Bad Company

She seemed indifferent to his compliment, though it seemed perhaps she simply didn't understand it. He couldn't imagine how, he'd never seen much markings before and surely she had been complimented as she grew. Well, no matter, that wasn't important now, was it? What was important was the dance they were about to indulge in, and permanent maiming or not, a slip up could result in a nasty accident. "Naturally. It would kill me to do such an injustice to the world." He winked, wondering if she would catch the meaning since she seemed so perplexed before. If she was in fact completely and knowingly rebuffing him, that still didn't matter. The chase was half the fun. Wasting no time, the strikingly patterned femme was setting her defenses. An attack was sure to be quickly in the preparation's heels. In addition to his rolled neck protecting his jugular, Alta?r pinned his ears safely out of reach of grasping fangs. His stance was already wide, and he pressed his weight downward to hold on, as the ground could be slippery where the mist collected. Although for the moment his tail was for the moment out of reach, he tucked it safely under his belly to protect it and certain other areas. She came fast with the certainty of a practiced warrioress, taking aim at his left foreleg. It was a predictable, but reliable move. Dodging would only result in her follow, and was likely to throw him off balance in the end. He had little time to contemplate, but knew he had three inches on her, and their weight difference was unknown. He was fit and lean, and she was compact and left quite sturdy. He made the quick decision to meet her attack rather than try to avoid it, and dropped his stance. There was no possible way he could redirect her teeth, since she was aiming too low, but what he could try to do was grab the flesh around her shoulders, aiming more for the center in case she tried to move one way or the other. He did so carefully, though by the time she might think to go for the throat, he could have already locked his jaws down, and she would be hard pressed to angle her neck to threaten his. While it would do little else but perhaps create light puncture wounds or bruising, it would provide him with a hold on the female that if he fell, her balance may be thrown enough for him to gather a defense. He was hoping it wouldn't come to that, that by pushing against her he could cancel out her moves to topple him. She'd have little room to move with his fangs in her flesh, forcing her to hopefully try to get away and give them some space. Alternatively, she might just snap deeper into his leg. But that might risk a nasty break, and didn't a limp count as permanently maiming? Well, he could only hope she put such stock into rules, or he could be in trouble. Not every opponent was honorable. End round 1/3 Defenses: Scrunched neck, pinned ears, wide stance, tucked tail. When they make contact, he shifts his weight forward in effort to rebuff her attempts to unbalance him. Attacks: He attempts to attack the closest flesh in her shoulder area, as he is positioned in a way that gives him an off centered eagle eye of the back of her neck and shoulders. Injuries: Damage to lower left forelimb, amount yet unknown. |
