, moving his neck just out of reach, but the water prevented him from completely avoiding Rudy's attack, feeling his brother's teeth find purchase on his jaw. Unable to snap back in their current position, Artorias threw all his weight toward Rudy, hoping that a good grip and the slippery nature of the underwater sand might be enough to get Rudy down.
